(1)No person shall be required to sell a part only—
(a)of any house, building or manufactory, or
(b)of a park or garden belonging to a house,
if he is willing and able to sell the whole of the house, building, manufactory, park or garden, unless the [F1Upper Tribunal] determines that—
(i)in the case of a house, building or manufactory the part proposed to be acquired can be taken without material detriment to the house, building or manufactory, or
(ii)in the case of a park or garden, the part proposed to be acquired can be taken without seriously affecting the amenity or convenience of the house,
and, if the [F1Upper Tribunal] [F2so determines], the [F1Upper Tribunal] shall award compensation in respect of any loss due to the severance of the part proposed to be acquired, in addition to its value; and thereupon the party interested shall be required to sell to the acquiring authority that part of the house, building, manufactory, park or garden.
(2)If any land which is not situated in a town or built upon is cut through and divided by the works so as to leave, either on both sides of the works, or on one side, a quantity of land which is less than half an acre, the owner of the land may require the acquiring authority to purchase the land along with the land subject to compulsory purchase:
Provided that this subsection shall not apply if the owner has other land adjoining the land so left into which it can be thrown so as to be conveniently occupied with it, and in that case the acquiring authority shall, if so required by the owner, at their own expense throw the piece of land so left into the adjoining land by removing the fences and levelling the sites thereof, and by soiling it in a satisfactory and workmanlike manner.
(3)If the owner of any land cut through and divided by the works requires the acquiring authority under the provisions of the special Act to make any bridge, culvert or other communication between the land so divided, and—
(a)the land is so cut through and divided as to leave, either on both sides or on one side, a quantity of land which is less than half an acre, or which is of less value than the expense of making the communication between the divided land, and
(b)the owner has not other land adjoining that piece of land,
the acquiring authority may require the owner to sell them the piece of land.
Any dispute as to the value of the piece of land, or as to the expense of making a communication between the divided land shall be determined by the [F3Upper Tribunal], and either party to proceedings for determining the compensation to be paid for the land acquired may require the [F3Upper Tribunal] to make [F4its determination] under this subsection in those proceedings.
