Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many compulsory purchase orders have been made, by London borough, (a) in total, (b) for heritage purposes and (c) to provide housing in each year since 1990.

The Department does not hold the specific information requested, compulsory purchase order data only exists from 2011 to present day. However, to obtain this information would involve interrogating individual case records, at disproportionate cost. We do not hold information on compulsory purchase orders for heritage purposes which are the responsibility of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
