The proposed use of Temporary Powers – Article 31 a) Any use of temporary powers should be limited to areas not intended to be compulsorily acquired. b) The applicant should be obligated to make advance payments when temporary powers are chosen to be used. c) The period over which land may be possessed under temporary powers needs to be limited to 2 years. d) Temporary possession powers should not permit the Applicant to demolish existing buildings. 2. Business Relocation We see no evidence that the Applicant has done anything to address: 1. Re-provision of premises for relocation of occupiers 2. Availability of property at the point of dispossession 3. Sufficient timescale within which to relocate businesses or reinvest in property 3. The London Resort Premium a) The fairness of the terms and conditions proposed b) The need for the offer to be secured within the DCO 4. Generalised Blight a) The impact on the property market (occupier and investor) during the period of uncertainty brought about by publication of the applicants’ proposals b) The lack of any support for most owners during the period of uncertainty
