Based on Doug's original post, the grain company wants the adjacent property, not Doug's, for their development. However, they seem happy to buy Doug's property as well - whether for future expansion or just to appease Doug and remove the only possible source of objection is a matter of debate. There doesn't seem to be any question of compulsory acquisition, especially as this is a commercial development.

Is that right Doug?

Anyway, regardless of the tack Doug wants to take, I think it would be foolish not to have at least consulted a solicitor before talking to the company - the company doesn't have to know. If it were me, however, I'd want that solicitor actively involved, thought not necessarily in an adversarial context.
