As I understand it Iceman, the council could apply a compulsory purchase order on the charity but they would still have to pay the going rate for the land or find some other similar suitable land for the charity to operate what it has at present. So, even that isn't as simple as it sounds to some and throughout all of this don't forget that we are talking about solicitors here at CISWO and the Charity Commission and probably at the council offices as well. They are not known for their speedy work!!!!!!!!
