(1)This section applies where land is acquired, or proposed to be acquired—
(a)in pursuance of a compulsory purchase order, or
(b)by agreement for a purpose, and by an authority, such that the compulsory acquisition of the land could be authorised by a compulsory purchase order,
and there subsists over any part of the land a public right of way, not being a right enjoyable by vehicular traffic.
(2)If the acquiring authority is satisfied that a suitable alternative right of way has been or will be provided, or that the provision thereof is not required, the acquiring authority may by order extinguish the right of way; and Schedule 6 to the M1Highways Act 1980 shall have effect as to the making, confirmation, validity and date of operation of any such order.
(3)If the acquiring authority is not the Secretary of State—
(a)the order under subsection (2) above shall not take effect unless confirmed by the Secretary of State, or unless confirmed, as an unopposed order, by the acquiring authority under paragraph 2(1)(b) of Schedule 6 to the M2Highways Act 1980 as applied by this section, and
(b)the Secretary of State shall not confirm the order unless satisfied that this section applies, and that a suitable alternative right of way has been or will be provided, or that the provision thereof is not required.

(c)if the acquiring authority does not take possession of the land in exercise of any such power, the date on which the acquisition of the land is completed.
(5)Where a right of way is extinguished under this section at a date before the acquisition of the land is completed, then if at any time thereafter it appears to the acquiring authority that the proposal to acquire the land has been abandoned, the acquiring authority shall by order direct that the right shall revive, without prejudice, however, to the making of a new order extinguishing the right.
(6)No order shall be made under subsection (2) above as respects a right of way over land on, over or under which there is any apparatus belonging to statutory undertakers unless the undertakers consent to the making of the order, and—

Any question arising under this subsection whether any requirement or refusal is reasonable shall be determined by the appropriate Minister.
