Housing Act 1985

5 (1) This paragraph applies where a rehabilitation order becomes operative in respect of land included in a compulsory purchase order made and confirmed by virtue of section 290 (acquisition of land for clearance).

(2) If at the date on which the rehabilitation order becomes operative—

(a) no interest in the land has vested in the local housing authority, and

(b) they have not served a notice to treat under section 5 of the [1965 c. 56.] Compulsory Purchase Act 1965 in respect of any interest in the land.

the compulsory purchase order ceases to have effect in relation to the land and if the land is included in a clearance area it ceases to be so included.

(3) Where sub-paragraph (1) does not apply the compulsory purchase order has effect in relation to any interest in the land which has not vested in the authority at the date on which the rehabilitation order becomes operative—

(a) in so far as it relates to a house, as if made and confirmed under Part II (provision of housing), and

(b) in so far as it relates to land other than a house, as if made and confirmed under Part VI of the [1971 c. 78.] Town and Country Planning Act 1971 (planning purposes).
