Planning Blight

It is difficult to sell or develop a site, building, etc., because it is affected by a government or local­ authority development plan. Planning blight may be ended by compulsory purchase by the government or local authority. Still, it may continue indefinitely if the government plans fail to mature or if the site itself is not required by the development but is ren­ dered unsaleable or Jess valuable by its proximity to the development.
