Compulsory acquisition of rights 18 1 Subject to paragraph , the undertaker may acquire compulsorily such rights or impose restrictive covenants over the Order land as may be required for any purpose for which that land may be acquired under article 16 (compulsory acquisition of land), by creating them as well as by acquiring rights already in existence. 2 Subject to the provisions of this paragraph, article 19 (private rights) and article 26 (statutory undertakers), in the case of the Order land specified in column (1) of Schedule 5 (land in which only new rights etc. may be acquired) the undertaker's powers of compulsory acquisition are limited to the acquisition of such new rights and the imposition of restrictive covenants for the purpose specified in relation to that land in column (2) of that Schedule. 3 Subject to section 8 (other provisions as to divided land) and Schedule 2A (counter-notice requiring purchase of land) of the 1965 Act (as substituted by paragraph of Schedule 6 (modification of compensation and compulsory purchase enactments for the creation of new rights and imposition of new restrictive covenants), where the undertaker creates or acquires an existing right over land or the benefit of a restrictive covenant under paragraph (1) or (2), the undertaker is not required to acquire a greater interest in that land. 4 Schedule 6 (modification of compensation and compulsory purchase enactments for creation of new rights and imposition of new restrictive covenants) 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 of a right over land by the creation of a new right or the imposition of restrictive covenants. 5 In any case where the acquisition of new rights or imposition of a restriction under paragraph (1) or is required for the purpose of diverting, replacing or protecting apparatus of a statutory undertaker, the undertaker may, with the consent of the Secretary of State, transfer the power to acquire such rights to the statutory undertaker in question. 6 The exercise by a statutory undertaker of any power in accordance with a transfer under paragraph is subject to the same restrictions, liabilities and obligations as would apply under this Order if that power were exercised by the undertaker. Private rights 19 1 Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights or restrictive covenants over land subject to compulsory acquisition under article 16 (compulsory acquisition of land) cease to have effect in so far as their continuance would be inconsistent with the exercise of the powers under article 16 (compulsory acquisition of land)— a as from the date of acquisition of the land by the undertaker, whether compulsorily or by agreement; or b on the date of entry on the land by the undertaker under section 11(1) (power of entry) of the 1965 Act, whichever is the earliest. 2 Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights or restrictive covenants over land subject to the compulsory acquisition of rights or the imposition of restrictive covenants under article 18 (compulsory acquisition of rights) cease to have effect in so far as their continuance would be inconsistent with the exercise of the right or compliance with the restrictive covenant— a as from the date of the acquisition of the right or the imposition of the restrictive covenant by the undertaker (whether the right is acquired compulsorily, by agreement or through the grant of lease of the land by agreement); or b on the date of entry on the land by the undertaker under section 11(1) of the 1965 Act (power of entry) in pursuance of the right, whichever is the earliest. 3 Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights or restrictive covenants over land of which the undertaker takes temporary possession under this Order are suspended and unenforceable, in so far as their continuance would be inconsistent with the purpose for which temporary possession is taken, for as long as the undertaker remains in lawful possession of the land. 4 Any person who suffers loss by the extinguishment or suspension of any private right or restrictive covenant under this article is entitled to compensation in accordance with the terms of section 152 of the 2008 Act to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. 5 This article does not apply in relation to any right to which section 138 (extinguishment of rights, and removal of apparatus, of statutory undertakers etc.) of the 2008 Act or article 26 (statutory undertakers) applies. 6 Paragraphs (1) to have effect subject to— a any notice given by the undertaker before— i the completion of the acquisition of the land or the acquisition of rights or the imposition of restrictive covenants over or affecting the land; ii the undertaker's appropriation of the land; iii the undertaker's entry onto the land; or iv the undertaker's taking temporary possession of the land, that any or all of those paragraphs do not apply to any right specified in the notice; or b any agreement made at any time between the undertaker and the person in or to whom the right in question is vested or belongs. 7 If an agreement referred to in paragraph — a is made with a person in or to whom the right is vested or belongs; and b is expressed to have effect also for the benefit of those deriving title from or under that person, the agreement is effective in respect of the persons so deriving title, whether the title was derived before or after the making of the agreement. 8 Reference in this article to private rights over land includes reference to any trusts or incidents to which the land is subject. Application of the 1981 Act 20 1 The 1981 Act applies as if this Order were a compulsory purchase order. 2 The 1981 Act, as applied by paragraph (1), has effect with the following modifications. 3 In section 1 (application of Act), for subsection 2 substitute— 2 This section applies to any Minister, any local or other public authority or any other body or person authorised to acquire land by means of a compulsory purchase order. . 4 In section 5(2) (earliest date for execution of declaration) omit the words from “and this subsection” to the end. 5 Section 5A (time limit for general vesting declaration) is omitted . 6 In section 5B(1) (extension of time limit during challenge) for “section 23 (application to High Court in respect of compulsory purchase order) of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981, the three year period mentioned in section 5A” substitute “ section 118 (legal challenges relating to applications for orders granting development consent) of the 2008 Act, the five year period mentioned in article 17 (time limit for exercise of authority to acquire land compulsorily) of the Cleve Hill Solar Park Order 2020. ” . 7 In section 6 (notices after execution of declaration), in subsection (1)(b) for “section 15 of, or paragraph 6 of Schedule 1 to, the Acquisition of Land Act 1981” substitute “ section 134 (notice of authorisation of compulsory acquisition) of the Planning Act 2008 ” . 8 In section 7 (constructive notice to treat), in subsection (1)(a), omit the words “(as modified by section 4 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981)”. 9 In Schedule A1 (counter-notice requiring purchase of land not in general vesting declaration), for paragraph 1(2) substitute— 2 But see article 21(3) (acquisition of subsoil only) of the Cleve Hill Solar Park Order 2020, which excludes the acquisition of subsoil only from this Schedule. . 10 References to the 1965 Act in the 1981 Act must be construed as references to the 1965 Act as applied by section 125 (application of compulsory acquisition provisions) of the 2008 Act (and as modified by article 22 (modification of Part 1 of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965) to the compulsory acquisition of land under this Order.

Temporary use of land for carrying out the authorised development 24 1 The undertaker may, in connection with the carrying out of the authorised development— a enter on and take temporary possession of any of the Order land in respect of which no notice of entry has been served under section 11 (powers of entry) of the 1965 Act (other than in connection with the acquisition of rights only) and no declaration has been made under section 4 (execution of declaration) of the 1981 Act; b remove any buildings, agricultural plant and apparatus, drainage, fences, debris and vegetation from that land; c construct temporary works, haul roads, security fencing, bridges, structures and buildings on that land; d use the land for the purposes of a temporary working site with access to the working site in connection with the authorised development; e construct any works, on that land as are mentioned in Part 1 of Schedule 1 (authorised development); and f carry out mitigation works required pursuant to the requirements in Schedule 1. 2 Not less than 14 days before entering on and taking temporary possession of land under this article the undertaker must serve notice of the intended entry on the owners and occupiers of the land. 3 The undertaker must not remain in possession of any land under this article for longer than reasonably necessary and in any event must not, without the agreement of the owners of the land, remain in possession of any land under this article after the end of the period of one year beginning with the date of completion of the part of the authorised development for which temporary possession of the land was taken unless the undertaker has, before 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 1981 Act in relation to that land. 4 Unless the undertaker has served notice of entry under section 11 of the 1965 Act or made a declaration under section 4 of the 1981 Act or otherwise acquired the land or rights over land subject to temporary possession, the undertaker must before giving up possession of land of which temporary possession has been taken under this article, remove all works and restore the land to the reasonable satisfaction of the owners of the land; but the undertaker is not required to— a replace any building, structure, drain or electric line removed under this article; b remove any drainage works installed by the undertaker under this article; c remove any new road surface or other improvements carried out under this article to any street specified in Schedule 2 (streets subject to street works); or d restore the land on which any works have been carried out under paragraph insofar as the works relate to mitigation works identified in the environmental statement or required pursuant to the requirements in Schedule 1. 5 The undertaker must pay compensation to the owners and occupiers of land which temporary possession is taken under this article for any loss or damage arising from the exercise in relation to the land of the provisions of any power conferred by this article. 6 Any dispute as to a person's entitlement to compensation under paragraph , or as to the amount of the compensation, must be determined under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act. 7 Nothing in this article affects any liability to pay compensation under section 152 (compensation in case where no right to claim in nuisance) of the 2008 Act or under any other enactment in respect of loss or damage arising from the carrying out of the authorised development, other than loss or damage for which compensation is payable under paragraph . 8 Where the undertaker takes possession of land under this article, the undertaker is not required to acquire the land or any interest in it. 9 Section 13 (refusal to give possession to acquiring authority) of the 1965 Act applies to the temporary use of land pursuant to this article to the same extent as it applies to the compulsory acquisition of land under this Order by virtue of section 125 (application of compulsory acquisition provisions) of the 2008 Act. Temporary use of land for maintaining authorised development 25 1 Subject to paragraph , at any time during the maintenance period (as defined in paragraph (11)) relating to any part of the authorised development, the undertaker may— a enter on and take temporary possession of any land within the Order land if such possession is reasonably required for the purpose of maintaining the authorised development; and b construct such temporary works and buildings on the land as may be reasonably necessary for that purpose. 2 Paragraph (1) does not authorise the undertaker 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 on and taking temporary possession of land under this article the undertaker must serve notice of the intended entry on the owners and occupiers of the land. 4 The undertaker may only remain in possession of land under this article for so long as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the maintenance of the part of the authorised development 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, the undertaker must remove all temporary works and restore the land to the reasonable satisfaction of the owners of the land. 6 The undertaker must 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 provisions of this article. 7 Any dispute as to a person's entitlement to compensation under paragraph , or as to the amount of the compensation, must be determined under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act. 8 Nothing in this article affects any liability to pay compensation under section 152 of the 2008 Act (compensation in case where no right to claim in nuisance) or under any other enactment in respect of loss or damage arising from the maintenance of the authorised development, other than loss or damage for which compensation is payable under paragraph . 9 Where the undertaker takes possession of land under this article, the undertaker is not required to acquire the land or any interest in it. 10 Section 13 (refusal to give possession to acquiring authority) of the 1965 Act applies to the temporary use of land pursuant to this article to the same extent as it applies to the compulsory acquisition of land under this Order by virtue of section 125 (application of compulsory acquisition provisions) of the 2008 Act. 11 In this article “ the maintenance period ” means the period of 5 years beginning with the date on which a phase of the authorised development first exports electricity to the national electricity transmission network.

Recovery of costs of new connections 27 1 Where any apparatus of a public utility undertaker or of a public communications provider is removed under article 26 (statutory undertakers) any person who is the owner or occupier of premises to which a supply was given from that apparatus is entitled to recover from the undertaker compensation in respect of expenditure reasonably incurred by that person, in consequence of the removal, for the purpose of effecting a connection between the premises and any other apparatus from which a supply is given. 2 Paragraph (1) does not apply in the case of the removal of a public sewer but where such a sewer is removed under article 26 (statutory undertakers), any person who is— a the owner or occupier of premises the drains of which communicated with that sewer; or b the owner of a private sewer which communicated with that sewer, is entitled to recover from the undertaker compensation in respect of expenditure reasonably incurred by that person, in consequence of the removal, for the purpose of making the drain or sewer belonging to that person communicate with any other public sewer or with a private sewerage disposal plant. 3 This article does not have effect in relation to apparatus to which Part 3 (street works in England and Wales) of the 1991 Act applies. 4 In this article— “public communications provider” has the same meaning as in section 151(1) (interpretation of Chapter 1) of the Communications Act 2003 ; and “public utility undertaker” has the same meaning as in the 1980 Act. PART 6 OPERATIONS Operation of generating stations 28 1 The undertaker is authorised to use and operate the generating stations comprised in the authorised development. 2 This article does not relieve the undertaker of any requirement to obtain any permit or licence under any other legislation that may be required from time to time to authorise the operation of an electricity generating station. Deemed marine licence under the 2009 Act 29 The deemed marine licence set out in Schedule 8 (deemed marine licence under the 2009 Act), is deemed to be granted on the date this Order comes into force to the undertaker under Part 4 (marine licensing) of the 2009 Act for the licensed marine activities set out in Part 1, and subject to the conditions set out in Part 2 of that Schedule. PART 7 MISCELLANEOUS AND GENERAL Application of landlord and tenant law 30 1 This article applies to— a any agreement for leasing to any person the whole or any part of the authorised development or the right to operate the same; and b any agreement entered into by the undertaker with any person for the construction, maintenance, use or operation of the authorised development, or any part of it, 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 may prejudice the operation of any agreement to which this article applies. 3 Accordingly, no such enactment or rule of law to which paragraph applies 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. Operational land for purposes of the 1990 Act 31 Development consent granted by this Order is treated as specific planning permission for the purposes of section 264(3)(a) (cases in which land is to be treated as operational land for the purposes of that Act) of the 1990 Act. Felling or lopping of trees 32 1 The undertaker may fell or lop any tree or shrub near any part of the authorised development, or cut back its roots, if it reasonably believes it to be necessary to do so to prevent the tree or shrub from obstructing or interfering with the construction, maintenance or operation of the authorised development or any apparatus used in connection with the authorised development. 2 In carrying out any activity authorised by paragraph (1), the undertaker must not do any unnecessary damage to any tree or shrub and must pay compensation to any person for any loss or damage arising from such activity. 3 Any dispute as to a person's entitlement to compensation under paragraph , or as to the amount of compensation, must be determined under Part 1 of the 1961 Act.

Certification of plans and documents, etc. 34 1 The undertaker must, as soon as practicable after the making of this Order, submit to the Secretary of State copies of— a the book of reference; b the Crown land plan; c the environmental statement; d the land plans; e the location, order limits and grid coordinates plans; f the outline battery safety management plan; g the outline construction environmental management plan; h the outline decommissioning and restoration plan; i the outline design principles; j the outline landscape and biodiversity management plan; k the outline special protection area construction noise management plan; l outline skills, supply chain and employment plan; m the outline written scheme of investigation; n the rights of way plan; o the special category land plan – open space; p the statutory / non-statutory nature conservation designations plan; q the statutory / non-statutory historic environment designations plan; r the streets and access plan; s the water bodies in a river basin management plan , plan ; and t the works plan; for certification that they are true copies of those plans and documents. 2 A plan or document so certified is admissible in any proceedings as evidence of the contents of the document of which it is a copy.

Crown rights 37 1 Nothing in this Order affects prejudicially any estate, right, power, privilege, authority or exemption of the Crown and in particular, nothing in this Order authorises the undertaker or any licensee to take possession of, use, enter upon or in any manner interfere with any land or rights of any description (including any portion of the shore or bed of the sea or any river, channel, creek, bay or estuary)— a belonging to Her Majesty in right of the Crown and forming part of the Crown Estate without the consent in writing of the Crown Estate Commissioners; b belonging to Her Majesty in right of the Crown and not forming part of the Crown Estate without the consent in writing of the government department having the management of that land; or c belonging to a government department or held in trust for Her Majesty for the purposes of a government department without the consent in writing of that government department. 2 Paragraph (1) does not apply to the exercise of any right under this Order for the compulsory acquisition of an interest in any Crown land (as defined in the 2008 Act) which is for the time being held otherwise than by or on behalf of the Crown. 3 A consent under paragraph (1) may be given unconditionally or subject to terms and conditions and is deemed to have been given in writing where it is sent electronically. Protective provisions 38 Schedule 7 (protective provisions) has effect. Funding 39 1 The undertaker must not exercise the powers conferred by the provisions referred to in paragraph in relation to any Order land unless it has first put in place either— a a guarantee and the amount of that guarantee approved by the Secretary of State in respect of the liabilities of the undertaker to pay compensation pursuant to the provisions referred to in paragraph (2) in relation to that land ; or b an alternative form of security and the amount of that security for that purpose approved by the Secretary of State in respect of the liabilities of the undertaker to pay compensation pursuant to the provisions referred to in paragraph (2) in relation to that land . 2 The provisions are— a article 16 (compulsory acquisition of land); b article 18 (compulsory acquisition of rights); c article 19 (private rights); d article 21 (acquisition of subsoil only); e article 23 (rights under or over streets); f article 24 (temporary use of land for carrying out the authorised development); g article 25 (temporary use of land for maintaining the authorised development); and h article 26 (statutory undertakers). 3 A guarantee or alternative form of security given in respect of any liability of the undertaker to pay compensation pursuant to the provisions referred to in paragraph (2) is to be treated as enforceable against the guarantor or person providing the alternative form of security by any person to whom such compensation is payable and must be in such a form as to be capable of enforcement by such a person. 4 Nothing in this article requires a guarantee or alternative form of security to be in place for more than 15 years after the date on which the relevant power is exercised.
