a
with the consent in writing of the other of those parties, or

a
shall state whether or not there are in the applicant’s opinion, any classes of development which, either immediately or at a future time, would be appropriate for the land in question if it were not proposed to be acquired by any authority possessing compulsory purchase powers and, if so, shall specify the classes of development and the times at which they would be so appropriate;
b
shall state the applicant’s grounds for holding that opinion; and
c
shall be accompanied by a statement specifying the date on which a copy of the application has been or will be served on the other party directly concerned.

General
21
1
F97The 1946 Act and the M53Compulsory Purchase Act 1965 shall have effect with the modifications necessary to make them apply to the compulsory purchase of rights by virtue of section 142(4) above as they apply to the compulsory purchase of land so that, in appropriate contexts, references in those Acts to land are read as referring, or as including references, to the rights or to land over which the rights are or are to be exercisable, according to the requirements of the particular context.
2
Without prejudice to the generality of sub-paragraph (1) above, in relation to the purchase of rights in pursuance of section 143(4) above—

Adaptation of Part I of 1965 Act
23
1
In the M54Compulsory Purchase Act 1965 (hereafter in this Part of this Schedule referred to as “the Act”) for section 7 (which relates to compensation) there shall be substituted the following—
7
1
In assessing the compensation to be paid by the acquiring authority under this Act regard shall be had not only to the extent, if any, to which the value of the land over which the right is purchased is depreciated by the purchase but also to the damage, if any, to be sustained by the owner of the land by reason of injurious affection of other land of the owner by the exercise of the right.
2
The modifications subject to which subsection (1) of section 44 of the M55Land Compensation Act 1973 is to have effect, as applied by subsection (2) of that section to compensation for injurious affection under this section, are that for the words “land is acquired or taken" there shall be substituted the words
“ a right over land is purchased ”and for the words “acquired or taken from him" there shall be substituted the words“ over which the right is exercisable ”
2
For section 8 of the Act (which relates to cases in which a vendor cannot be required to sell part only of a building or garden) there shall be substituted the following—
8
1
Where in consequence of the service on a person in pursuance of section 5 of this Act of a notice to treat in respect of a right over land consisting of a house, building or manufactory or of a park or garden belonging to a house (hereafter in this subsection referred to as “the relevant land”)—
a
a question of disputed compensation in respect of the purchase of the right would apart from this section fall to be determined by the F238Upper Tribunal (hereafter in this section referred to as “the Tribunal”); and
b
before the Tribunal has determined that question the person satisfies the Tribunal that he has an interest which he is able and willing to sell in the whole of the relevant land and—
i
where that land consists of a house, building or manufactory, that the right cannot be purchased without material detriment to that land, or
ii
where that land consists of such a park or garden, that the right cannot be purchased without seriously affecting the amenity or convenience of the house to which that land belongs, the compulsory purchase order to which the notice to treat relates shall, in relation to that person, cease to authorise the purchase of the right and be deemed to authorise the purchase of that person’s interest in the whole of the relevant land including, where the land consists of such a park or garden, the house to which it belongs, and the notice shall be deemed to have been served in respect of that interest on such date as the Tribunal directs.
2
Any question as to the extent of the land in which a compulsory purchase order is deemed to authorise the purchase of an interest by virtue of the preceding subsection shall be determined by the Tribunal.
3
Where in consequence of a determination of the Tribunal that it is satisfied as mentioned in subsection (1) of this section a compulsory purchase order is deemed by virtue of that subsection to authorise the purchase of an interest in land, the acquiring authority may, at any time within the period of six weeks beginning with the date of the determination, withdraw the notice to treat in consequence of which the determination was made; but nothing in this subsection prejudices any other power of the authority to withdraw the notice.
4
The modifications subject to which subsection (1) of section 58 of the M56Land Compensation Act 1973 is to have effect, as applied by subsection (2) of that section to the duty of the Tribunal in determining whether it is satisfied as mentioned in subsection (1) of this section, are that at the beginning of paragraphs (a) and (b) there shall be inserted the words “a right over", for the word “severance" there shall be substituted the words
“ right on the whole of the house, building or manufactory or of the house and the park or garden ”and for the words “part proposed" and “part is" there shall be substituted respectively the words“ right proposed ”and“ right is ”
3
The following provisions of the Act (which state the effect of a deed poll executed in various circumstances, where there is no conveyance by persons with interests in the land), namely—
section 9(4) (failure of owners to convey);
paragraph 10(3) of Schedule 1 (owners under incapacity);
paragraph 2(3) of Schedule 2 (absent and untraced owners); and
paragraphs 2(3) and 7(2) of Schedule 4 (common land),
shall be so modified as to secure that, as against persons with interests in the land which are expressed to be overriden by the deed, the right which is to be purchased compulsorily is vested absolutely in the acquiring authority.
4
Section 11 of the Act (powers of entry) shall be so modified as to secure that, as from the date on which the acquiring authority has served notice to treat in respect of any right, it has power, exercisable in the like circumstances and subject to the like conditions, to enter for the purpose of exercising that right (which shall be deemed for this purpose to have been created on the date of service of the notice); and sections 12 (penalty for unauthorised entry) and 13 (entry on F223enforcement officer's or sheriff's warrant in the event of obstruction) of the Act shall be modified correspondingly.
5
Section 20 of the Act (compensation for short-term tenants) shall apply with the modifications necessary to secure that persons with such interests as are mentioned in that section are compensated in a manner corresponding to that in which they would be compensated on a compulsory acquisition of the interests but taking into account only the extent (if any) of such interference with such interests as is actually caused, or likely to be caused, by the exercise of the right in question.
6
Section 22 of the Act (protection of acquiring authority’s possession of land where by inadvertence an interest in the land has not been purchased) shall be so modified 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 in question, subject to compliance with that section as respects compensation.
