2.—(1) Without limitation on the scope of paragraph 1, the Land Compensation Act 1973(39) has effect subject to the modifications set out in sub-paragraphs (2) and (3).
(3) For section 58(1)(40) (determination of material detriment where part of house etc. proposed for compulsory acquisition), as it applies to determinations under section 8 of the 1965 Act as substituted by paragraph 5, substitute—
(a)a right over or a restrictive covenant affecting land consisting of a house, building or manufactory can be taken or imposed without material detriment or damage to the house, building or manufactory; or
(b)a right over or a restrictive covenant affecting land consisting of a park or garden belonging to a house can be taken or imposed without seriously affecting the amenity or convenience of the house,
the Upper Tribunal must take into account not only the effect of the acquisition of the right or the imposition of the restrictive covenant but also the use to be made of the right or restrictive covenant proposed to be acquired or imposed, and, in a case where the right or restrictive covenant is proposed to be acquired or imposed for works or other purposes extending to other land, the effect of the whole of the works and the use to be made of the other land.”.
3.—(1) The 1965 Act has effect with the modifications necessary to make it apply to the compulsory acquisition under this Order of a right by the creation of a new right, or to the imposition under this Order of a restrictive covenant, as it applies to the compulsory acquisition under this Order of land, so that, in appropriate contexts, references in that Act to land are read (according to the requirements of the particular context) as referring to, or as including references to—
(2) Without limitation on the scope of sub-paragraph (1), Part 1 of the 1965 Act applies in relation to the compulsory acquisition under this Order of a right by the creation of a new right, or in relation to the imposition of a restrictive covenant, with the modifications specified in the following provisions of this Schedule.
4. For section 7 (measure of compensation) of the 1965 Act there is substituted the following section—
5. For section 8 (other provisions as to divided land) of the 1965 Act there is substituted the following section—
(b)before the tribunal has determined that question the tribunal is satisfied that the person has an interest in the whole of the relevant land and is able and willing to sell that land and—
(ii)where that land consists of such a park or garden, that the right cannot be purchased or restrictive covenant imposed without seriously affecting the amenity or convenience of the house to which that land belongs,
the Network Rail (Ordsall Chord) Order 2015(41) (“the Order”), in relation to that person, ceases to authorise the purchase of the right and is deemed to authorise the purchase of that person’s interest in the whole of the relevant land including, where the land consists of such a park or garden, the house to which it belongs, and the notice is deemed to have been served in respect of that interest on such date as the tribunal directs.
7. Section 11(42) (powers of entry) of the 1965 Act is modified so as to secure that, as from the date on which the acquiring authority has served notice to treat in respect of any right it has power, exercisable in equivalent circumstances and subject to equivalent conditions, to enter for the purpose of exercising that right or enforcing that restrictive covenant (which is deemed for this purpose to have been created on the date of service of the notice); and sections 12(43) (penalty for unauthorised entry) and 13(44) (entry on warrant in the event of obstruction) of the 1965 Act are modified correspondingly.
8. Section 20(45) (protection for interests of tenants at will, etc.) of the 1965 Act applies with the modifications necessary to secure that persons with such interests in land as are mentioned in that section are compensated in a manner corresponding to that in which they would be compensated on a compulsory acquisition under this Order of that land, but taking into account only the extent (if any) of such interference with such an interest as is actually caused, or likely to be caused, by the exercise of the right or the enforcement of the restrictive covenant in question.

18. Without limitation on the scope of paragraph 17, the requirements which the lead local flood authority may make under that paragraph include conditions requiring Network Rail at its own expense to construct such protective works, whether temporary or permanent, during the construction of the specified works (including the provision of flood banks, walls or embankments or other new works and the strengthening, repair or renewal of existing banks, walls or embankments) as are reasonably necessary—

33.—(1) Network Rail, on being given reasonable notice (except in cases of emergency), must at all reasonable times allow reasonable facilities to MSCC for access to inspect any specified work during its construction.
(2) Network Rail must supply MSCC with all such information as MSCC may reasonably require with regard to any specified work or the method of constructing it.
34.—(1) If any reasonable alterations or additions, either permanent or temporary, to the River are necessary in consequence of the construction of the specified work in order to avoid detriment and MSCC gives to Network Rail reasonable notice (being not less than 28 days) of its intention to carry out such alterations or additions (which must be specified in the notice), and takes into account any reasonable representations Network Rail may make to the notice within 21 days of receipt of the notice, Network Rail must pay to MSCC, provided that 28 days’ notice has been given to Network Rail, the cost of those alterations or additions reasonably incurred including, in respect of permanent alterations and additions, a capitalised sum representing the increase of the costs which may be expected to be reasonably incurred by MSCC in maintaining, working and, when necessary, renewing any such alterations or additions.
(2) If the cost of maintaining, working or renewing the River is reduced as a consequence of any such alterations or additions referred to in sub-paragraph (1) a capitalised sum representing such saving is to be set-off against any sum payable by Network Rail to MSCC under sub-paragraph (1).
35.—(1) Network Rail must, upon completion of any part of a specified work and after the purpose of any temporary works has been accomplished, remove as soon as practicable any temporary works constructed and materials for temporary works placed in, on or over the River in connection with that part of the specified work.

(4) In the event of Network Rail failing to remove the temporary works within a reasonable period after receiving notice from MSCC, MSCC may remove those works and charge Network Rail the costs and expenses reasonably incurred as a result.
36. If at any time after the completion of a specified work, not being a work vested in MSCC, MSCC gives notice to Network Rail informing it that the state of maintenance of the specified work appears to be such that the specified work is causing or is likely to cause detriment, Network Rail must, on receipt of such notice, take such steps as may be reasonably necessary to put the specified work in such state of maintenance as not to cause such detriment.
37. Network Rail must repay to MSCC all costs, charges and expenses reasonably and properly incurred by MSCC—
(a)in constructing any protective work under the provisions of paragraph 28(3)(a) including, in respect of any permanent protective work, a capitalised sum representing the cost of maintaining and renewing those works;
(b)in respect of the employment of any inspectors, watchguards and other persons whom it is reasonably necessary to appoint for inspecting, watching and lighting any part of the River affected by any specified work or protective work and for preventing as far as may be practicable all interference, obstruction, danger or accident arising from the construction, maintenance, renewal, repair or failure of the specified work or any protective work;

(d)in bringing the specified work or any protective work to the notice of users of the River.
38.—(1) If any detriment to the River or any interference with, or delay or obstruction to, any vessels on the River is caused by, or arises as a result of, the construction or failure of any specified work or protective work carried out by Network Rail, Network Rail or (if MSCC so elects) MSCC (but at Network Rail’s expense), must immediately make good such detriment and Network Rail must on demand pay to MSCC all reasonable expenses to which MSCC may be put, and compensation for any loss which MSCC may sustain, in making good or otherwise by reason of any such detriment, interference, delay or obstruction.
(2) Network Rail is responsible for and must make good to MSCC all claims, demands, proceedings, costs, charges, damages, expenses and losses not otherwise provided for in this Part of this Schedule or in accordance with paragraph (3) of article 20 (temporary interference with river and waterway) which may be occasioned to or reasonably incurred by MSCC—
(a)by reason of the construction or failure of any specified work or a protective work;
(b)by reason of any planned closure of the River, as a result of the construction or failure of any specified work or a protective work, or of any closure which is not in accordance with the provisions of this Part of this Schedule;
(c)by reason of any planned closure of the River over-running, as a result of the construction or failure of any specified work or a protective work; and

(4) The fact that any act or thing may have been done by MSCC on behalf of Network Rail does not (if it was done without negligence on the part of MSCC or any person in its employ or its contractor or agents) excuse Network Rail from any liability under the provisions of this paragraph.
(5) MSCC must give to Network Rail reasonable notice of any such claim or demand and no settlement or compromise of any such claim or demand must be made without the prior consent in writing of Network Rail (which must not be unreasonably withheld) which, if it notifies MSCC that it desires to do so, must have the sole conduct of any settlement or compromise or of any proceedings necessary to resist the claim or demand provided that no settlement or compromise of any such claim or demand is to be made without the consent of MSCC (which must not be unreasonably withheld). If consent is not given by Network Rail, MSCC must diligently defend such claim or demand.
39. Where under any provision of this Part of this Schedule MSCC or Network Rail (as the case may be) is entitled to a capitalised sum, it must provide such details of the formula by which the sum is calculated as may reasonably be requested by the party required to pay the sum.
40. Except as provided by this Order, nothing in this Order prejudices or derogates from the estates, rights, interests, privileges, liberties or franchises of MSCC or alters or diminishes any power, authority or jurisdiction vested in MSCC at the making of this Order.
41. Any differences arising between Network Rail and MSCC under this Part of this Schedule (other than a difference as to the meaning or construction of this Part of this Schedule) must be referred to and settled by arbitration in accordance with article 44 (arbitration).

(7) The consent of the Trust under sub-paragraphs (1) to (6) and the approval of plans under sub-paragraph (4) must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed but may be given subject to reasonable terms and conditions which in the case of article 17 (discharge of water) may include conditions—
(b)authorising the Trust on giving reasonable notice (except in an emergency, when the Trust may require immediate suspension) to Network Rail to require Network Rail to suspend the discharge of water or reduce the flow of water where this is necessary by reason of any operational or environmental requirement of the Trust.
44. Network Rail must not use any land or property of the Trust forming part of the waterway for the passage or siting of vehicles, plant or machinery employed in the construction of a specified work other than—
(a)with the consent in writing of the engineer whose consent must not be unreasonably withheld; and
(ii)in order to avoid or reduce any inconvenience to the Trust, its officers and agents and all other persons lawfully on such land or property,
but nothing in this paragraph applies in relation to anything done in accordance with any approval given by the Trust under paragraph 47.
45. Where so required by the engineer Network Rail must to the reasonable satisfaction of the engineer fence off a specified work or a protective work or take such other steps as the engineer may require to be taken for the purpose of separating a specified work or a protective work from the waterway, whether on a temporary or permanent basis.
46.—(1) Before the commencement of the initial construction of any part of the specified work and again following practical completion of the specified work Network Rail must bear the reasonable cost of the carrying out by a qualified engineer (“the surveyor”), to be approved by the Trust and Network Rail, of a survey (including a dip-survey to measure the depth of the waterway and a survey to measure the headroom of the existing road bridge over the waterway) (“the survey”) of so much of the waterway and of any land and works of Network Rail in existence at the date of the coming into force of this Order which may provide support for the waterway as will or may be affected by the specified works.
(2) For the purposes of the survey Network Rail must—
(a)on being given reasonable notice (except in case of emergency, when immediate access must be afforded) afford reasonable facilities to the surveyor for access to the site of the specified works and to any land and existing works of Network Rail which may provide support for the waterway as will or may be affected by the specified works; and
(b)supply the surveyor as soon as reasonably practicable with all such information as the surveyor may reasonably require with regard to such existing works of Network Rail and to the specified works or the method of their construction.
(3) The reasonable costs of the survey must include the costs of any dewatering or reduction of the water level of any part of the waterway (where reasonably required) which may be effected to facilitate the carrying out of the survey and the provisions of this Part of this Schedule apply with all necessary modifications to any such dewatering or reduction in the water level as though those measures were specified works.
(4) Copies of the report of the survey must be provided to both the Trust and Network Rail at no cost to the Trust.
47.—(1) Network Rail must before commencing construction of any specified work including any temporary works supply to the Trust proper and sufficient plans of that work and such further particulars available to it as the Trust may within 14 days of the submission of the plans reasonably require for the approval of the engineer and must not commence such construction of a specified work until plans of that work have been approved in writing by the engineer or settled by arbitration.
(2) The approval of the engineer under sub-paragraph (1) must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and must not be withheld in respect of a design which accords with the design drawings, and if within 56 days after such plans (including any other particulars reasonably required under sub-paragraph (1)) have been supplied to the Trust the engineer has not intimated disapproval of those plans and the grounds of disapproval the engineer is deemed to have approved the plans as submitted.
(3) When signifying approval of the plans the engineer may specify—
(a)any protective work (whether temporary or permanent) which in the reasonable opinion of the engineer should be carried out before the commencement of a specified work to prevent detriment; and
and such protective works must be constructed by Network Rail or by the Trust at Network Rail’s request with all reasonable dispatch and Network Rail must not commence the construction of a specified work until the engineer has notified Network Rail that the protective works have been completed to the engineer’s reasonable satisfaction.
48. Without affecting its obligations under the provisions of this Part of this Schedule Network Rail must consult, collaborate with and respond constructively to any approach, suggestion, proposal or initiative made by the Trust on—
(a)the design and appearance of any specified works, including the materials to be used for their construction; and
(b)the environmental effects of the specified work,
and must have regard to such views as may be expressed by the Trust, to the extent that these accord with the design drawings and the requirements of the local planning authority, in response to such consultation pursuant in particular to the requirements imposed on the Trust by section 22 (general environmental and recreational duties) of the British Waterways Act 1995(53) and to the interest of the Trust in preserving and enhancing the environment of its waterways.
49. Network Rail must give to the engineer 56 days’ notice of its intention to commence the construction of any of the specified or protective works, or, in the case of repair carried out in an emergency, such notice as may be reasonably practicable so that, in particular, the Trust may where appropriate arrange for the publication of notices bringing those works to the attention of users of the Trust’s network.
50. Network Rail must provide and maintain at its own expense in the vicinity of the specified or protective works such temporary lighting and such signal lights for the control of navigation as the engineer may reasonably require during the construction or failure of the specified or protective works.
51.—(1) Any specified or protective works must, when commenced, be constructed—
(a)without unnecessary delay in accordance with the plans approved or deemed to have been approved or settled in accordance with this Part of this Schedule and with any requirements made under paragraph 47(3) and paragraph 48;
(d)in such manner as to cause as little inconvenience as is reasonably practicable to the Trust, its officers and agents and all other persons lawfully using the waterway, except to the extent that temporary obstruction has otherwise been agreed by the Trust.
(2) Nothing in this Order authorises Network Rail to make or maintain any permanent works in or over the waterway which will reduce the dimensions of the waterway or prevent the passage of any vessel which is at the date of this Order able to navigate along the waterway.
(3) Following the completion of the construction of the specified works Network Rail must restore the waterway to a condition no less satisfactory than its condition immediately prior to the commencement of those works.
52. Network Rail must not in the course of constructing a specified work or a protective work or otherwise in connection with those works do or permit anything which may result in the pollution of the waterway or the deposit of materials in it and must take such steps as the engineer may reasonably require to avoid or make good any breach of its obligations under this paragraph.
53.—(1) Network Rail on being given reasonable notice must—
(2) The Trust on being given reasonable notice must—
(a)at all times afford reasonable facilities to Network Rail and its agents for access to any works carried out by the Trust under this Part of this Schedule during their construction; and
(b)supply Network Rail with such information as it may reasonably require with regard to such works or the method of constructing them and Network Rail must reimburse the Trust’s reasonable costs in relation to the supply of such information.
54. If at any time after the completion of a specified work or a protective work, not being a work vested in the Trust, the Trust gives notice to Network Rail informing it that the state of maintenance of the work appears to be such that the work is causing or likely to cause detriment, Network Rail must, on receipt of such notice, take such steps as may be reasonably necessary to put the work in such state of maintenance as not to cause such detriment.
55. Network Rail must repay to the Trust all fees, costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the Trust—
(a)in constructing any protective works under paragraph 47(3)(a);
(b)in respect of the approval by the engineer of plans submitted by Network Rail and the supervision by the engineer of the construction or repair of a specified work and any protective works;
(c)in respect of the employment during the construction of the specified works or any protective works of any inspectors, watchkeepers and other persons whom it is reasonably necessary to appoint for inspecting, watching and lighting any waterway and for preventing, so far as may be reasonably practicable, interference, obstruction, danger or accident arising from the construction or failure of the specified works or any protective works; and
(d)in bringing the specified works or any protective works to the notice of users of the Trust’s network.
56.—(1) If any detriment is caused by the construction or failure of the specified works or the protective works carried out by Network Rail, Network Rail (if so required by the Trust) must make good such detriment and pay to the Trust all reasonable expenses to which the Trust may be put, and compensation for any loss which the Trust may sustain, in making good or otherwise by reason of the detriment.
(2) Network Rail is responsible for and must make good to the Trust all costs, charges, damages, expenses and losses not otherwise provided for in this Part of this Schedule which may be occasioned to or reasonably incurred by the Trust—
(a)by reason of the construction of a specified work or a protective work or the failure of such a work; or
(b)by reason of any act or omission of Network Rail or of any person in its employ or of its contractors or others whilst engaged upon the construction of a specified work or a protective work;
and subject to sub-paragraph (4) Network Rail must effectively indemnify and hold harmless the Trust from and against all claims and demands arising out of or in connection with any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b).
(3) The fact that any act or thing may have been done by the Trust on behalf of Network Rail or in accordance with plans approved by the engineer or in accordance with any requirement of the engineer or under the engineer’s supervision or in accordance with any directions or awards of an arbitrator does not (if it was done without negligence on the part of the Trust or of any person in its employ or of its contractors or agents) excuse Network Rail from any liability under the provisions of this paragraph.
(4) The Trust must give Network Rail reasonable notice of any such claim or demand and no settlement or compromise of such a claim or demand is to be made without the prior consent of Network Rail.
57. Any difference arising between Network Rail and the Trust under this Part of this Schedule (other than a difference as to the meaning or construction of the Part of this Schedule) is to be referred to and settled by arbitration in accordance with article 44 (arbitration).
This Order authorises Network Rail Infrastructure Limited to construct and maintain a new chord railway, linking the Castlefield Junction line with the Chat Moss lines in the Ordsall area of Greater Manchester, including alterations to existing railway infrastructure. The new railway will provide a direct link between the three main stations in Manchester (Victoria, Oxford Road and Piccadilly) and will enable trains from the east of England to reach Manchester Airport without crossing the West Coast Main Line to the south of Manchester Piccadilly. The Order authorises the acquisition of land and rights in land, and the use of land, for this purpose.
Copies of the land plans, the works plans, the sections and the book of reference referred to in the Order may be inspected at the offices of the Company Secretary and Solicitor to Network Rail Infrastructure Limited at 1 Eversholt Street, London, NW1 2DN.
