This survey seeks information about your specific professional experience of the use of compulsory acquisition and utility powers with regard to a specific claim in which you have been involved. Please answer as many questions as you can based on a single claim, but even incomplete responses may still be useful. Your response will be confidential. The objective of the survey is to gather data on current practice in the acquisition of land and rights under compulsory purchase powers in order to inform commentary, future policy and future professional development in these areas. I hope you might be willing to revisit the survey and provide information about other claims in which you have been involved. The survey has been designed in accordance with the ethical codes of the Market Research Society and the British Educational Research Association. It is sponsored and administered by Charles Cowap who can be contacted by email at cdcowap@gmail.com, or by post at Stapeley House, Nantwich, Cheshire CW5 7JW
