(2) References in the 1965 Act to land are, in the appropriate contexts, to be read (according to the requirements of the particular context) as referring to, or as including references to—

(a)the right acquired or to be acquired, or the restriction imposed or to be imposed; or

(b)the land over which the right is or is to be exercisable, or the restriction is or is to be enforceable.

(3) For section 7 (measure of compensation in case of severance) of the 1965 Act substitute—

“7. In assessing the compensation to be paid by the acquiring authority under this Act, regard must be had not only to the extent (if any) to which the value of the land over which the right is to be acquired or the restrictive covenant is to be imposed is depreciated by the acquisition of the right or the imposition of the covenant but also to the damage (if any) to be sustained by the owner of the land by reason of its severance from other land of the owner, or injuriously affecting that other land by the exercise of the powers conferred by this or the special Act.”

(a)section 9(4) (failure by owners to convey);

(b)paragraph 10(3) of Schedule 1 (owners under incapacity);

(c)paragraph 2(3) of Schedule 2 (absent and untraced owners); and

(d)paragraphs 2(3) and 7(2) of Schedule 4 (common land);

are modified so as to secure that, as against persons with interests in the land which are expressed to be overridden by the deed, the right which is to be compulsorily acquired or the restrictive covenant which is to be imposed is vested absolutely in the acquiring authority.

(5) Section 11 (powers of entry) of the 1965 Act is modified so as to secure that, where the acquiring authority has served notice to treat in respect of any right or restriction, as well as the notice of entry required by sub-section (1) of that section (as it applies to a compulsory acquisition), it has power, exercisable in equivalent circumstances and subject to equivalent conditions, to enter for the purpose of exercising that right or enforcing that restrictive covenant; and sections 11A(3) (powers of entry: further notices of entry), 11B(4) (counter-notice requiring possession to be taken on specified date), 12 (unauthorised entry) and 13 (refusal to give possession to acquiring authority) of the 1965 Act are modified correspondingly.

(6) Section 20 (tenants at will, etc.) of the 1965 Act applies with the modifications necessary to secure that persons with such interests in land as are mentioned in that section are compensated in a manner corresponding to that in which they would be compensated on a compulsory acquisition under this Order of that land, but taking into account only the extent (if any) of such interference with such an interest as is actually caused, or likely to be caused, by the exercise of the right or the enforcement of the restrictive covenant in question.

(7) Section 22 (interests omitted from purchase) of the 1965 Act as modified by article 32(4) is also modified so as to enable the acquiring authority in circumstances corresponding to those referred to in that section, to continue to be entitled to exercise the right acquired, subject to compliance with that section as respects compensation.

(8) For Schedule 2A of the 1965 Act substitute—

Section 8

“SCHEDULE 2AE+W+SCounter-notice requiring purchase of land not in notice to treat

Introduction

1.—(1) This Schedule applies where an acquiring authority serves a notice to treat in respect of a right over, or a restrictive covenant affecting, the whole or part of a house, building or factory and have not executed a general vesting declaration under section 4 (execution of declaration) of the 1981 Act as applied by article 30 (application of the 1981 Act) of the HyNet Carbon Dioxide Pipeline Order 2024 in respect of the land to which the notice to treat relates.

(2) But see article 31 (acquisition of subsoil or airspace only) of the HyNet Carbon Dioxide Pipeline Order 2024 which excludes the acquisition of subsoil or airspace only from this Schedule.

(3) In this Schedule, “house” includes any park or garden belonging to a house.

Counter-notice requiring purchase of land

2. A person who is able to sell the house, building or factory (“the owner”) may serve a counter-notice requiring the acquiring authority to purchase the owner’s interest in the house, building or factory.

3. A 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.

Response to counter-notice

4. On 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.

5. The 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”).

6. If the authority decide to refer the counter-notice to the Upper Tribunal they must do so within the decision period.

7. If the authority do not serve notice of a decision within the decision period it is to be treated as if it had served notice of a decision to withdraw the notice to treat at the end of that period.

8. If 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.

Determination by the Upper Tribunal

9. On a referral under paragraph (6), the Upper Tribunal must determine whether the acquisition of the right or the imposition of the restrictive covenant 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.

10. In making the determination, the Upper Tribunal must take into account—

(a)the effect of the acquisition of the right or the imposition of the covenant;

(b)the use to be made of the right or covenant proposed to be acquired or imposed; and

(c)if the right or covenant is proposed to be acquired or imposed for works or other purposes extending to other land, the effect of the whole of the works and the use of the other land.

11. If the Upper Tribunal determines that the acquisition of the right or the imposition of the covenant would have either of the consequences described in paragraph 9, it must determine how much of the house, building or factory the acquiring authority ought to be required to take.

12. If the Upper Tribunal determines that the acquiring 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.

13.—(1) If the Upper Tribunal determines that the acquiring authority ought to be required to take some or all of the house, building or factory, the acquiring authority may at any time within the period of six 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 it must pay the person on whom the notice was served compensation for any loss or expense caused by the giving and withdrawing of the notice.

14. Any dispute as to the compensation is to be determined by the Upper Tribunal.”

(3) If alternative apparatus or any part of such apparatus is to be constructed elsewhere than in other land of the undertaker, or the undertaker is unable to afford such facilities and rights as are mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) in the land in which the alternative apparatus or part of such apparatus is to be constructed, the utility undertaker in question must, on receipt of a written notice to that effect from the undertaker, as soon as reasonably possible use reasonable endeavours to obtain the necessary facilities and rights in the land in which the alternative apparatus is to be constructed.

(4) Any alternative apparatus to be constructed in land of the undertaker under this Part must be constructed in such manner and in such line or situation as may be agreed between the utility undertaker in question and the undertaker or in default of agreement settled by arbitration in accordance with article 47 (arbitration).

(3) If at any point UU Water’s Estimate is forecast to be exceeded, UU Water shall submit an early warning notification and then a change request documenting all costs already incurred and forecast to be reasonably incurred and submit an updated Estimate to the undertaker no less than 28 days prior to the Estimate being reasonably expected to be exceeded. The undertaker shall make such additional payment required by the updated Estimate as soon as reasonably possible and in any event no later than 56 days after receipt of the updated Estimate.

(4) Where the undertaker fails to make such additional payment required under sub-paragraph (3) within 56 days of receipt of the updated Estimate, UU Water will be entitled to require the undertaker to suspend works from the point at which the charges, costs and expenses reach or exceed the Estimate. In addition any reasonable abortive/demobilisation costs resulting from this would be recoverable by UU Water from the undertaker.

(5) In the event of any dispute as to the reasonableness of costs included in an updated Estimate submitted under sub-paragraph (3), UU Water must not exercise the powers of sub-paragraph (4) until the dispute has been finally determined.

(6) Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, UU Water’ will retain an account of all its direct charges, costs and expenses reasonably incurred and documented by UU Water in the design, planning, inspection, removal, relaying or replacing, alteration or protection of any apparatus or the construction of any new or alternative apparatus required as a direct result of the execution of any authorised works including without limitation—

(a)any costs reasonably incurred by or compensation properly paid by UU Water in connection with the acquisition of rights or the exercise of statutory powers for such apparatus including reasonable costs (including professional fees) incurred by UU Water as a consequence of UU Water;

(i)using its own compulsory purchase powers to acquire any necessary rights under paragraph 5(3) if it elects to do so; or

(ii)exercising any compulsory purchase powers under this Order transferred to or benefitting UU Water;

(b)in connection with the cost of the carrying out of any necessary diversion work or the provision of any alternative apparatus;

(c)the cutting off of any apparatus from any other apparatus or the making safe of redundant apparatus;

(d)the approval of plans;

(e)the carrying out of protective works;

(f)the survey of any land, apparatus or works, the inspection and monitoring of works, the provision of network contingency measures or the installation or removal of any temporary works reasonably necessary in consequence of the execution of any such works referred to in this Part of this Schedule;

(g)any watching brief pursuant to sub-paragraph 145(6);

(h)in connection with an assessment of flood risk from UU Water apparatus (note above comment about whether this apparatus includes a reservoir);

(i)in connection with an assessment of the impact on a UU Water outfall;

(j)any relevant charges in accordance with the charges scheme under the Water Industry Act 1991.

(7) UU Water shall give the undertaker regular actual and forecast cost updates at intervals to be agreed between UU Water and the undertaker, each acting reasonably.

(8) Within 90 days of completion of the specified works, UU Water shall reconcile its accounts with its supply chain and collate its internal costs and advise the undertaker of the final account position. Within 28 days of this final account, UU shall reimburse the undertaker of all remaining monies that were received as part of any advance payment arrangements. If the final account is above the Estimate, the undertaker will be required to pay UU Water within 28 days of submission of the final account.

(9) UU Water may in carrying out works, elect to place—

(a)alternative apparatus of a better type, or greater capacity or of greater dimensions in substitution for existing apparatus of worse type, of smaller capacity or of smaller dimensions save where this has been solely due to using the nearest currently available type (or where it is more economical overall or there is no practical alternative to the relevant course of action, including where the same is mandated by UU Water’s Standards); or

(b)existing or alternative apparatus at a depth greater than the depth at which the existing apparatus was situated save for where the requirement for a greater depth cannot reasonably be avoided, (a “Betterment”).

(10) The twinning of assets crossing the authorised works or similar initiatives to provide resilience to UU Water’s network in accordance with the prevailing business and engineering requirements may be necessary, in circumstances in which the proposed authorised works will compromise the future access or present an unacceptable operational or business risk to the relevant asset (without interference with the authorised work), and such twinning or similar arrangement is not Betterment. Where UU Water can demonstrate on a case by case basis that the particular asset is critical (for example, it is critical to the provision of water or wastewater services, or the authorised works cannot accommodate a like for like asset replacement, or there is no alternative means of maintaining services to customers by bypassing the asset under the authorised works), the twinning of assets crossing the authorised works or similar arrangement is not Betterment.

(11) Where UU Water has elected to place apparatus which is assessed and agreed by UU Water as Betterment, the undertaker shall not be required to cover any additional cost associated with that Betterment. Any such assessment and decision by UU Water on whether such apparatus is Betterment or not shall always be made by UU Water acting reasonably.

“specified work” means any development authorised by this Order and carried out in relation to or which may affect any drainage work.

Commencement Information

I365Sch. 10 para. 317 in force at 11.4.2024, see art. 1(2)

318.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (4) the undertaker must, for the duration of the construction of the specified work, as far as reasonably practicable maintain in good repair and condition and keep free from obstruction any part of any drainage work which is situated on land held or occupied by the undertaker for the purposes of or in connection with the specified work, whether or not the drainage work is constructed under the powers conferred by this Order or is already in existence.E+W+S

(2) If any such drainage work which the undertaker is liable to maintain is not maintained to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agency, the Agency may by notice in writing require the undertaker to repair and restore the work, or any part of such work, or (if the undertaker so elects and the Agency in writing consents, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to remove the work and restore the site to its former condition, to such extent and within such limits as the Agency reasonably requires.

(3) If within a reasonable period, being not less than 28 days beginning with the date on which a notice in respect of any drainage work is served under sub-paragraph (2) on the undertaker, the undertaker has failed to begin taking steps to comply with the requirements of the notice and has not subsequently made reasonably expeditious progress towards their implementation, the Agency may undertake the works reasonably necessary for such compliance, subject to the undertaker having the reasonable opportunity to supervise the planning and execution of such works to the extent reasonably necessary to ensure they are compliant with and do not compromise the undertaker’s ability to comply with the Pipeline Safety Regulations 1996 and any expenditure reasonably and properly incurred by the Agency in so doing is recoverable from the undertaker. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agency may not under any circumstances undertake any works to the pipeline itself which would or would be likely to conflict with the duties and obligations of the undertaker under the Pipeline Safety Regulations 1996, any direction issued by the Health and Safety Executive under those regulations or any other health and safety legislation relating the operation and maintenance of the pipeline.

(4) This paragraph does not apply to-

(a)drainage works which are vested in the Agency, or which the Agency or another person is liable to maintain and is not proscribed by the powers of the Order from doing so; and

(b)any obstruction of a drainage work expressly authorised in the approval of a flood risk activity permit and carried out in accordance with the provisions of that flood risk activity permit provided that any obstruction is removed as soon as reasonably practicable.

(5) Where the authorised development involves the crossing of any watercourse by open cut trench installation, the use of a dam as part of such installation works shall not constitute an obstruction for the purpose of these provisions.

I371Sch. 12 para. 3 in force at 11.4.2024, see art. 1(2)

ProcedureE+W+S

4.—(1) The Arbitrator must make an award on the substantive difference based solely on the written material submitted by the parties unless the Arbitrator decides that a hearing is necessary to explain or resolve any matters.

(2) Either party may, within 2 days of delivery of the last submission, request a hearing giving specific reasons why it considers a hearing is required.

(3) Within 5 days of receiving the last submission, the Arbitrator will notify the parties whether a hearing is to be held and the length of that hearing.

(4) Within 10 days of the Arbitrator advising the parties that he will hold a hearing, the date and venue for the hearing will be fixed by agreement with the parties, save that if there is no agreement the Arbitrator must direct a date and venue which he considers is fair and reasonable in all the circumstances. The date for the hearing must not be less than 35 days from the date of the Arbitrator’s direction confirming the date and venue of the hearing.

(5) A decision must be made by the Arbitrator on whether there is any need for expert evidence to be submitted orally at the hearing. If oral expert evidence is required by the Arbitrator, then any expert(s) attending the hearing may be asked questions by the Arbitrator.

(6) There is no process of examination and cross-examination of experts, but the Arbitrator will invite the parties to ask questions of the experts by way of clarification of any answers given by the expert(s) in response to the Arbitrator’s questions. Prior to the hearing the procedure for the expert(s) is—

(a)at least 20 days before a hearing, the Arbitrator will provide a list of issues to be addressed by the expert(s);

(b)if more than one expert is called, they will jointly confer and produce a joint report or reports within 10 days of the issues being provided; and

(c)the form and content of a joint report will be as directed by the Arbitrator and must be provided at least 5 days before the hearing.

(7) Within 10 days of a Hearing or a decision by the Arbitrator that no hearing is to be held the Parties may by way of exchange provide the Arbitrator with a final submission in connection with the matters in dispute and any submissions on costs. The Arbitrator will take these submissions into account in the Award.

(8) The Arbitrator may make other directions or rulings as considered appropriate in order to ensure that the parties comply with the timetable and procedures to achieve an award on the substantive difference within 4 months of the date on which they are appointed, unless both parties otherwise agree to an extension to the date for the award.

(9) If a party fails to comply with the timetable, procedure or any other direction then the Arbitrator may continue in the absence of a party or submission or document, and may make a decision on the information before them attaching the appropriate weight to any evidence submitted beyond any timetable or in breach of any procedure and/or direction.

(10) The Arbitrator’s award must include reasons. The parties will accept that the extent to which reasons are given is to be proportionate to the issues in dispute and the time available to the Arbitrator to deliver the award.

Arbitrator’s powersE+W+S

5.—(1) The Arbitrator has all the powers of the Arbitration Act 1996(13), including the non-mandatory sections, save where modified by these Rules.

(2) There will be no discovery or disclosure, except that the Arbitrator has the power to order the parties to produce such documents as are reasonably requested by another party no later than the Statement of Reply, or by the Arbitrator, where the documents are manifestly relevant, specifically identified and the burden of production is not excessive. Any application and orders should be made by way of a Redfern Schedule without any hearing.

(3) Any time limits fixed in accordance with this procedure or by the Arbitrator may be varied by agreement between the parties, subject to any such variation being acceptable to and approved by the Arbitrator. In the absence of agreement, the Arbitrator may vary the timescales and/or procedure—

(a)if the Arbitrator is satisfied that a variation of any fixed time limit is reasonably necessary to avoid a breach of the rules of natural justice and then;

(b)only for such a period that is necessary to achieve fairness between the parties.

(4) On the date the award is made, the Arbitrator will notify the parties that the award is completed, signed and dated, and that it will be issued to the parties on receipt of cleared funds for the Arbitrator’s fees and expenses.
