[F48E+W+SSection 8(1) of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965 has effect as if references to acquiring land were to acquiring a right in the land, and Schedule 2A to that Act is to be read as if, for that Schedule, there were substituted—

2In this Schedule “house” includes any park or garden belonging to a house.
3A person who is able to sell the house, building or factory (“the owner”) may serve a counter-notice requiring the authority to purchase the owner's interest in the house, building or factory.
4A counter-notice under paragraph 3 must be served within the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the notice to treat was served.
5On receiving a counter-notice the acquiring authority must decide whether to—
(a)withdraw the notice to treat,
(b)accept the counter-notice, or
(c)refer the counter-notice to the Upper Tribunal.
6The authority must serve notice of their decision on the owner within the period of 3 months beginning with the day on which the counter-notice is served (“the decision period”).
7If the authority decide to refer the counter-notice to the Upper Tribunal they must do so within the decision period.
8If the authority do not serve notice of a decision within the decision period they are to be treated as if they had served notice of a decision to withdraw the notice to treat at the end of that period.
9If the authority serve notice of a decision to accept the counter-notice, the compulsory purchase order and the notice to treat are to have effect as if they included the owner's interest in the house, building or factory.
10On a referral under paragraph 7 the Upper Tribunal must determine whether the acquisition of the right would—
(a)in the case of a house, building or factory, cause material detriment to the house, building or factory, or
(b)in the case of a park or garden, seriously affect the amenity or convenience of the house to which the park or garden belongs.
11In making its determination, the Upper Tribunal must take into account—
(a)the effect of the acquisition of the right,
(b)the proposed use of the right, and
(c)if the right is proposed to be acquired for works or other purposes extending to other land, the effect of the whole of the works and the use of the other land.
12If the Upper Tribunal determines that the acquisition of the right would have either of the consequences described in paragraph 10 it must determine how much of the house, building or factory the authority ought to be required to take.
13If the Upper Tribunal determines that the authority ought to be required to take some or all of the house, building or factory the compulsory purchase order and the notice to treat are to have effect as if they included the owner's interest in that land.
14(1)If the Upper Tribunal determines that the authority ought to be required to take some or all of the house, building or factory, the authority may at any time within the period of 6 weeks beginning with the day on which the Upper Tribunal makes its determination withdraw the notice to treat in relation to that land.
(2)If the acquiring authority withdraws the notice to treat under this paragraph they must pay the person on whom the notice was served compensation for any loss or expense caused by the giving and withdrawal of the notice.
(3)Any dispute as to the compensation is to be determined by the Upper Tribunal.”]
