FIRST SCHEDULE Provisions relating to certain Orders under Part III

PART I

1 Before making the order, the Minister—

(a) shall publish in one or more newspapers circulating in the district in which the land is situated; and

(b) shall serve on every owner, lessee and occupier of any of the land and upon every local authority within whose area any of the land is situated;

a notice stating that the Minister proposes to make the order and the effect thereof, and specifying the time (not being less than twenty-sight days from the service of the notice) within which, and the manner in which, objections to the making of the order may be made.

2 If no objection is duly made by any such local authority, owner, lessee or occupier as aforesaid or if all objections so made are withdrawn, the Minister may, if he thinks fit, make the order.

3 If any objection duly made as aforesaid is not withdrawn, the Minister shall, before making the order, either cause a public local inquiry to be held or afford to any person by whom any objection has been duly made as aforesaid and not withdrawn an opportunity of appearing before and being heard by a person appointed by the Minister for the purpose, and after considering the objection and the report of the person who held the inquiry or the person appointed as aforesaid, may, if he thinks fit, make the order.

4 Notwithstanding anything in the two last foregoing paragraphs, the Minister may require any person who has made an objection to state in writing the grounds thereof, and may disregard the objection for the purposes of those paragraphs if he is satisfied that the objection relates exclusively to matters which can be dealt with by the tribunal by whom the compensation is to be assessed.

5 Immediately after the order has been made, the Minister shall publish in one or more newspapers circulating in the district in which the land is situated a notice stating that the order has been made, and naming a place where a copy of the order may be seen at all reasonable hours, and shall serve a like notice on every person who, having duly objected to the order, has not withdrawn his objection.
