Plans for a multimillion-pound campus in Suffolk have moved forward after the Government approved the purchase of land for the project.

Government Green Light for Waveney Campus Project

The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Rt Hon Hazel Blears MP, has authorised the compulsory purchase order of land to build the Waveney Campus.

The authorisation confirms the Secretary of State’s view that there is a compelling case for the acquisition to take place, as it is in the public interest.

Waveney Council sought to buy the land at Lake Lothing, Lowestoft, in 2006 and it has now been given the go-ahead.

The £53m campus will be home to about 1,000 staff from the area and Suffolk County Council when it opens in 2010.
