The UK government is seeking views on proposals to make certain data in respect of ‘contractual control’ interests in land (rights of pre-emption, options, conditional contracts) publicly available.
The Contractual Controls on Land Consultation which opened on 24 January 2024 and follows the 2020 Call for Evidence, is part of the government’s plan to increase transparency around contractual arrangements used to exercise control over the acquisition and disposal of land and move towards a modernised, open-data approach within the planning system to improve the overall development process.
