The information is for those whose property interests are affected by the North Lanarkshire Council (Blocks C, D and E Millcroft Road, Cumbernauld) Compulsory Purchase Order 2023.Those affected will have received notices by letter direct to their registered addresses. To support the Regeneration of Millcroft Road, in November 2021, the council approved the making of a Compulsory Purchase Order for the 168 privately owned properties at Millcroft Road.

The CPO was submitted to the Scottish Government on 29 March 2023 for determination. The Scottish Government received objections to the CPO and as such, a Scottish Government Hearing was held on the 17th and 18th of April 2024 at the Castlecary Hotel, Castlecary Road, Cumbernauld, G68 0HD. The Hearing was adjourned by the Scottish Government Reporter and two further dates were added to the Scottish Government Hearing process, the 4th and 6th of June 2024 at the DPEA Offices, Hadrian House, Callendar Business Park, Falkirk.

Since the Scottish Government Hearing was not concluded at this time, the Hearing again reconvened upon the Reporter’s request for the final day on Tuesday, 27 August 2024 at the Castlecary Hotel, Castlecary Road, Castlecary, Glasgow, G68 0HD.

It is worth noting that following the Hearing, the Scottish Government Reporter on behalf of the DPEA will submit a recommendation to the relevant Scottish Government Ministers who will determine the outcome of the CPO.  

Therefore, no outcome will be known until the Scottish Government Ministers have made their decision and all owners and residents will be kept updated throughout this process via North Lanarkshire Council and additional updates regarding the Hearing can be found here:  Scottish Government - DPEA - Case Details (scotland.gov.uk)
