The aim of this text is to assess whether human rights law is an effective mechanism to challenge the harm caused by housing estate regeneration effected by the use of compulsory purchase orders in the United Kingdom. The focus of this text relates to the actions of local authorities or public bodies that attract the jurisdiction of the ECHR and the applicable international human rights law. The book analyses any potential or existing human rights breaches associated with estate regeneration under the ECHR regime and briefly discusses the relevant international human rights law. International human rights law although discussed briefly below requires a separate chapter in terms of assessing how international human rights law safeguards against violations associated with CPO enforced estate regeneration.
