Regulation 8 Site inspections
The inspector may, at any time, make—
an unaccompanied inspection without giving prior notice to the acquiring authority or the remaining objectors; or
an inspection in the company of a representative of the acquiring authority and each remaining objector,
of land which is the subject of the compulsory purchase order and of the surrounding area.
In the case of an inspection under paragraph (1)(b), the authorising authority shall send notification of the date and time of the inspection to the acquiring authority if it is not the authorising authority and the remaining objectors not later than five working days before that date.
The inspector shall not be bound to defer an inspection under paragraph (1)(b) at the time appointed.
If a request for an inspection under paragraph (1)(b) is made by the acquiring authority or a remaining objector and is received by the authorising authority not later than ten working days after the starting date, the authorising authority must arrange for such an inspection to take place.
