Where the Secretary of State proposes to make an order under section 1 above he shall prepare a draft of the order, describing the area to be designated as the site of the proposed new town by reference to a map, either with or without descriptive matter, together with such statement as he considers necessary for indicating the size and general character of the proposed new town.
In the case of any discrepancy between the map and any such descriptive matter, the descriptive matter shall prevail except in so far as may be otherwise provided by the draft order.
Before making the order the Secretary of State shall publish a notice—
in the London Gazette;
in one or more newspapers circulating in the locality in which the proposed new town will be situated; and
in such other newspapers, if any, as he considers appropriate in the circumstances.
That notice shall—
describe the area to be designated as the site of the proposed new town;
state that the draft of an order under section 1 above has been prepared by the Secretary of State in relation to that area and is about to be considered by him;
name a place within that area where a copy of the draft order (including any map or descriptive matter annexed to it) and of the statement required by paragraph 1 above may be seen at any reasonable hour;
specify the time (not being less than 28 days from the publication of the notice in the Gazette) within which, and the manner in which, objections to the proposed order may be made.
The Secretary of State shall, not later than the date on which the notice is published in the Gazette, serve a like notice on the council of every county and of every district in which the land, or any part of the land, to which the order relates is situated, and on any other local authority who appear to him to be concerned with the order.
If any objection is duly made to the proposed order and is not withdrawn, the Secretary of State shall, before making the order, cause a public local inquiry to be held with respect to the objection, and shall consider the report of the person by whom the inquiry was held.
Subject to paragraph 3 above, the Secretary of State may make the order either in terms of the draft or subject to such modifications as he thinks fit, but, except with the consent of all persons interested, he shall not make the order subject to a modification which includes in the area designated as the site of the proposed new town any land not so designated in the draft order.
As soon as may be after an order has been made as provided by this Schedule, the Secretary of State shall publish as provided in paragraph 2(1) above a notice stating that the order has been made and naming a place (within the area designated by the order as the site of the proposed new town) where a copy of the order may be seen at any reasonable hour.
The Secretary of State shall serve a like notice—
on any local authority on whom notice of the proposed order was served under paragraph 2; and
on any other person who has duly made an objection to the proposed order and, at or after the time of making that objection, has sent to the Secretary of State a request in writing to serve him with the notice required by this paragraph, giving an address for service.
If any person aggrieved by an order under section 1 above desires to question the validity of that order, or of any provision contained in it, on the ground—
that it is not within the powers of this Act, or
that any requirement of this Act has not been complied with in relation to the order,
he may, within 6 weeks from the date on which notice of the making of the order is first published in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Schedule apply to the High Court.
On any such application the Court—
may by interim order suspend the operation of the order or any of its provisions, either generally or in so far as it affects any of the applicant’s property, until the final determination of the proceedings; and
if satisfied that the order or any of its provisions—
is not within the powers of this Act, or
that the applicant’s interests have been substantially prejudiced by any requirement of this Act not having been complied with,
may quash the order or any of its provisions, either generally or in so far as it affects any of the applicant’s property.
Subject to paragraph 6 above, an order under section 1 above shall not, either before or after it has been made, be questioned in any legal proceedings whatsoever, and shall become operative on the date on which notice is first published as mentioned in that praragraph.

A corporation shall comply with such directions as the Secretary of State may give—
for preventing the duty from being performed; or
for restricting the duty; or
for requiring it to be performed in a manner specified in the directions.
Before giving a direction under sub-paragraph (4) above, the Secretary of State shall consult the corporation, unless he is satisfied that because of urgency consultation is impracticable.
Where a corporation purports to dispose of land by virtue of this paragraph, then—
in favour of a person claiming under the corporation, the disposal so purporting to be made shall not be invalid by reason that any consent of the Secretary of State required under this paragraph has not been given or that any direction of his given under this paragraph has not been complied with; and
a person dealing with the corporation, or a person claiming under the corporation, shall not be concerned to see or enquire whether any such consent has been given or whether any such direction has been given or complied with.

Sections 10, 11, 13.
A compulsory purchase order made under this Act by a development corporation or local highway authority—
shall designate the land to which it relates by reference to a map annexed to it, either with or without descriptive matter, and
subject to that, shall be in such form as may be prescribed.
In the case of any discrepancy between the map and any such descriptive matter, the descriptive matter shall prevail except in so far as may be otherwise provided by the order.
After submitting the order to the Secretary of State, the acquiring authority—
shall publish a notice in the prescribed form describing the land, stating that an order authorising the compulsory acquisition of that land has been submitted to the Secretary of State, naming a place where a copy of the order and of the map and any annexed descriptive matter may be seen at any reasonable hour, and specifying the time (not being less than 28 days from the first local advertisement) within which, and the manner in which, objections to the order may be made, and
if the Secretary of State so directs in the case of the order in question, shall serve on every owner of any of the land to which the order relates a notice to the like effect as the notice required to be published under head (a) above,
except that head (b) above shall not apply if the order relates only to land within the area of a new town.
The notice required to be published by sub-paragraph (1)(a) above shall be published—
in the case of such an order as is described in the exception to sub-paragraph (1) above, and in any other case where service on owners is not effected under head (b) of that sub-paragraph, by publishing that notice—
in the London Gazette, and
in each of two successive weeks, in one or more newspapers circulating in the locality in which the land to which the order relates is situated, and
by affixing a copy, addressed to “the owners and any occupiers” of the land (describing it), to some conspicuous object or objects on the land;
where service on owners is effected under that head (b), by publishing it in one or more newspapers circulating in the locality in which the land to which the order relates is situated.
Publication and, if applicable, service in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall be effected—
in the case of an order relating only to land within the area of a new town, as soon as may be after the order has been submitted;
in any other case, as soon as may be after the order has been submitted and any direction of the Secretary of State as to service on owners under sub-paragraph (1)(b) above has been given or he has notified the acquiring authority that he does not propose to give such a direction.
In this paragraph “
Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 below in any case in which those provisions have effect, the Secretary of State may confirm the order with or without modification, but shall not, unless all persons interested consent, so modify it as to extend it to any land which was not designated by the order as submitted.
If any objection is duly made to the order and is not withdrawn, the following provisions of this paragraph shall have effect.
For the purposes of this Schedule an objection shall not be treated as duly made unless—
it is made within the time and in the manner specified in the notice required by paragraph 2 above, and
a statement in writing of the grounds of the objection is comprised in or submitted with the objection.
Unless the Secretary of State decides apart from the objection not to confirm the order, or decides to make a modification which is agreed to by the objector as meeting the objection, the Secretary of State shall, before making a final decision, consider the grounds of the objection as set out in the statement, and may, if he thinks fit, require the objector to submit within a specified period a further statement in writing as to any of the matters to which the objection relates.
In so far as the Secretary of State, after considering the grounds of the objection as set out in the original statement and any such further statement, is satisfied—
that the objection relates to a matter which can be dealt with in the assessment of compensation, or
in the case of an order relating to land within the area of a new town, that the objection is made on the ground that the acquisition is unnecessary or inexpedient,
he may treat the objection as irrelevant for the purpose of making a final decision.
If—
the Secretary of State, after considering the grounds of the objection as set out in the original statement and any such further statement is satisfied that for the purpose of making a final decision he is sufficiently informed as to the matters to which the objection relates, or
where a further statement has been required, it is not submitted within the specified period,
the Secretary of State may make a final decision without further investigation as to those matters.
Subject to sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) above, the Secretary of State—
shall, before making a final decision, afford to the objector an opportunity of appearing before and being heard by a person appointed for the purpose by the Secretary of State; and
shall, if the person making the objection avails himself of that opportuntiy, afford an opportunity of appearing and being heard on the same occasion to the acquiring authority and to any other persons to whom it appears to the Secretary of State to be expedient to afford it.
Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, if it appears to the Secretary of State that the matters to which the objection relates are such as to require investigation by public local inquiry before he makes a final decision—
he shall cause such an inquiry to be held; and
where he determines to cause such an inquiry to be held, any of the requirements of those provisions to which effect has not been given at the time when he so determines shall be dispensed with.
In this paragraph any reference to making a final decision, in relation to an order, is a reference to deciding—
whether to confirm the order, or
what modification, if any, ought to be made.
As soon as may be after the order has been confirmed the acquiring authority shall publish in one or more newspapers circulating in the locality in which the land designated by the order is situated a notice in the prescribed form—
describing the land,
stating that the order has been confirmed, and
naming a place where a copy of the order and of the map and any annexed descriptive matter may be seen at any reasonable hour,
and shall serve a like notice on—
any owner or occupier of any of the land designated by the order who, at any time after the publication of the notice of the order as submitted, has sent to the acquiring authority a request in writing to serve him with the notice required by this paragraph giving an address for service and the prescribed particulars of his interest;
any person who has duly made an objection to the order and at the time of making it or afterwards has sent to the acquiring authority such a request; and
such other persons, if any, as the Secretary of State may specify, whether individually or as members of a class of persons.
Where—
proceedings are necessary for the purposes of paragraphs 1, 2 and 4 above in relation to an order authorising a compulsory acquisition of land, and
that land is in an area proposed to be designated as the site of a new town by an order a draft of which has been published in accordance with Schedule 1 to this Act,
the Secretary of State may by regulations provide for enabling the proceedings referred to in head (a) to be taken, so far as may be practicable, contemporaneously with the proceedings on the order referred to in head (b).
Subject to this paragraph, where a compulsory purchase order under section 11(1) above is submitted to the Secretary of State the notice required to be published under paragraph 2 above shall be published not only as mentioned in that paragraph but also by being exhibited at such places in the locality to which the order relates as appear to the acquiring authority to be suitable for bringing it to the attention of all persons concerned.
Sub-paragraph (1) above shall not apply in any case where the Secretary of State is satisfied that the land to which the compulsory purchase order relates is required for the purpose of a project—
which was adequately set out in a statement prepared for the purposes of an order under section 1 above which has been made; or
which has been the subject of an inquiry for the purposes of section 10, or, so far as it relates to trunk roads, section 14 of the
Where there is submitted to the Secretary of State a compulsory purchase order under section 11(1) above authorising the acquisition of any land forming a frontage to, or abutting on or adjacent to, a road, and the Secretary of State is satisfied as respects the whole or any part of the land—
that the acquisition would be requisite only for the purpose of controlling development, and
that every owner has entered, or is willing to enter, into such an agreement with the local highway authority or the Secretary of State as is provided for by section 9(1) above or is bound by such an agreement, and that the agreement or proposed agreement is satisfactory for that purpose,
the order shall not be confirmed so as to authorise the acquisition of any part of the land as to which the Secretary of State is satisfied as mentioned above.
A compulsory purchase order made under section 11(2) above by the Secretary of State—
shall designate the land to which it relates by reference to an annexed map either with or without descriptive matter, and
subject to that, shall be in such form as the Secretary of State may determine.
In the case of any discrepancy between the map and any such descriptive matter, the descriptive matter shall prevail except in so far as may be otherwise provided by the order.
Where the Secretary of State proposes to make such an order, he shall prepare a draft, and then as soon as may be shall—
publish in the manner mentioned in paragraph 2 above, and
in any case in which he thinks it requisite to do so, serve on every owner of any of the land to which the order as prepared in draft relates,
a notice, in such form as he may determine, similar, with requisite adaptations, to the notice mentioned in paragraph 2(1).
Paragraphs 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 above shall have effect in relation to such an order—
with the substitution, for references to the Secretary of State and to the acquiring authority, of references to the Secretary of State;
with the substitution, for references to an order as submitted and to the confirmation of an order, of references respectively to an order as prepared in draft and to the making of an order;
with the ommission, in paragraph 4(5), of the reference to the acquiring authority;
with the substitution, for the references to a compulsory purchase order under section 11(1) above and to the notice required by paragraph 2 above, of references respectively to a compulsory purchase order under section 11(2) and to the notice required by paragraph 10 above; and
with the substitution, in paragraph 8, of the words “the Secretary of State proposes to make” for the words “there is submitted to the Secretary of State”.
In so far as a compulsory purchase order authorises the acquisition of land—
which is the property of a local authority, or
which is land belonging to the National Trust, and which is held by the Trust inalienably,
the order shall be subject to special parliamentary procedure in any case where an objection to the order has been duly made by the local authority or the National Trust, as the case may be, and has not been withdrawn.
In so far as a compulsory purchase order authorises the acquisition of any land forming part of any common, open space or fuel or field garden allotment, the order shall be subject to special parliamentary procedure unless the Secretary of State . . .
that there has been or will be given in exchange for such land other land, not being less in area, and being equally advantageous to the persons (if any) entitled to rights of common or other rights, and to the public, and that the land given in exchange has been or will be vested in the persons in whom the land acquired was vested, and subject to the like rights, trusts and incidents as attached to the land acquired, or
that the land is required for the widening of an existing highway and that the giving in exchange of other land is unnecessary, whether in the interests of the persons, if any, entitled to rights of common or other rights or in the interests of the public,
and certifies accordingly.
Where it is proposed to give a certificate under this paragraph, the Secretary of State . . .
after affording opportunity to all persons interested to make representations and objections in relation thereto, and
after causing a public local inquiry to be held in any case where it appears to him to be expedient so to do, having regard to any representations or objections made,
the Secretary of State . . .
A compulsory purchase order may provide for vesting land given in exchange as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) above in the persons, and subject to the rights, trusts and incidents, therein mentioned, and for discharging the land acquired from all rights, trusts and incidents to which it was previously subject.
As soon as may be after the giving of a certificate under this paragraph the acquiring authority shall publish in the London Gazette and, in each of two successive weeks, in one or more newspapers circulating in the locality in which the land designated by the order is situated, a notice in the prescribed form stating that the certificate has been given.
If any person aggrieved by a compulsory purchase order, or by a certificate under paragraph 13 above, desires to question the validity thereof, or of any provision contained therein, on the ground—
that it is not within the powers of this Act, or
that any requirement of this Act or any regulation made under this Act has not been complied with in relation to the order or certificate,
he may, within 6 weeks from the date on which notice of the confirmation or making of the order or of the giving of the certificate is first published in accordance with this Schedule, apply to the High Court.
On any such application the Court—
may by interim order suspend the operation of the order or any of its provisions, or of the certificate, either generally or in so far as it affects the applicant’s property, until the final determination of the proceedings; and
if satisfied that the order or any of its provisions, or the certificate, is not within the powers of this Act or that the applicant’s interests have been substantially prejudiced by any requirement of this Act or of any regulation made under it not having been complied with, may quash the order or any of its provisions, or the certificate, either generally or in so far as it affects any of the applicant’s property.
Subject to paragraph 14 above, a compulsory purchase order or a certificate under paragraph 13 above—
shall not, either before or after it has been made or confirmed or given, be questioned in any legal proceedings whatsoever; and
shall become operative on the date on which notice is first published as mentioned in that paragraph 14.

as if in paragraph 14(1) above for the reference to the date on which notice of the confirmation or making of the order is first published in accordance with this Schedule there were substituted a reference to the date on which the order becomes operative under that Act of 1945, and
as if paragraph 15(b) above were omitted.
An application by a development corporation or local highway authority for the purposes of section 13(1)(a) above shall be in such form as may be prescribed, and shall describe by reference to a map the land to which the application relates.

specifying the time (not being less than 28 days from the service of the notice) within which, and the manner in which, objections to the application may be made.
If—
no objection is duly made by any of the persons on whom notices are required to be served, or
if all objections so made are withdrawn,
the Secretary of State and the appropriate Minister may, if they think fit, make a compulsory purchase order in accordance with the application, with or without modification, but shall not, unless all persons interested consent, make the order with any modification which would extend it to any land to which the application did not relate.
If any objection is duly made by any of the persons on whom notices are required to be served and is not withdrawn, the Secretary of State and the appropriate Minister—

and they may then, if they think fit, make an order on the application.
An objection shall not be deemed for the purposes of section 13 above or this Schedule to be duly made unless—
it is made within the time and in the manner specified in the notice in that behalf; and
a statement in writing of the grounds of the objection is comprised in or submitted with the objection.
A compulsory purchase order made on such an application shall be in such form as the Secretary of State and the appropriate Minister may determine, and shall describe by reference to a map the land to which the order relates.
As soon as may be after a compulsory purchase order has been made on such an application the acquiring authority shall serve on every owner, lessee and occupier of any land to which the order relates a notice in the prescribed form stating that the order has been made and naming a place where a copy of the order and of the map referred to in the order may be seen at any reasonable hour.
A compulsory purchase order made by the Secretary of State and the appropriate Minister in pursuance of section 13(1)(b) above—

The Lands Tribunal shall not take into account any interest in land, or any enhancement of the value of any interest in land by reason of any building erected, work done or improvement or alteration made, whether on the land acquired or on any other land with which the claimant is, or was at the time of the erection, doing or making of the building, works, improvement or alteration, directly or indirectly concerned, if that Tribunal is satisfied—
that the creation of the interest,
the erection of the building,
the doing of the work,
the making of the improvement, or
the alteration,
as the case may be, was not reasonably necessary and was undertaken with a view to obtaining compensation or increased compensation.
Where statutory undertakers are entitled to compensation as mentioned in section 15 or section 26(7) above, the amount of the compensation shall (subject to paragraph 2 below) be an amount calculated in accordance with the following provisions of this paragraph.
That amount subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, shall be the aggregate of the following amounts, that is—
the amount of any expenditure reasonably incurred in acquiring land, providing apparatus, erecting buildings or doing work for the purpose of any adjustment of the carrying on of the undertaking rendered necessary by the proceeding giving rise to compensation;
whichever of the following is applicable, namely—
where such an adjustment is made—
A the estimated amount of any decrease in net receipts from the carrying on of the undertaking pending the adjustment, in so far as the decrease is directly attributable to the proceeding giving rise to compensation, together with
B such amount as appears reasonable compensation for any estimated decrease in net receipts from the carrying on of the undertaking in the period after the adjustment has been completed, in so far as the decrease is directly attributable to the adjustment, or
where no such adjustment is made, such amount as appears reasonable compensation for any estimated decrease in net receipts from the carrying on of the undertaking which is directly attributable to the proceeding giving rise to compensation;
where the compensation is under section 26(7), and is in respect of the imposition of a requirement to remove apparatus, the amount of any expenditure reasonably incurred by the statutory undertakers in complying with the requirement, reduced by the value after removal of the apparatus removed.
Where any such adjustment as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(a) above is made, the aggregate amount mentioned in that sub-paragraph shall be reduced by such amount (if any) as appears to the Lands Tribunal to be appropriate to offset—
the estimated value of any property (whether moveable or immoveable) belonging to the statutory undertakers and used for the carrying on of their undertaking which, in consequence of the adjustment, ceases to be so used, in so far as the value of the property has not been taken into account under sub-paragraph (2)(c) above, and
the estimated amount of any increase in net receipts from the carrying on of the undertaking in the period after the adjustment has been completed, in so far as that amount has not been taken into account under sub-paragraph (2)(b) above and is directly attributable to the adjustment,
and by any further amount which appears to the Lands Tribunal to be appropriate, having regard to any increase in the capital value of immoveable property belonging to the statutory undertakers which is directly attributable to the adjustment, allowance being made for any reduction made under paragraph (b) above.
References in this paragraph to a decrease in net receipts shall be construed as references to the amount by which a balance of receipts over expenditure is decreased, or a balance of expenditure over receipts is increased, or, where a balance of receipts over expenditure is converted into a balance of expenditure over receipts, as references to the aggregate of the two balances; and references to an increase in net receipts shall be construed accordingly.

Where the amount of any such compensation as is mentioned in paragraph 1(1) above falls to be ascertained in accordance with the provisions of that paragraph 1, the compensation shall, in default of agreement, be assessed by the Lands Tribunal, if apart from this paragraph it would not fall to be so assessed.
For the purposes of any proceedings arising before the Lands Tribunal in respect of compensation falling to be ascertained as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) above, sections 2 and 4 of the Land Compensation Act 1961 apply as they apply to proceedings on a question referred to the Tribunal under section 1 of that Act, but with the substitution in section 4 of that Act, for references to the acquiring authority, of references to the person from whom the compensation is claimed.

If—
after considering the grounds of the objection as set out in the original statement and in any such further statement, the relevant Minister is satisfied that, for the purpose of making a final decision, he is sufficiently informed as to the matters to which the objection relates, or
where a further statement has been required, it is not submitted within the specified period,
the relevant Minister may make a final decision without further investigation as to those matters.
Subject to paragraphs 3 and 4 above, the relevant Minister—
shall, before making a final decision, afford to the objector an opportunity of appearing before, and being heard by, a person appointed for the purpose by the relevant Minister; and
shall, if the objector avails himself of that opportunity, afford an opportunity of appearing and being heard on the same occasion—
to the statutory undertakers, development corporation or other person, if any, on whose representation the order is proposed to be made; and
to any other persons to whom it appears to the relevant Minister to be expedient to afford such an opportunity.
Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing provisions of this Schedule, if it appears to the relevant Minister that the matters to which the objection relates are such as to require investigation by public local inquiry before he makes a final decision, he shall cause such an inquiry to be held.
Where the relevant Minister determines to cause such an inquiry to be held, any of the requirements of those provisions to which effect has not been given at the time of that determination shall be dispensed with.
