Land expertise behind Oxford flood scheme

With Oxford hit by eight major floods since 2000 - and the risk rising due to climate change, the Secretary of State has approved the Compulsory Purchase Order for the £176 million Oxford Flood Alleviation Scheme, following a public inquiry by the Planning Inspectorate. Evidence from the inquiry highlights the key role played by infrastructure specialists Dalcour Maclaren in land strategy and securing the consents needed to move the project forward. The scheme will protect more than 2,000 homes and critical infrastructure across the city.
