Subsection (2) of Section 4 of the Requisitioned Land and War Works Act, 1948, gives power to certain Ministers, who have acquired under the Defence Acts, otherwise than by virtue of Part II of the Requisitioned Land and War Works Act, 1945, or who propose so to acquire any land, to extinguish or modify any easement to which the land is subject, and provides for the application, with prescribed adaptations, of the provisions contained in Section 7, (3), 7 (4) and 41 of the latter Act, thus placing the compensation payable for the extinguishment or modification of easements on the same footing as the compensation payable for the discharge or modification of restrictions on the user of land.
Subsection (3) of the same section provides that, where an interest in land benefited by certain types of easement is vested in a statutory undertaking (as defined), the provisions of Sections 25, 26 and 27 of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1944 (or, if land is in Scotland, of Sections 24, 25 and 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act, 1945) and of the Schedules referred to in those sections shall apply with prescribed adaptations, as regards the interest of the undertaking in lieu of the provisions mentioned above.
These Regulations prescribe the necessary adaptations.
