may—acarry out the principal works, being the works set out in schedule 1 for the construction of a new bridge over the Firth of Forth (“the Forth Crossing”) and for the construction or improvement of associated roads and structures, andbcarry out and maintain the ancillary works, being—isuch works of the type described in schedule 2, andiisuch other works of any type,as Ministers consider necessary or expedient for the purposes of, in connection with, in consequence of or incidental to the carrying out of the principal works or the maintenance of those works under the 1984 Act.2The principal works and the ancillary works are together referred to in this Act as the “Forth Crossing works”.Bridge proportions2Ministers, when carrying out or maintaining the principal works, must ensure—athat the Forth Crossing provides headroom of not less than 47.85 metres above ordnance datum (Newlyn) between—iCentral Tower and the North Tower, andiiCentral Tower and the South Tower,bthat the Central Tower is located on Beamer Rock,cthat there is a clear span between the Central Tower and the North Tower which is not less than 580 metres,dthat there is a clear span between the Central Tower and the South Tower which is not less than 580 metres,ethat the height of the Central Tower does not exceed 220 metres above ordnance datum (Newlyn), andfthat the height of the North Tower and the South Tower does not exceed 210 metres above ordnance datum (Newlyn).Maximum construction height3Ministers, when carrying out or maintaining the principal works, may not operate above the maximum construction height without the consent of the airport operator of Edinburgh Airport.maximum construction height” means—for works associated with the Central Tower, 235 metres above ordnance datum (Newlyn), andfor works associated with the North Tower, the South Tower and any other part of the Forth Crossing, 225 metres above ordnance datum (Newlyn).Limits of deviation etc.41Subject to sections 2 and 3, Ministers, when carrying out or maintaining the principal works, may—adeviate laterally from the lines or situations shown on the Parliamentary plans to any extent within the limits of deviation, andbdeviate vertically from the levels shown on the Parliamentary sections to any extent upwards or downwards.2Ministers may carry out and maintain the ancillary works only within the Act limits.Bridge marking and lighting51Ministers must—aensure that the Forth Crossing is adequately marked and lit—iduring construction, andiiat all times after construction,bmaintain the marking and lighting in good working condition (for example, by acting as soon as reasonably practical to rectify any defects or failures which cause the marking and lighting to fall below that standard), andcimmediately notify the airport operator of Edinburgh Airport of any defect or failure in the marking or lighting which cause it to fall below that standard.2Ministers must consult the airport operator of Edinburgh Airport on the marking and lighting of the Forth Crossing—abefore construction of the Forth Crossing begins,bimmediately after construction of the Forth Crossing is complete,cbefore any of the marking or lighting is renewed or replaced (except where done so as an urgent repair or in accordance with routine maintenance), anddat other times as they think fit.3Ministers must comply with any reasonable request notified to them by the airport operator of Edinburgh Airport which—aconcerns the marking and lighting of the Forth Crossing,bis made in order to discharge an obligation on the operator which—iconcerns aviation security and safety, andiiarises by virtue of any enactment,cspecifies the enactment and any other relevant material by virtue of which the obligation arises, anddis not inconsistent with any other obligation on Ministers under any enactment.Interference with navigation61Ministers, when carrying out the Forth Crossing works, may interfere with a right of navigation in the Firth of Forth (within the Act limits) but only—ato the extent as may be required to carry out or maintain the Forth Crossing works, orbwhere the Forth Crossing works may endanger navigation.2The interference with navigation may consist of such steps as Ministers consider necessary, including—acontrolling navigation,btemporary closure of the Firth of Forth, or a part of it, to navigation,ccarrying out scour protection works,dconstruction of temporary structures,econstruction of facilities for temporary mooring or anchoring of barges and other vessels,fplacing, removing or maintaining buoys, beacons or other navigational warning apparatus.3Ministers must—aconsult the relevant navigation authority before interfering with a right of navigation, andbtake reasonable steps to secure that the minimum obstruction, delay or interference is caused to vessels using or intending to use the Firth of Forth.4Ministers are not liable for any loss arising (including any costs or expenses sustained) as a direct or indirect result of exercising their powers under this section.Dredging etc.71Ministers, when carrying out or maintaining the Forth Crossing works, may deepen, widen, dredge, scour, cleanse, alter, improve, or blast rock on any part of the bed of the Firth of Forth (within the limits of deviation).2Ministers may use, appropriate or dispose of anything removed in exercise of the power conferred by this section.Marine (Scotland) Act 20108No activity authorised by this Act constitutes a licensable marine activity for the purposes of Part 4 of the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010 (asp 5).Interference with railways9Ministers must—aconsult the relevant railway undertaker before beginning any ancillary works which they consider may interfere with a railway, andbconsider any representations by the undertaker on the carrying out of those works.Trees and shrubs101Ministers may cut down or lop, or cut back the roots of, any tree or shrub near any part of the Forth Crossing works where they consider that such action is reasonably necessary in order to prevent the tree or shrub from—aobstructing or otherwise interfering with the carrying out, maintenance or operation of the Forth Crossing works,bobstructing or otherwise interfering with any apparatus used in connection with the Forth Crossing works, orcconstituting a danger to persons carrying out or using the Forth Crossing works.2Ministers, when taking such action in relation to a tree or shrub, must make reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary damage to the tree or shrub.3Neither—aa tree preservation order made under section 160(1) of the 1997 Act, norbsection 172 of the 1997 Act,has effect in relation to anything Ministers do for the purposes of the Forth Crossing works in relation to a tree, group of trees or woodland. Part 2 RoadsSpecial roads111Ministers may designate any road or proposed road identified in schedule 3 (or any part of such a road) as a special road for the use by traffic falling within such classes set out in Schedule 3 to the 1984 Act as are specified in column (4) of schedule 3.2Ministers must—agive notice of a designation (and of the date from which it takes effect) to—ithe local authority for each area through which the road runs, andiithe navigation authority for any water which the road crosses, andbtake such steps as they consider reasonable to bring the designation, and the date from which it takes effect, to the attention of the public.3Ministers are to be treated for the purposes of the 1984 Act and all other enactments as having been authorised by a scheme under section 7 of the 1984 Act to provide a special road designated under this section (and are accordingly to be the “special roads authority” in relation to that road).4This section is, for the purposes of section 145 of the 1984 Act, to be treated as a scheme made under section 7 of the 1984 Act (and section 145 of the 1984 Act accordingly operates, with necessary modifications, to allow the repeal or other modification of this section).Trunk roads121Each proposed road identified in schedule 3 or 4 becomes a trunk road on the date this subsection comes into force.2A road identified in schedule 5 becomes a trunk road on such date as is determined by Ministers.3A road designated under section 11 as a special road which is not already a trunk road becomes a trunk road on the day it becomes a special road.4Ministers must—agive notice of a determination (and of the date from which it takes effect) to—ithe local authority for each area through which the road runs, andiithe navigation authority for any water which the road crosses, andbtake such steps as they consider reasonable to bring the determination, and the date from which it takes effect, to the attention of the public.5Section 112 of the 1984 Act applies (with any necessary modifications) where a road becomes a trunk road by virtue of subsection (2) or (3).6Nothing in this section prevents Ministers from detrunking a road which becomes a trunk road under this section (or any part of such a road) by making a subsequent order to that effect under section 5 of the 1984 Act.7In the definition of “trunk road” in section 151(1) of the 1984 Act, after “Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997” insert “ or by virtue of section 12 of the Forth Crossing Act 2011 (asp 2) ”.Roads to be transferred to local roads authorities131Ministers must, before beginning a work specified in column (3) of schedule 6—aconsult the relevant local roads authority listed in column (4) of schedule 6, andbconsider any representations by the authority on the carrying out of that work.2Each road identified in schedule 6 is transferred to the local roads authority listed for that road in column (4) of that schedule on its transfer date.3The transfer date for a road identified in schedule 6 is the next 1st April following the date on which Ministers notify the local roads authority that the road is opened for the purposes of through traffic.4Section 112 of the 1984 Act applies (with any necessary modifications) to the transfer of such a road to the local roads authority, whether or not the road in question is a trunk road.Stopping up of roads141Ministers may, when carrying out the Forth Crossing works, stop up each road identified in schedule 7.2A road identified in Part 2 of schedule 7 must not be stopped up unless—athe substitute for the road identified in column (5) of Part 2 of schedule 7 has been completed and is available for use, orba temporary alternative road is provided and is available for use.3Ministers may, without making any payment, appropriate and use for the purposes of the Forth Crossing works so much of a stopped up road as is bounded on both sides by land within the limits of deviation.4Ministers must, before stopping up any road, take such steps as they consider reasonable to bring the closure date, and any alternative road, to the attention of the public.5Where Ministers open a substitute road identified in column (5) of Part 2 of schedule 7, they must—anotify the local authority for each area through which the road runs, andbtake such steps as they consider reasonable to bring the opening, and the date from which it takes effect, to the attention of the public.Stopping up of means of access151Ministers may, when carrying out the Forth Crossing works, stop up each means of access to land identified in schedule 8.2A means of access identified in Part 2 of schedule 8 must not be stopped up unless—athe substitute for the means of access identified in column (5) of Part 2 of schedule 8 has been completed and is available for use, orba temporary alternative means of access is provided and is available for use.3Ministers must, before stopping up a means of access, take such steps as they consider reasonable to bring the closure date, and any alternative means of access, to the attention of the owner and occupier of the land.4Where subsection (2)(a) applies, Ministers must give the owner of the land containing the stopped up means of access notice when the substitute means of access is complete (a “completion notice”).5An owner may, within 28 days of a completion notice being given, object to Ministers on the ground that the substitute means of access is not completed.6On receipt of an objection, Ministers may—awithdraw a completion notice and carry out further works on the substitute means of access, orbrefer the dispute to the Lands Tribunal for determination (and notify the objector that it has been so referred).7Ministers must carry out reasonable maintenance of a substitute means of access for the 12 months after—athe date of the original or any re-issued completion notice, orbin the case of a dispute referred to the Lands Tribunal, the earlier of—ithe date of final Lands Tribunal decision, oriithe date of final settlement of the matter.Extinction of rights of way16All rights of way over any part of a road or means of access stopped up under section 14 or 15 are extinguished.Solum of stopped up road171The solum of a stopped up road is to vest—ain the owner of the land adjoining the stopped up road unless—iparagraph (b) applies, oriiit is subject to a prior claim of any person by reason of title,bin Ministers where they own, have served a notice to treat in relation to, or have made a general vesting declaration in relation to, any land adjoining the stopped up road.2Any dispute arising under this section as to the vesting of the solum may be referred on summary application by any interested party to the sheriff in whose sheriffdom the land is located; and the decision of the sheriff on the matter is final.Works in roads where Ministers are not the roads authority181This section applies to Forth Crossing works in a road for which Ministers are not the roads authority.2Ministers must—abefore commencing the works—iconsult the roads authority for that road,iiconsider any representations by the authority on the carrying out of the works, andbenter in the Scottish Road Works Register such information relating to the works and to their completion as would have been required under section 112B(5) and (6) of the 1991 Act had the works been carried out under section 2 of the 1984 Act.3The roads authority—adoes not acquire any right or liability in respect of the carrying out of the works, including rights or liabilities in respect of—iwork done, services rendered, goods delivered, or money due for payment, before the date of completion of the works,iidamages or compensation for any act or omission before that date, oriiithe price of, or compensation for, any land purchased, or for which a contract to purchase has been made, before that date,bmust produce to Ministers such documents and other information as Ministers may require relating to those rights and liabilities.4Any dispute between Ministers and the roads authority as to the rights and liabilities in respect of the carrying out of the works is to be resolved by arbitration.Access to public roads191Roads authority consent is not required for Forth Crossing works consisting of works to provide new, or to improve an existing, means of access to or from a public road.2Ministers must, before beginning any such works—aconsult the local roads authority for the public road, andbconsider any representations by the authority on the carrying out of those works.Application of the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984201Section 10 (certain special roads to be trunk roads) of the 1984 Act does not apply to the creation of a special road under this Act.2Part 3 (new roads) of the 1984 Act does not apply to the construction of roads as part of the Forth Crossing works.3Section 56 to 61A (control of works and excavations) of the 1984 Act do not apply to the Forth Crossing works.4Sections 103 to 111 (acquisition of land) of the 1984 Act do not apply to the acquisition of land for the Forth Crossing works. Part 3 LandIncorporation of enactments211The Lands Clauses Acts are incorporated with this Act, except sections 15, 16, 18, 20 to 60, 62 to 66, 83 to 88, 90, 116, 120 to 124 and 142 and 143 of the 1845 Lands Act.2Section 6, and sections 71 to 78 (as originally enacted), of the Railways Clauses Consolidation (Scotland) Act 1845 (c.33) are incorporated with this Act.3Provisions incorporated by this section apply only in so far as they are not inconsistent with, or expressly varied by, any provision of this Act.4In construing provisions incorporated by this section—athis Act is deemed to be the special Act,bMinisters are deemed to be the promoter of the undertaking or the company,cthe Forth Crossing works are deemed to be the works, the undertaking or the railway, anddland” has the same meaning as in this Act.5The Lands Clauses Acts, by virtue of subsection (4)(d), accordingly apply (subject to any necessary modifications) to the compulsory acquisition of a servitude or other right in or over land under this Act (whether by acquiring existing rights or creating new rights).Compulsory acquisition of land22Ministers may acquire compulsorily any land—awithin the limits of deviation, orbspecified in schedule 9,which they require for the purposes of the Forth Crossing works.Acquisition of land by agreement231Ministers may acquire by agreement any land—awhich may be acquired compulsorily under section 22,bwhich is to be used to mitigate any adverse effect arising from the carrying out or the operation of the Forth Crossing works, orcthe enjoyment of which will be seriously affected by the carrying out or the operation of the Forth Crossing works.This subsection does not affect any other power of Ministers to acquire the land concerned, or any other land, by agreement.2In the Land Compensation (Scotland) Act 1973 (c.56)—aat the end of section 24(6), insert “ or authorised by the Forth Crossing Act 2011 ”, andbat the end of section 25(5), insert “ or any works authorised by the Forth Crossing Act 2011 ”.Acquisition of servitudes and other rights241Ministers may acquire servitudes or other rights in land under section 22 or 23—aby acquiring existing servitudes or other rights, orbby creating new, permanent or temporary, servitudes or other rights.2Ministers, when compulsorily acquiring servitudes or other rights in or over land under section 22, are not required to acquire any other part of, or interest in, the land concerned.Extinction of real burdens and servitudes etc.25Where Ministers acquire land compulsorily under section 22 (and section 24 does not apply)—aany servitude or real burden over that land is extinguished, andbany development management scheme applying as respects that land is disapplied,on the registration of the relevant conveyance.Persons under a disability may grant servitudes, etc.26Any person who is entitled by section 7 of the 1845 Lands Act (as incorporated with this Act) to dispose of land may, for any purpose connected with this Act, create a new servitude or other right in relation to such land. But this section does not permit the creation of a servitude or other right in relation to water in which a person other than the creator has an interest.Registration of servitudes and other rights271A servitude or other right acquired by Ministers under this Act is to be treated for all purposes as benefiting—aany land held by Ministers for the purposes of the Forth Crossing works, orbsuch other land specified in the instrument creating the servitude or other right.2Despite section 75(1) of the Title Conditions (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp 9), the deed which creates a servitude so acquired is effective regardless of whether it is registered against the benefited property.Minerals28Any conveyance transferring land to Ministers in pursuance of a compulsory acquisition under section 22 is deemed to except all mines of coal, ironstone, slate, or other minerals under the land other than—aany parts of the mines or minerals which need to be—idug,iicarried away, oriiiused,in the carrying out of the Forth Crossing works, andbthose expressly specified in the conveyance transferring the land.Time limit for compulsory acquisition29Ministers' power to acquire land compulsorily under section 22 ceases to have effect 5 years after Royal Assent. This section does not apply to any land in respect of which a notice to treat is served, or a general vesting declaration is made, in pursuance of section 22 within 5 years of Royal Assent. Part 4 Taking title to land<Emphasis>Notice to treat procedure</Emphasis>Service of a notice to treat301This section applies where Ministers choose to acquire any land under this Act by serving a notice under section 17 of the 1845 Lands Act as incorporated with this Act (a “notice to treat”).2The notice to treat must—abe served in accordance with section 76,bdescribe the land to which the notice relates, andcidentify itself plainly as a document of importance.Partial acquisitions using notice to treat procedure311A person may, within 28 days of service of a notice to treat in respect of a partial acquisition, object to the partial acquisition.2An objection must—abe served on Ministers,bstate that the person is willing and able to sell to Ministers the whole of the house, building, factory or other land concerned, andcidentify the land that the person is so willing and able to sell.3Ministers must deal with an objection by—aagreeing to acquire the land identified in the objection by notifying the objector to that effect (in which case the notice to treat is deemed to cover the land identified in the objection, regardless of whether any of it is outwith the Act limits),bwithdrawing the notice to treat by notifying the objector to that effect, orcreferring the objection to the Lands Tribunal for determination under section 32 and notifying the objector that it has been so referred.4If Ministers fail to act under subsection (3) within 3 months of an objection being served, the notice to treat is to be treated as withdrawn.Severance disputes (notice to treat procedure): Lands Tribunal321The Lands Tribunal, on receiving a referral under section 31(3)(c), must consider—ain the case of a partial acquisition of a house, building or factory, if some or all of the land in the notice to treat (with or without some or all of the remainder of the land identified in the objection) can be acquired without material detriment to the remainder of the land identified in the objection,bin the case of a partial acquisition of a house with a park or garden, if some or all of the land in the notice to treat (with or without some or all of the remainder of the land identified in the objection) can be acquired without seriously affecting the amenity or convenience of the house.2If the Lands Tribunal determine—ain the case of a partial acquisition of a house, building or factory, that all of the land in the notice to treat can be acquired without material detriment to the remainder of the land identified in the objection, orbin the case of a partial acquisition of a house with a park or garden, that all of the land in the notice to treat can be acquired without seriously affecting the amenity or convenience of the house,the notice to treat is to have effect as originally served.3If the Lands Tribunal does not determine as described in subsection (2), it must determine the land which Ministers ought to acquire, being—asome of the land in the notice to treat, orbsome or all of the land in the notice to treat with the addition of some or all of the remainder of the land identified in the objection,and the notice to treat is deemed to cover that land (regardless of whether any of it is outwith the Act limits).4Ministers may withdraw a notice to treat within 6 weeks of a Lands Tribunal determination under subsection (3) by notifying the objector to that effect.Severance of agricultural land33Nothing in sections 31 or 32 affects the application of sections 49 and 50 of the Land Compensation (Scotland) Act 1973 (c.56) in relation to agricultural land.Notice to treat: time limit341A notice to treat served in pursuance of this Act becomes invalid 3 years (or such longer period as may be agreed under subsection (2)) after it is served, unless—athe compensation has been agreed, awarded, paid or paid into a bank (or the question of compensation has been referred to the Lands Tribunal),ba general vesting declaration has been

further extended) by agreement between—aMinisters, andbthe owner of the land.3Where a notice to treat is invalidated by this section, Ministers must give notice of that fact to—athe person on whom the notice to treat was served, andbany other person who, since it was served, could have made an agreement to extend under this section.<Emphasis>General vesting declarations</Emphasis>General vesting declarations351Ministers may vest in themselves by a general vesting declaration any land which they are authorised to acquire compulsorily under section 22.2Schedule 15 to the 1997 Act accordingly applies to the compulsory acquisition of land under section 22, with the following modifications—athis Act is to be treated as a compulsory purchase order,bMinisters are the “acquiring authority”,csection 36 of this Act applies instead of paragraph 2, anddin the definition of land in paragraph 39, “relevant enactments” means this Act.Duty to publicise general vesting declarations361Before making a general vesting declaration, Ministers must—apublish a compulsory purchase notice in one or more local newspapers circulating in the locality in which the land comprised in the general vesting declaration is situated,bserve a notice in the same or a similar form (together with a copy of this Act and the Parliamentary plans) on—ithe owner of the land to which the general vesting declaration relates,iiany occupier of that land (except tenants for any period of no longer than a month),iiithe holder of any real burden which would be extinguished under section 25 on the registration of the general vesting declaration, andivif a development management scheme applies to the land, the owners' association concerned.2A “compulsory purchase notice” means a notice in the form prescribed for notices under paragraph 6 of the First Schedule to the Acquisition of Land (Authorisation Procedure) (Scotland) Act 1947 (c.42) which—astates that this Act has received Royal Assent,bdescribes the land to which the general vesting declaration relates,cnames a place where a copy of this Act, of the Parliamentary plans and of the book of reference may be inspected at all reasonable hours,dstates the effect of paragraphs 1 to 8 of Schedule 15 to the 1997 Act in the manner prescribed for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(a) of paragraph 2 of Schedule 15 to the 1997 Act,

of, in connection with, or in consequence of, the works specified in respect of that land in column (5) of that schedule.2Ministers may remain in temporary possession of the land for—aup to one year after the day on which they consider that the works in relation to which they took possession of the land are completed, orbsuch longer period as may be agreed with the owner of the land.3Where the land is subject to a lease (including a sub-lease), the lease is terminated on the date on which Ministers first enter the land.Power to enter land for other purposes38Ministers may, for any purposes connected with this Act, enter any land in order to—asurvey the land,bcarry out archaeological or other investigations,ccarry out maintenance works under section 15(7),dprotect the Forth Crossing works, oreprotect or remove any flora or fauna, or to protect any building or other property, which may be affected by the carrying out of the Forth Crossing works.Advance entry on land to be acquired39Ministers may enter and take possession of any land (or any part of any land) in respect of which—aa notice to treat has been served in accordance with section 30, orba general vesting declaration has been served in accordance with paragraph 4 of Schedule 15 to the 1997 Act (as applied by section 35).Notice of entry401Ministers must give the owners and occupiers of land—aat least 28 days' notice of their intention to enter land under section 37 or 39,bat least 7 days' notice before first entering any land under section 38, andcat least 3 days' notice before any subsequent entry

which they enter under this Part as they think appropriate for the purpose for which they entered the land.2For example, Ministers may (if they think it appropriate)—alay, leave or remove equipment on the land,btake persons or vehicles onto the land,cremove buildings, apparatus and vegetation from the land,dconstruct temporary works (including the provision of means of access) and buildings on the land,estore and manufacture materials on the land,fsearch, bore or remove samples from the land in order to discover—ithe nature of the subsoil,iithe presence of minerals, oriiithe nature of any mining operations or other activity taking place beneath the surface.Duty to remedy damage etc.421Ministers must take all reasonably practicable steps—ato remove temporary works from land entered under section 37 or 38,bto remedy any damage they cause while on such land, andcto leave such land so entered as effectually secured against unauthorised entry as they found it.2But this section does not require Ministers to replace any building, apparatus or vegetation removed from the land.No power to enter homes43Nothing in section 37 or 38 authorises Ministers to enter any house or other building (excluding any garden or other land belonging to the house or other building) which is for the time being occupied as a residence.Warrants authorising entry441A sheriff or justice of the peace may by warrant authorise Ministers to exercise a right conferred by this Part, if necessary using reasonable force, in accordance with the warrant.2A warrant may be granted only if the sheriff or justice is satisfied, by evidence on oath—athat there are reasonable grounds for exercising the right in relation to the land concerned,bthat—ientry to the land has been refused,iisuch a refusal is reasonably expected,iiithe land is unoccupied, orivthe occupier is temporarily absent, andcexcept where the case is one of urgency, that Ministers have complied with the notice requirements imposed by section 40.3A warrant must not authorise the use of force against an individual.4A warrant expires—awhen it is no longer required for the purpose for which it is granted, orbif earlier, on the expiry of such period as may be specified in it.Obstruction451It is an offence intentionally to prevent or obstruct Ministers from doing anything which they are authorised to do by virtue of this Part.2Refusal to allow entry which is not authorised by warrant under section 44 does not constitute an offence under this section.3A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable, on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.Suspension of real burdens and servitudes etc.461Where Ministers take possession of land under section 37 or 39—aany servitude or real burden over that land is unenforceable, andbany development management scheme applying to the land is disapplied,for the period of possession.2Period of possession” means the period beginning when Ministers enter and take possession and ending—awhere temporary possession is taken under section 37, when Ministers give up temporary possession,bwhere possession is taken under section 39—ion the registration of the relevant conveyance, oriiwhere the notice to treat or general vesting declaration concerned is withdrawn or otherwise ceases to have effect. Part 6 CompensationLand Compensation (Scotland) Act 196347The application of the 1963 Act to the compulsory acquisition of land under section 22 is subject to the following modifications—athis Act is to be treated as a “special enactment” for the purposes of section 13(3)(a) of the 1963 Act,bsection 14 of the 1963 Act does not apply,cthis Act is to be treated as a “corresponding enactment” for the purposes of section 15(1) of the 1963 Act,dreferences in sections 22 and 23 of the 1963 Act to the date of service of the notice to treat are, where title to the land is to be taken by general vesting declaration, to be treated as references to the date on which the declaration is made,ethis Act is to be treated as an “enactment” for the purposes of section 22(4) of the 1963 Act, andfthe terms of this Act.Matters to be considered when assessing compensation48In assessing the compensation payable in respect of the compulsory acquisition of land under section 22, the Lands Tribunal must—ahave regard to the extent to which any remaining contiguous land belonging to the same person may be benefited by the purpose for which the land is authorised to be acquired,bwhere a road is widened as part of the Forth Crossing works, set off against the value of the land to be acquired any increase in the value of other land belonging to the same person which will accrue to him by reason of the creation of a frontage to the road as widened,ctake into account, and embody in its award, any undertaking given by Ministers as to the use to which the land, or any part of it, will be put.Matters to be ignored when assessing compensation491In assessing the compensation payable in respect of the compulsory acquisition of land under section 22, the Lands Tribunal must not take into account—aany interest in land, orbany land value enhancement,if it is satisfied that the interest in land was created, or that the work giving rise to the land value enhancement was carried out, for the purpose of obtaining compensation or increased compensation.2A “land value enhancement” is any enhancement of the value of an interest in land by reason of any construction, improvement, alteration or other work carried out on—athe land acquired, orbany other land with which the person to be compensated is, or was when the work was done, directly or indirectly concerned.Compensation: partial acquisition etc.501Compensation for a partial acquisition must include compensation for any loss sustained by the owner due to the severance of the house, building, factory or other land (in addition to the value of the interest to be acquired).2Where Ministers withdraw a notice to treat under section 32(4), the owner of the land which was subject to that notice is entitled to be compensated for any loss arising as a result of the giving and withdrawing of the notice (with any dispute about entitlement to, or amount of, such compensation to be determined by the Lands Tribunal).Compensation: servitudes and other rights511In assessing the compensation payable in respect of the acquisition or extinguishment of any servitude or other right in pursuance of this Act, account is to be taken of any new servitude or real burden created by Ministers for purposes connected with the Forth Crossing works.2Any person entitled to enforce a personal real burden immediately before it is extinguished in pursuance of this Act is entitled to compensation from Ministers for any loss arising as a result of the extinguishment.3Any dispute about—aa person's entitlement to such compensation, orbthe amount of such compensation,is to be determined by the Lands Tribunal in accordance with the 1963 Act as if it were a question of disputed compensation for the compulsory acquisition of land (and sections 8, 9, 11 and 12 of the 1963 Act accordingly have effect in relation to such a dispute so far as applicable and subject to any necessary modifications).Compensation: cutting down or lopping, or cutting back roots of, trees or shrubs521A person is entitled to compensation from Ministers for any loss arising as a result of Ministers taking action under section 10(1) in relation to a tree or shrub.2Any dispute about—aa person's entitlement to compensation, orbthe amount of the compensation,is to be determined by the Lands Tribunal in accordance with the 1963 Act as if it were a question of disputed compensation for the compulsory acquisition of land (and sections 8, 9, 11 and 12 of the 1963 Act accordingly have effect in relation to such a dispute so far as applicable and subject to any necessary modifications).Compensation: stopping up531A person with an interest in land is entitled to compensation from Ministers for any loss, or any disturbance in that person's enjoyment of such land, arising as a result of action taken by Ministers under section 14 or 15 in relation to that land.2Any dispute about—aa person's entitlement to compensation, orbthe amount of the compensation,is to be determined by the Lands Tribunal in accordance with the 1963 Act as if it were a question of disputed compensation for the compulsory acquisition of land (and sections 8, 9, 11 and 12 of the 1963 Act accordingly have effect in relation to such a dispute so far as applicable and subject to any necessary modifications).3In assessing the compensation payable under this section, account must be taken of any new road or means of access which is provided as an alternative to the road or means of access which is stopped up.Compensation: entering and using land temporarily541A person with an interest in land is entitled to compensation from Ministers for any loss, or any disturbance in that person's enjoyment of such land, arising as a result of—aMinisters entering land under section 37 or 38,bMinisters taking action under section 41 in pursuance of such entry, orcthe operation of section 37(3) or 46 in relation to that land.2Any dispute about—aa person's entitlement to compensation, orbthe amount of the compensation,is to be determined by the Lands Tribunal.3Such a dispute is, where temporary possession of land is taken under section 37, to be determined in accordance with the 1963 Act as if it were a question of disputed compensation for the compulsory acquisition of land (and sections 8, 9, 11 and 12 of the 1963 Act accordingly have effect in relation to such a dispute so far as applicable and subject to any necessary modifications).4In assessing such compensation, account must be taken of—athe fact that entry is taken for a temporary period only, andbwhether any action taken under section 41 will have a permanent or temporary effect.5Any compensation payable under this section does not affect liability to pay compensation for loss arising from the Forth Crossing works under—asection 6 of the Railways Clauses Consolidation (Scotland) Act 1845 (c.33) (as incorporated by section 21), orbany other enactment,but compensation is not payable for the same matter under this section and that other enactment.Compensation: advance entry551Where Ministers enter and take possession of land under section 39, compensation is payable—awhere the land is subject to a notice to treat, as if sections 83 to 89 of the 1845 Lands Act had applied and been complied with,bwhere the land is subject to a general vesting declaration, as if the land had already vested in Ministers.2Nothing in section 39 or this section affects a person's rights to advance payment under section 48 of the Land Compensation (Scotland) Act 1973 (c.56).Compensation where notice to treat becomes invalid561Where a notice to treat is invalidated under section 34, any person to whom notice is to be given under subsection (3) of that section is entitled to compensation from Ministers for any loss arising as a result of the giving of the notice and its invalidation.2Any dispute about—aa person's entitlement to compensation, orbthe amount of the compensation,is to be determined by the Lands Tribunal.3Interest is payable on any compensation due under this section, at the rate prescribed under section 40 of the 1963 Act, from the date on which the notice became invalid until the date of payment.

The provisions of the 1997 Act mentioned in subsection (1) accordingly have no effect in relation to such apparatus.Works for roads purposes58For the purposes of sections 142 to 144 of the 1991 Act—a“works for road purposes” include all Forth Crossing works falling within paragraphs (a) to (d) of the definition of that term in section 145 of the 1991 Act,b“major works for roads purposes” include all Forth Crossing works executed in relation to a road which consists of or includes a carriageway which fall within any of paragraphs (a) to (d), (f) and (g) of section 145(3) of the 1991 Act, andcreferences to the authority executing works are, where those works are Forth Crossing works, to be read as references to Ministers.Compensation for removal of water, gas, electricity or communications apparatus591An owner or occupier of premises supplied by apparatus removed in pursuance of section 57 is entitled to be compensated by Ministers in respect of reasonable costs incurred in connecting the premises to other apparatus from which a supply is given.2This section applies only in relation to apparatus of—aScottish Water,ba statutory undertaker (within the meaning of section 214 of the 1997 Act) who—iis a gas transporter (within the meaning of section 7(1) of the Gas Act 1986 (c.44)), oriiholds a licence granted under section 6 of the Electricity Act 1989 (c.29), orca public communications provider (within the meaning of section 151(1) of the Communications Act 2003 (c.21)).3This section does not apply where the apparatus removed is a public sewer.Compensation for removal of public sewer601An owner or occupier of premises with drains which communicated with a public sewer removed in pursuance of section 57 is entitled to be compensated by Ministers in respect of reasonable costs incurred—ain linking the drains with any other public sewer or a private sewage disposal plant, orbin constructing a private sewage disposal plant and linking the drains to that plant.2An owner of a private sewer which communicated with a public sewer removed in pursuance of section 57 is entitled to be compensated by Ministers in respect of reasonable costs incurred—ain linking the private sewer with any other public sewer or a private sewage disposal plan, orbin constructing a private sewage disposal plant and linking the private sewer to that plant.Apparatus in stopped up roads611A statutory undertaker (within the meaning of the 1984 Act)—ahas the same powers and rights as if this Act had not been enacted in respect of its apparatus which is under, in, on, over, along or across a road stopped up under section 14, andbalso has the power to—iremove any such apparatus and place it (or other equivalent apparatus) in such other position as the undertaker has power to place it, oriiplace other equivalent apparatus in such a position.2A statutory undertaker must exercise the power conferred by subsection (1)(b) if the owner of the land concerned reasonably requests it do so.3Section 144 of the 1991 Act and regulations under that section apply to measures taken under subsection (1)(b) as they apply to measures mentioned in section 144 (with references to the authority to be read as references to Ministers). Part 8 Planning permission, listed buildings and conservation areasPlanning permission621Planning permission for the carrying out of the Forth Crossing works is deemed to have been granted by Ministers on an application referred to them under section 46 of the 1997 Act.2That planning permission expires 5 years after Royal Assent if the Forth Crossing works are not begun during that period.3The 1997 Act (except section 58 and Part 11) and all other enactments relating to planning permission apply accordingly.Relaxation of listed building controls631Section 6 of the Listed Buildings Act does not apply to authorised listed building works.2A listed building enforcement notice served in relation to an affected listing building has no effect in so far as it requires the taking of steps which would be rendered wholly or substantially ineffective by authorised listed building works (and, accordingly, no such steps may be taken under section 38(1) of the Listed Buildings Act).3No works may be executed under section 49 of the Listed Buildings Act in relation to an affected listing building if those works would be rendered wholly or substantially ineffective by authorised listed building works.4Section 53 of the Listed Buildings Act does not apply to anything done for the purposes of carrying out authorised listed building works.5In this section—affected listed building” means—any listed building which was not such a building immediately before 1 January 2009, andthe buildings specified in the table in schedule 11 (each being a listed building immediately before that date), andauthorised listed building works” means—in relation to a listed building which was not such a building immediately before 1 January 2009, any works carried out in pursuance of this Act, andin relation to a listed building specified in the table in schedule 11, the works described in the third column of that table.Demolition in conservation areas64Section 66 of the Listed Buildings Act does not apply to the demolition in pursuance of this Act of a building which—ais included in a conservation area after 1 January 2009 (but was not so included immediately before that date), andbis not a listed building.Interpretation of Part 865In this Part, “the Listed Buildings Act” means the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 (c.9).
