Local authority search reveals house buying under a Compulsary Purchase act

But this sounds like an order on the land, rather than a house and its individual plot, issued prior to development, so very different.My friend has a similar order on her house - as have the neighbouring properties. It relates to an old planning application to build a tramway system which was shelved years ago due to lack of funds. They have never completely withdrawn the plans so she simply can not sell her house as nobody will touch it.
I don't think they are about to start bulldozing parts of MK built around 1990.0 -

From what I understand, if the authority has got as far as making the CPO then the owners of affected property can make the authority purchase the property at the appropriate valuation. Otherwise the authority has to go through the process of revoking the CPO.
If the project didn't get as far as a made CPO then the owner may be able to claim 'planning blight' compensation. Authorities that cancel projects of this type normally publish a notice to make it clear the proposals have been abandoned and therefore remove their liability to pay planning blight compensation."In the future, everyone will be rich for 15 minutes"0
