Secondly, in relation to safeguarding the interests of landowners who have had land acquired without being compensated for hope value, where an authority has not fulfilled the commitments it relied on when obtaining the CPO and the direction which allowed it to acquire the land without hope value, landowners can seek directions from the Secretary of State for the payment of the compensation they missed out on. Where the Secretary of State decides that such compensation is payable, it must be paid by the acquiring authority.
