PART 3 ACQUISITION AND POSSESSION OF LAND Powers of acquisition Power to acquire land 8 The promoter may acquire compulsorily so much of the land shown on the works and land plans within the limits of deviation as land to be acquired compulsorily and described in the book of reference as may be required for the purposes of the authorised works and may use any land so acquired for those purposes or for any other purposes that are ancillary to the promoter’s statutory undertaking. Application of Part 1 of the 1965 Act 9 1 Part 1 of the 1965 Act, insofar as not modified by or inconsistent with the provisions of this Order, applies to the acquisition of land under this Order— a as it applies to a compulsory purchase to which the 1981 Act applies; and b as if this Order were a compulsory purchase order under that Act. 2 Part 1 of the 1965 Act, as applied by paragraph (1), has effect as if section 4 (which provides a time limit for compulsory purchase of land) and paragraph 3(3) of Schedule 3 (which makes provision as to the giving of bonds) were omitted. Application of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 10 1 The Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 applies as if this Order were a compulsory purchase order. 2 The Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981, as applied by paragraph (1), has effect with the following modifications. 3 In section 3 (preliminary notices) for subsection (1) substitute— 1 Before making a declaration under section 4 with respect to any land which is subject to a compulsory purchase order the acquiring authority must include the particulars specified in subsection (3) in a notice which is— a given to every person with a relevant interest in the land with respect to which the declaration is to be made (other than a mortgagee who is not in possession); and b published in a local newspaper circulating in the area in which the land is situated. . 4 In that section, in subsection (2), for “(1)(b)” substitute “(1)” and after “given” insert “and published”. 5 In that section, for subsections (5) and (6) substitute— 5 For the purposes of this section, a person has a relevant interest in land if— a that person is for the time being entitled to dispose of the fee simple of the land, whether in possession or in reversion; or b that person holds, or is entitled to the rents and profits of, the land under a lease or agreement, the unexpired term of which exceeds one month. . 6 In section 5 (earliest date for execution of declaration)— a in subsection (1), after “publication” insert “in a local newspaper circulating in the area in which the land is situated”; and b omit subsection (2). 7 In section 7 (constructive notice to treat) in subsection (1)(a), omit “(as modified by section 4 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981)”. 8 References to the 1965 Act are construed as references to that Act as applied to the acquisition of land under article 8 (power to acquire land). Power to acquire new rights 11 1 The promoter may acquire compulsorily such easements or other rights over any land referred to in article 8 (power to acquire land), as may be required for any purpose for which that land may be acquired under that provision, by creating them as well as by acquiring easements or other rights already in existence. 2 Subject to section 8 of the 1965 Act (as substituted by paragraph 5 of Schedule 2 (modification of compensation and compulsory purchase enactments for creation of new rights)), where the promoter acquires a right over land under paragraph (1) or article 12 (new rights etc. only to be acquired in certain lands) the promoter is not required to acquire a greater interest in that land. 3 Schedule 2 has effect for the purpose of modifying the enactments relating to compensation and the provisions of the 1965 Act in their application in relation to the compulsory acquisition under this article or article 12 of a right over land by the creation of a new right. New rights etc. only to be acquired in certain lands 12 The promoter may acquire compulsorily such easements or other new rights in or over any of the land specified in columns (1) and (2) of Schedule 3 (land in which only new rights etc. may be acquired) (being land shown on the works and land plans and described in the book of reference) as it may require for the purpose described in column (3) of that Schedule; such land being within the limits of land to be acquired or used but outside the limits of deviation. Compensation Disregard of certain interests and improvements 13 1 In assessing the compensation payable to any person on the acquisition from that person of any land under this Order, the tribunal must not take into account— a any interest in land; or b any enhancement of the value of any interest in land by reason of any building erected, works executed or improvement or alteration made on relevant land, if the tribunal is satisfied that the creation of the interest, the erection of the building, the execution of the works or the making of the improvement or alteration was not reasonably necessary and was undertaken with a view to obtaining compensation or increased compensation. 2 In paragraph (1) “relevant land” means the land acquired from the person concerned or any other land with which that person is, or was at the time when the building was erected, the works executed or the improvement or alteration made, directly or indirectly concerned. Set-off for enhancement in value of retained land 14 1 In assessing the compensation payable to any person in respect of the acquisition from that person under this Order of any land (including the subsoil) the tribunal must set off against the value of the land so acquired any increase in value of any contiguous or adjacent land belonging to that person in the same capacity which will accrue to that person by reason of the construction of the authorised works. 2 In assessing the compensation payable to any person in respect of the acquisition from that person of any new rights over land (including the subsoil) under article 11 (power to acquire new rights) and article 12 (new rights etc. only to be acquired in certain lands), the tribunal must set off against the value of the rights so acquired— a any increase in the value of the land over which the new rights are required; and b any increase in value of any contiguous or adjacent land belonging to that person in the same capacity, which will accrue to that person by reason of the construction of the authorised works. 3 The 1961 Act has effect, subject to paragraphs (1) and (2), as if this Order were a local enactment for the purposes of that Act. Supplementary Acquisition of part of certain properties 15 1 This article applies instead of section 8(1) of the 1965 Act (as applied by article 9 (application of Part 1 of the 1965 Act)) in any case where— a a notice to treat is served on a person (“the owner”) under the 1965 Act (as applied) in respect of land forming only part of a house, building or manufactory or of land consisting of a house with a park or garden (“the land subject to the notice to treat”); and b a copy of this article is served on the owner with the notice to treat. 2 In such a case, the owner may, within the period of 21 days beginning with the day on which the notice was served, serve on the promoter a counter-notice objecting to the sale of the land subject to the notice to treat which states that the owner is willing and able to sell the whole (“the land subject to the counter-notice”). 3 If no such counter-notice is served within that period, the owner must sell the land subject to the notice to treat. 4 If such a counter-notice is served within that period, the question whether the owner must sell only the land subject to the notice to treat is, unless the promoter agrees to take the land subject to the counter-notice, to be referred to the tribunal. 5 If on such a reference the tribunal determine that the land subject to the notice to treat can be taken— a without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice; or b in the case of part of land consisting of a house with a park or garden, without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice and without seriously affecting the amenity and convenience of the house, the owner must sell the land subject to the notice to treat. 6 If on such a reference the tribunal determine that only part of the land subject to the notice to treat can be taken— a without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice; or b in the case of part of land consisting of a house with a park or garden, without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice and without seriously affecting the amenity and convenience of the house, the notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for that part. 7 If on such a reference the tribunal determine that— a the land subject to the notice to treat cannot be taken without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice; but b the material detriment is confined to a part of the land subject to the counter-notice, the notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for the land to which the material detriment is confined in addition to the land already subject to the notice, whether or not the additional land is land which the promoter is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order. 8 If the promoter agrees to take the land subject to the counter-notice, or if the tribunal determine that— a none of the land subject to the notice to treat can be taken without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice or, as the case may be, without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice and without seriously affecting the amenity and convenience of the house; and b the material detriment is not confined to a part of the land subject to the counter-notice, the notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for the land subject to the counter-notice whether or not the whole of that land is land which the promoter is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order. 9 In any case where by virtue of a determination by the tribunal under this article a notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for less land or more land than that specified in the notice, the promoter may, within the period of 6 weeks beginning with the day on which the determination is made, withdraw the notice to treat; and if it does so must pay the owner compensation for any loss or expense occasioned to the owner by the giving and withdrawal of the notice, to be determined in case of dispute by the tribunal. 10 Where the owner is required under this article to sell only part of a house, building or manufactory or of land consisting of a house with a park or garden, the promoter must pay the owner compensation for any loss sustained by the owner due to the severance of that part in addition to the value of the interest acquired. Time limit for exercise of powers of acquisition 16 After the end of the period of 5 years beginning with the day on which this Order comes into force— a no notice to treat is to be served under Part 1 of the 1965 Act as applied to the acquisition of land by article 9 (application of Part 1 of the 1965 Act); and b no declaration is to be executed under section 4 (execution of declaration) of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 as applied by article 10 (application of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981) . PART 4 MISCELLANEOUS AND GENERAL Defence to proceedings in respect of statutory nuisance 17 1 Where proceedings are brought under section 82(1) (summary proceedings by person aggrieved by statutory nuisances) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to a nuisance falling within paragraph (g) of section 79(1) (noise emitted from premises so as to be prejudicial to health or a nuisance) of that Act no order is to be made, and no fine is to be imposed, under section 82(2) of that Act if the defendant shows— a that the nuisance relates to premises used by the promoter for the purposes of or in connection with the exercise of the powers conferred by this Order with respect to authorised works and that the nuisance is attributable to the carrying out of authorised works which are being carried out in accordance with a notice served under section 60 (control of noise on construction sites), or a consent given under section 61 (prior consent for work on construction sites) or 65 (noise exceeding registered level), of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 ; or b that the nuisance is a consequence of the operation of the authorised works and that it cannot reasonably be avoided. 2 The following provisions of the Control of Pollution Act 1974— a section 61(9) (consent for work on construction site to include statement that it does not of itself constitute a defence to proceedings under section 82 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990); and b section 65(8) (corresponding provision in relation to consent for registered noise level to be exceeded), do not apply where the consent relates to the use of premises by the promoter for the purposes of or in connection with the exercise of the powers conferred by this Order with respect to works. 3 The provisions of this article do not affect the application to the authorised works of section 122 of the Railways Act 1993 (statutory authority as a defence to actions in nuisance, etc.) or any rule of common law having similar effect. Application of the principal Act to authorised works 18 1 Schedule 4 (application of provisions of the principal Act) has effect. 2 So far as consistent with the provisions of this Order and the Transport and Works Act 1992 , and so far as any person exercising the powers conferred by this Order is a nominated undertaker for the purposes of any provision of the principal Act, this Order and the principal Act are to be construed as one. 3 Without limitation on the scope of paragraph (2), in determining any application or request by the promoter to any body for an approval or consent under the provisions of the principal Act (including those provisions as applied by this Order), that body must have regard (so far as is relevant) to the combined effect of the works authorised by this Order and the works authorised by the principal Act for the purposes of the construction of which the promoter is the nominated undertaker. Modification of provisions in an agreement relating to the protection of Network Rail 19 1 The promoter is bound by the obligations of the Secretary of State for Transport under the relevant agreement as if it had been a party to that agreement. 2 The modifications specified in paragraph (3) have effect with respect to the relevant agreement. 3 The modifications referred to in paragraph (2) are— a references to “Crossrail Works” in the relevant agreement include the authorised works; b references to “the powers in sections 5 to 9 of the Act” in the relevant agreement include references to the powers conferred by Part 3 of this Order. 4 In this article “the relevant agreement” means the agreement dated 9th October 2006 between the Secretary of State for Transport and Network Rail relating to protective provisions in respect of the Crossrail Project. Compliance with Crossrail Environmental Minimum Requirements 20 1 Any provisions of any development agreement requiring compliance with Crossrail Environmental Minimum Requirements apply to the promoter as if the authorised works were included in the works authorised by the principal Act. 2 In this article— a “development agreement” means an agreement to which the Secretary of State for Transport and the promoter are a party and under which the promoter has responsibilities in relation to the design, construction, financing or maintenance of Crossrail; and b “Crossrail Environmental Minimum Requirements” means the undertakings and assurances given to Parliament and petitioners by the Secretary of State for Transport during the passage of the principal Act through Parliament, specified in the Crossrail Register of Undertakings and Assurances published by the Department for Transport together with the Crossrail Planning and Heritage Memorandum, Construction Code and Environmental Memorandum. Power to lop trees overhanging the authorised works 21 1 The promoter may fell or lop any tree or shrub near any part of the authorised works, or cut back its roots, if it reasonably believes it to be necessary to do so to prevent the tree or shrub— a from obstructing or interfering with the construction, maintenance or operation of the authorised works or any apparatus used on the authorised works; or b from constituting a danger to passengers or other persons using the authorised works. 2 In exercising the powers conferred by paragraph (1), the promoter must not cause unnecessary damage to any tree or shrub and must pay compensation to any person for any loss or damage arising from the exercise of those powers. 3 Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (2), or as to the amount of compensation, is to be determined under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. Power to transfer undertaking 22 1 The promoter may, with the consent of the Secretary of State— a transfer to another person (“the transferee”) its right to construct, maintain, use or operate the authorised works (or any part of them) and such related statutory rights as may be agreed between the promoter and the transferee; or b grant to another person (“the lessee”) for a period agreed between the promoter and the lessee the right to construct, maintain, use or operate the authorised works (or any part of them) and such related statutory rights as may be so agreed. 2 Where an agreement has been made by virtue of paragraph (1) references in this Order to the promoter include references to the transferee or the lessee. 3 The exercise of the powers conferred by any enactment by any person in pursuance of any transfer or grant under paragraph (1) is subject to the same restrictions, liabilities and obligations as would apply under this Order if those powers were exercised by the promoter. Obstruction of construction of authorised works 23 Any person who, without reasonable excuse— a obstructs any person acting under the authority of the promoter in setting out the lines of the scheduled works or in constructing any authorised work; or b interferes with, moves or removes any apparatus belonging to any person acting under the authority of the promoter, is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. Disclosure of confidential information 24 A person who— a enters a factory, workshop or workplace in pursuance of the provisions of article 7 (power to survey and investigate land); and b discloses to any person any information obtained as a result of that entry and relating to any manufacturing process or trade secret, is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale unless the disclosure is made in the course of that person’s performance of a duty in connection with the purposes for which the person was authorised to enter the land. Certification of plans etc. 25 The promoter must, as soon as practicable after the making of this Order, submit copies of the book of reference, the works and land plans and the sections to the Secretary of State for certification that they are, respectively, true copies of the book of reference, the works and land plans and the sections referred to in this Order; and a document so certified is admissible in any proceedings as evidence of the contents of the document of which it is a copy. Service of notices 26 1 A notice or other document required or authorised to be served for the purposes of this Order may be served— a by post; or b with the consent of the recipient and subject to paragraphs (5) to (8) by electronic transmission. 2 Where the person on whom a notice or other document to be served for the purposes of this Order is a body corporate, the notice or document is duly served if it is served on the secretary or clerk of that body. 3 For the purposes of section 7 (references to service by post) of the Interpretation Act 1978 as it applies for the purposes of this article, the proper address of any person in relation to the service on that person of a notice or document under paragraph (1) is, if that person has given an address for service, that address, and otherwise— a in the case of the secretary or clerk of a body corporate, the registered or principal office of that body; and b in any other case, the last known address of that person at the time of service. 4 Where, for the purposes of this Order, a notice or other document is required or authorised to be served on a person as having any interest in, or as the occupier of, land and the name or address of that person cannot be ascertained after reasonable enquiry, the notice may be served by— a addressing it to that person by name or by the description of “owner”, or as the case may be “occupier”, of the land (describing it); and b either leaving it in the hands of a person who is or appears to be resident or employed on the land or leaving it conspicuously affixed to some building or object on or near the land. 5 Where a notice or other document required to be served or sent for the purposes of this Order is served or sent by electronic transmission the requirement is taken to be fulfilled where the recipient of the notice or other document to be transmitted has given consent to the use of electronic transmission either in writing or by electronic transmission. 6 Where the recipient of a notice or other document served or sent by electronic transmission notifies the sender within 7 days of receipt that the recipient requires a paper copy of all or any part of that notice or other document the sender must provide such a copy as soon as reasonably practicable. 7 Any consent to the use of electronic communication given by a person may be revoked by that person in accordance with paragraph (8). 8 Where a person is no longer willing to accept the use of electronic transmission for any of the purposes of this Order— a that person must give notice in writing or by electronic transmission revoking any consent given by that person for that purpose; and b such revocation is final and takes effect on a date specified by the person in the notice but that date must not be less than 7 days after the date on which the notice is given. 9 This article does not exclude the employment of any method of service not expressly provided for by it. No double recovery 27 Compensation is not payable in respect of the same matter both under this Order and under any other enactment, any contract or any rule of law. Arbitration 28 Any difference under any provision of this Order, unless otherwise provided for, must be referred to and settled by a single arbitrator to be agreed between the parties or, failing agreement, to be appointed on the application of either party (after giving notice in writing to the other) by the President of the Institution of Civil Engineers.
