Land Consolidation Act (UK)

The Land Consolidation Act (UK) is legislation aimed at improving agricultural land management by reorganizing and combining small, fragmented plots into larger, more efficient parcels. This process helps modernize farming, reduces land disputes, and enhances productivity. The Act provides a legal framework for governments to facilitate land consolidation through surveys, negotiations, and, if necessary, compulsory purchase. Overall, it supports rural development by making land use more efficient, sustainable, and better suited to contemporary farming needs.
