Right to contest

What is the right to contest?

The right to contest was launched by the Chief Secretary to the Treasury on 8 January 2014. It provides a mechanism for anyone to seek the sale of potentially surplus or redundant publicly owned land or buildings where they could be put to better economic use. See Practice Note: Right to contest.

The government has published guidance on how the right operates and the process that applicants need to follow, including a standard application form.

Purpose

The government owns or occupies a significant amount of surplus or redundant land that Ministers believe could be put to better use.
