3Where proceedings required by Schedule 1 to the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 to be taken in respect of a compulsory purchase order proposed to be made in pursuance of section 3 of this Act are so taken, the Secretary of State may disregard for the purposes of that Schedule any objection to the draft compulsory purchase order which in his opinion amounts in substance to an objection to the Scheme.

(a)as if references to such a compulsory acquisition were included in references to the compulsory acquisition of a right by virtue of section 250 of that Act; and
(b)as if a compulsory purchase order providing for such a compulsory acquisition were made in the exercise of highway land acquisition powers.
(2)The provisions mentioned above are—

(b)section 251 (rights acquired to be binding on successive owners of the land); and
