Temporary possession of land Temporary use of land for construction of works 27 1 DLRL may, in connection with the carrying out of the authorised works— a enter upon and take temporary possession of— i the land specified in columns (1) and (2) of Schedule 9 to this Order and shown on the deposited plans as within the limits of land to be used temporarily, for the purpose specified in relation to that land in column (3) of that Schedule relating to the authorised works (or any of those works) so specified in column (4) of that Schedule; and ii any of the land within the Order limits in respect of which no notice of entry has been served under section 11 of the 1965 Act or no declaration has been made under section 4 of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981; b remove any buildings and vegetation from that land; and c construct temporary works (including the provision of means of access) and buildings on the land. 2 Not less than 14 days before entering upon and taking temporary possession of any land under this article DLRL shall serve notice of the intended entry on the owners and occupiers of the land. 3 DLRL may not, without the agreement of the owners of the land, remain in possession of any land of which temporary possession has been taken under this article— a in the case of land specified in columns (1) and (2) of Schedule 9 to this Order, after the end of the period of 2 years beginning with the date of completion of the work or works specified in relation to that land in column (4) of that Schedule; or b in the case of land within the Order limits, after the end of the period of 2 years beginning with the date of completion of the work or works for which temporary possession of the land was taken unless DLRL has, by the end of that period, served a notice of entry under section 11 of the 1965 Act or made a declaration under section 4 of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 in relation to that land. 4 Before giving up possession of land of which temporary possession has been taken under this article, DLRL shall remove all temporary works and restore the land to the reasonable satisfaction of the owners of the land; but DLRL shall not be required to replace a building removed under this article. 5 DLRL shall pay compensation to the owners and occupiers of land of which temporary possession is taken under this article for any loss or damage arising from the exercise in relation to the land of the powers conferred by this article. 6 Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (5) above, or as to the amount of the compensation, shall be determined under Part I of the 1961 Act. 7 Without prejudice to article 47 below, nothing in this article shall affect any liability to pay compensation under section 10(2) of the 1965 Act or under any other enactment in respect of loss or damage arising from the execution of any works, other than loss or damage for which compensation is payable under paragraph (5) above. 8 Where DLRL takes possession of any land under this article, it shall not be required to acquire the land or any interest in it. 9 In this article and article 28 below “building” includes structure or any other erection. Temporary use of land for maintenance of works 28 1 At any time during the maintenance period relating to any of the scheduled works, DLRL may— a enter upon and take temporary possession of any land within the limits of deviation and lying within 20 metres from that work if such possession is reasonably required for the purpose of, or in connection with, maintaining the work or any ancillary works connected with it or securing the safe operation of any such work; b construct such temporary works (including the provision of means of access) and buildings on the land as may be reasonably necessary for that purpose. 2 Paragraph (1) above shall not authorise DLRL to take temporary possession of— a any house or garden belonging to a house; or b any building (other than a house) if it is for the time being occupied. 3 Not less than 28 days before entering upon and taking temporary possession of land under this article DLRL shall serve notice of the intended entry on the owners and occupiers of the land. 4 DLRL may only remain in possession of land under this article for so long as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the maintenance works for which possession of the land was taken. 5 Before giving up possession of land of which temporary possession has been taken under this article, DLRL shall remove all temporary works and restore the land to the reasonable satisfaction of the owners of the land. 6 DLRL shall pay compensation to the owners and occupiers of land of which temporary possession is taken under this article for any loss or damage arising from the exercise in relation to the land of the powers conferred by this article. 7 Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (6) above, or as to the amount of the compensation, shall be determined under Part I of the 1961 Act. 8 Without prejudice to article 47 below, nothing in this article shall affect any liability to pay compensation under section 10(2) of the 1965 Act or under any other enactment in respect of loss or damage arising from the execution of any works, other than loss or damage for which compensation is payable under paragraph (6) above. 9 Where DLRL takes possession of land under this article, it shall not be required to acquire the land or any interest in it. 10 In this article— a “the maintenance period”, in relation to a scheduled work, means the period of 5 years beginning with the date on which the work is opened for use; and b any reference to land within a specified distance of a work includes, in the case of a work under the surface of the ground, a reference to land within the specified distance of the point on the surface below which the work is situated. Compensation Disregard of certain interests and improvements 29 1 In assessing the compensation (if any) payable to any person on the acquisition from him of any land under this Order, the tribunal shall 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) above “relevant land” means the land acquired from the person concerned or any other land with which he is, or was at the time when the building was erected, the works executed or the improvement or alteration made, directly or indirectly concerned. Supplementary Acquisition of part of certain properties 30 1 This article shall apply instead of section 8(1) of the 1965 Act (as applied by article 21 above) in any case where— a a notice to treat is served on a person (“the owner”) under the 1965 Act (as so applied) in respect of land forming only part of a house, building or factory 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 DLRL a counter-notice objecting to the sale of the land subject to the notice to treat and stating that he 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 shall be required to 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 shall be required to sell only the land subject to the notice to treat shall, unless DLRL agrees to take the land subject to the counter-notice, 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 shall be required to 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 shall be 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 shall be 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 DLRL is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order. 8 If DLRL 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 shall be 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 DLRL 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, DLRL 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, shall pay to the owner compensation for any loss or expense occasioned to him 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 factory or of land consisting of a house with a park or garden, DLRL shall pay him compensation for any loss sustained by him due to the severance of that part in addition to the value of the interest acquired. Extinction or suspension of private rights of way 31 1 Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights of way over land subject to compulsory acquisition under this Order shall be extinguished— a as from the acquisition of the land by DLRL, whether compulsorily or by agreement; or b on the entry on the land by DLRL under section 11(1) of the 1965 Act, whichever is sooner. 2 Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights of way over land owned by DLRL which is within the limits of land which may be acquired shown on the deposited plans and is required for the purposes of this Order, shall be extinguished on the appropriation of the land for any of those purposes by DLRL. 3 Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights of way over land of which DLRL takes temporary possession under this Order shall be suspended and unenforceable for as long as DLRL remains in lawful possession of the land. 4 Any person who suffers loss by the extinguishment or suspension of any private right of way under this article shall be entitled to compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part I of the 1961 Act. 5 This article does not apply in relation to any right of way to which section 271 or 272 of the 1990 Act (extinguishment of rights of statutory undertakers etc.) or paragraph 2 of Schedule 10 to this Order applies. 6 Paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) above shall have effect subject to— a any notice given by DLRL before the completion of the acquisition of the land, DLRL’s appropriation of it, DLRL’s entry onto it or DLRL’s taking temporary possession of it, as the case may be, that any or all of those paragraphs shall not apply to any right of way specified in the notice; and b any agreement made (whether before or after any of the events mentioned in sub-paragraph (a) above and before or after the coming into force of this Order) between DLRL and the person in or to whom the right of way in question is vested or belongs. 7 If any such agreement as is referred to in paragraph (6)(b) above which is made with a person in or to whom the right of way is vested or belongs is expressed to have effect also for the benefit of those deriving title from or under him, it shall be effective in respect of the persons so deriving title, whether the title was derived before or after the making of the agreement. Time limit for exercise of powers of acquisition 32 1 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 shall be served under Part I of the 1965 Act, as applied to the acquisition of land under article 21 above; and b no declaration shall be executed under section 4 of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981, as applied by article 22 above. 2 The power conferred by article 27 above to enter upon and take temporary possession of land shall cease at the end of the period mentioned in paragraph (1) above; but this paragraph shall not prevent DLRL from remaining in possession of land in accordance with article 27 above after the end of that period, if the land was entered and possession of it was taken before the end of that period. PART IV OPERATION OF AUTHORISED WORKS Maintenance of approved works, etc. 33 1 Where pursuant to regulations made under section 41 of the 1992 Act (approval of works, plant and equipment) approval has been obtained from the Health and Safety Executive with respect to any works, plant or equipment (including vehicles) forming part of the authorised works, such works, plant and equipment shall not be used in a state or condition other than that in which they were at the time that the approval was given unless any change thereto does not materially impair the safe operation of the authorised works. 2 If without reasonable cause the provisions of paragraph (1) above are contravened, DLRL shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. 3 No proceedings shall be instituted in England and Wales in respect of an offence under this article except by or with the consent of the Health and Safety Executive or the Director of Public Prosecutions. Power to lop trees overhanging authorised works 34 1 DLRL 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 for the purposes of the authorised works; or b from constituting a danger to passengers or other persons using the authorised works. 2 In exercising the powers in paragraph (1) above, DLRL shall do no unnecessary damage to any tree or shrub and shall pay compensation to any person for any loss or damage arising from the exercise of those powers. 3 Nothing in this article shall be taken to affect the application of any tree preservation order made under section 198 of the 1990 Act. 4 Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (2) above, or as to the amount of the compensation, shall be determined under Part I of the 1961 Act. Trespass on authorised railway 35 1 Any person who— a trespasses on the authorised railway; or b trespasses upon any land of DLRL in dangerous proximity to the authorised railway or to any electrical or other apparatus used for or in connection with the operation of the authorised railway, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. 2 No person shall be convicted of an offence under this article unless it is shown that a notice warning the public not to trespass upon the authorised railway was clearly exhibited and maintained at the station on the authorised railway nearest the place where the offence is alleged to have been committed. PART V PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS Statutory undertakers, etc. 36 The provisions of Schedule 10 to this Order shall have effect.

PART VI MISCELLANEOUS AND GENERAL Powers of disposal, agreements for operation, etc. 41 1 DLRL may, with the consent of the Secretary of State sell, lease, charge or otherwise dispose of, on such terms and conditions as it thinks fit, the whole or any part of the authorised works and any land held in connection therewith. 2 Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (1) above, DLRL may enter into and carry into effect agreements with respect to any of the following matters, namely, the construction, maintenance, use and operation of the authorised works, or any part or parts of them, by any other person, and other matters incidental or subsidiary thereto or consequential thereon, and the defraying of, or the making of contributions towards, the cost of the matters aforesaid by DLRL or any other person. 3 Any agreement under subsection (2) above may provide (inter alia) for the exercise of the powers of DLRL in respect of the authorised works or any part or parts thereof, and for the transfer to any person of the authorised works or any part or parts thereof together with the rights and obligations of DLRL in relation thereto. 4 The exercise of the powers of any enactment by any person in pursuance of any sale, lease, charge or disposal under paragraph (1) above, or any agreement under paragraph (2) above, shall be subject to the same restrictions, liabilities and obligations as would apply under this Order if those powers were exercised by DLRL. 5 Section 163 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 shall not apply to the disposal of any freehold interest in land or the grant of a leasehold interest in land where consent for such disposal or grant is required under paragraph (1) above. Application of landlord and tenant law 42 1 This article applies to any agreement for leasing to any person the whole or any part of the authorised works or the right to operate the same, and any agreement entered into by DLRL with any person for the construction, maintenance, use or operation of the authorised works, or any part of them, so far as any such agreement relates to the terms on which any land which is the subject of a lease granted by or under that agreement is to be provided for that person’s use. 2 No enactment or rule of law regulating the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants shall prejudice the operation of any agreement to which this article applies. 3 Accordingly no such enactment or rule of law shall apply in relation to the rights and obligations of the parties to any lease granted by or under any such agreement so as to— a exclude or in any respect modify any of the rights and obligations of those parties under the terms of the lease, whether with respect to the termination of the tenancy or any other matter; b confer or impose on any such party any right or obligation arising out of or connected with anything done or omitted on or in relation to land which is the subject of the lease, in addition to any such right or obligation provided for by the terms of the lease; or c restrict the enforcement (whether by action for damages or otherwise) by any party to the lease of any obligation of any other party under the lease. Defence to proceedings in respect of statutory nuisance 43 1 Where proceedings are brought under section 82(1) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (summary proceedings by person aggrieved by statutory nuisance) in relation to a nuisance falling within paragraph (g) of section 79(1) of that Act (noise emitted from premises so as to be prejudicial to health or a nuisance) no order shall be made, and no fine may be imposed, under section 82(2) of that Act if the defendant shows— a that the nuisance relates to premises used by DLRL for the purposes of or in connection with the exercise of the powers conferred by this Order with respect to works and that the nuisance is attributable to the carrying out of works which are being carried out in accordance with a notice served under section 60, or a consent given under section 61 or 65, of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 ; or b that the nuisance is a consequence of the operation of the works authorised by this Order and that it cannot reasonably be avoided. 2 The following provisions of the Control of Pollution Act 1974, namely— 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); shall not apply where the consent relates to the use of premises by DLRL 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 are without prejudice to 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. Disclosure of confidential information 44 A person who— a enters a factory, workshop or workplace in pursuance of the provisions of article 16 or article 18 above; and b discloses to any person any information obtained by him relating to any manufacturing process or trade secret; shall be 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 performing his duty in connection with the purposes for which he was authorised to enter the land. Certification of plans, etc. 45 DLRL shall, as soon as practicable after the making of this Order, submit copies of the book of reference, the deposited plans and the deposited sections to the Secretary of State for certification that they are true copies of, respectively, the book of reference, plans and sections referred to in this Order; and a document so certified shall be admissible in any proceedings as evidence of the contents of the document of which it is a copy. Service of notices 46 1 A notice or other document required or authorised to be served for the purposes of this Order may be served by post. 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 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 him of a notice or document under paragraph (1) above is, if he 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, his last known address 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 his name or address cannot be ascertained after reasonable enquiry, the notice may be served by— a addressing it to him 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 This article shall not be taken to exclude the employment of any method of service not expressly provided for by it.
