Sirs/Ma'am,

I am writing regarding farmland formerly belonging to my family, which
later formed part of the litigation known as BP v Buckler (1987).

I now hold a structured list of reasons and supporting evidence which I
believe strongly suggest that the land transfer and subsequent development
was procured by fraud and conspiracy involving government actors. The
evidential threshold I now hold, if correct, would meet the reopening
conditions described under s.23 of the Limitation Act 1980 – meaning that
litigation, rectification and title recovery proceedings may be
legitimately initiated.

However, before progressing litigation, I wish to formally offer the UK
Government the opportunity to resolve this matter via public law tools
rather than adversarial reopening. Specifically: I would like to enquire
whether an acquiring authority could lawfully consider using compulsory
purchase powers to acquire the 23 properties that now sit on this former
farmland, and transfer title / beneficial ownership back to my family,
where this could be framed as a public interest rectification measure
rather than a private benefit case.

Could you please:

   - confirm which acquiring authority would be competent jurisdictionally
   for this scenario,
   - outline which statutory route would be the correct CPO framework to
   assess this under, and
   - confirm any preliminary information requirements you would need from
   me (title data, timeline, evidential index etc) if this was to be scoped
   and reviewed.


I am willing to provide a full indexed evidence pack for confidential
review.

Kind regards,

Sion Buckler
