Legal Terms - Blight Notice
A statutory notice that allows an owner-occupier to demand a public authority to buy land that may be subject to compulsory acquisition, making it impossible to sell at its full worth on the open market. The land may be indicated, for instance, in a development plan or officially designated in public proposals as the location for a future highway. In reality, the blight notice functions as a type of reverse compulsory purchase: the eligible owner has the power to demand that the authority buy their property at a market price that does not take into account the impact of the authority's plans.
