(2) In paragraph (1) above “relevant land” means the land acquired from the person concerned or any other land with which he is, or was at the time when the building was erected, the works executed or the improvement or alteration made, directly or indirectly concerned.
12.—(1) This article shall apply instead of section 8(1) of the 1965 Act (as applied by article 7 above) in any case where—
(a)a notice to treat is served on a person (“the owner”) under the 1965 Act (as so applied) in respect of land forming only part of a house, building or factory or of land consisting of a house with a park or garden (“the land subject to the notice to treat”), and
(b)a copy of this article is served on the owner with the notice to treat.
(2) In such a case, the owner may, within the period of 21 days beginning with the day on which the notice was served, serve on the undertaker a counter-notice objecting to the sale of the land subject to the notice to treat and stating that he is willing and able to sell the whole (“the land subject to the counter-notice”).
(3) If no such counter-notice is served within that period, the owner shall be required to sell the land subject to the notice to treat.
(4) If such a counter-notice is served within that period, the question whether the owner shall be required to sell only the land subject to the notice to treat shall, unless the undertaker agrees to take the land subject to the counter-notice, be referred to the tribunal.

the owner shall be required to sell the land subject to the notice to treat.
(6) If on such a reference the tribunal determine that only part of the land subject to the notice to treat can be taken—
(a)without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice, or
(b)in the case of part of land consisting of a house with a park or garden, without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice and without seriously affecting the amenity and convenience of the house,
the notice to treat shall be deemed to be a notice to treat for that part.
(7) If on such a reference the tribunal determine that—
(a)the land subject to the notice to treat cannot be taken without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice, but
(b)the material detriment is confined to a part of the land subject to the counter-notice,
the notice to treat shall be deemed to be a notice to treat for the land to which the material detriment is confined in addition to the land already subject to the notice, whether or not the additional land is land which the undertaker is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order.
(8) If the undertaker agrees to take the land subject to the counter-notice, or if the tribunal determine that—
(a)none of the land subject to the notice to treat can be taken without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice or, as the case may be, without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice and without seriously affecting the amenity and convenience of the house, and
(b)the material detriment is not confined to a part of the land subject to the counter-notice,
the notice to treat shall be deemed to be a notice to treat for the land subject to the counter-notice whether or not the whole of that land is land which the undertaker is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order.
(9) In any case where by virtue of a determination by the tribunal under this article a notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for less land or more land than that specified in the notice, the undertaker may, within the period of 6 weeks beginning with the day on which the determination is made, withdraw the notice to treat; and if it does so shall pay to the owner compensation for any loss or expense occasioned to him by the giving and withdrawal of the notice, to be determined in case of dispute by the tribunal.
(10) Where the owner is required under this article to sell only part of a house, building or factory or of land consisting of a house with a park or garden, the undertaker shall pay him compensation for any loss sustained by him due to the severance of that part in addition to the value of the interest acquired.
13.—(1) All private rights of way over land subject to compulsory acquisition under this Order shall be extinguished—
(a)as from the acquisition of the land by the undertaker, whether compulsorily or by agreement, or
(b)on the entry on the land by the undertaker under section 11(1) of the 1965 Act,
whichever is sooner.
(2) All private rights of way over land owned by the undertaker which, being within the limits of land which may be acquired shown on the land plans, is required for the purposes of this Order shall be extinguished on the appropriation of the land for any of those purposes by the undertaker.
(3) All private rights of way over land of which the undertaker takes temporary possession under this Order shall be suspended and unenforceable for as long as the undertaker remains in lawful possession of the land.
(4) Any person who suffers loss by the extinguishment or suspension of any private right of way under this article shall be entitled to compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part I of the Land Compensation Act 1961.
14. The powers conferred by this Order to acquire any land shall be deemed to have been exercised if, before the end of the period of 5 years beginning on the day on which this Order comes into force, notice to treat has been served in respect of the land but, subject thereto, the powers shall cease to have effect at the end of that period.
15.—(1) In its application to Railtrack PLC, section 18 (for protection of British Railways Board) of the 1994 Act shall apply to the works authorised by, and the exercise of the powers of, this Order as it applies to the works authorised by, and the exercise of the powers of, the 1994 Act.
(2) For the purposes of such application section 18 of the 1994 Act shall have effect as if—

(b)references to the Executive were references to the undertaker;
(c)references to the 1994 Act were references to this Order; and
(d)references in paragraph (19) to Works Nos. 1 and 5 authorised by the 1994 Act were references to the scheduled works.
(3) the undertaker shall not in the exercise of the powers of article 10 above appropriate any works of Railtrack PLC in or over Mumps.
(4) The compensation payable under paragraph (18) of section 18 of the Act of 1994, as applied by paragraph (1) above, shall include a sum equivalent to the relevant costs.
(5) Subject to the terms of any agreement between Railtrack PLC and any train operators regarding the terms of payment of the relevant costs in respect of that train operator, Railtrack PLC shall promptly pay to each train operator the amount of any compensation which Railtrack PLC receives under this paragraph which relates to the relevant costs of that train operator.
(6) The obligation under paragraph (4) above to pay Railtrack PLC the relevant costs shall, in the event of default, be enforceable directly by the train operator concerned to the extent that such sums would be payable to that operator pursuant to paragraph (5) above.
(7) In this article—
“relevant costs” means the costs, direct losses and expenses (including loss of revenue) reasonably incurred by each train operator as a consequence of any restriction of use of Railtrack PLC’s railway network as a result of the construction or maintenance of the specified works or any such failure, act or omission as is mentioned in the said paragraph (18) as applied by paragraph (1) above; and
“train operator” means any person who operates trains in accordance with a licence under section 8 of the Railways Act 1993(11) or an exemption order under section 7 of that Act.
16. The undertaker shall, as soon as practicable after the making of this Order, submit copies of the book of reference, the sections, the land plans and the work plans to the Secretary of State for certification that they are true copies of, respectively, the book of reference, sections and plans referred to in this Order; and a document so certified shall be admissible in any proceedings as evidence of the contents of the document of which it is a copy.

(2) In section 44(1) (compensation for injurious affection), as it applies to compensation or injurious affection under section 7 of the 1965 Act as substituted by paragraph 4 below—

4. For section 7 of the 1965 Act (measure of compensation) there shall be substituted the following section—
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 to be acquired is depreciated by the acquisition of the right but also to the damage (if any) to be sustained by the owner of the land by reason of its severance from other land of his, or injuriously affecting that other land by the exercise of the powers conferred by this or the special Act.”.
5. For section 8 of the 1965 Act (provisions as to divided land) there shall be substituted the following—
(1) Where in consequence of the service on a person under 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 (“the relevant land”)—

(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 Greater Manchester (Light Rapid Transit System) (Mumps Surface Crossing) Order 2001 (“the Order”) 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 the Order is deemed to authorise the purchase of an interest by virtue of subsection (1) of this section 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 the 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 withdrawn the notice.”.
6. The following provisions of the 1965 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), that is to say—
(a)section 9(4) (failure by owners to convey),
(b)paragraph 10(3) of Schedule 1 (owners under incapacity),
(c)paragraph 2(3) of Schedule 2 (absent and untraced owners), and

8. Section 20 of the 1965 Act (protection for interests of tenants at will etc.) shall apply with the modifications necessary to secure that persons with such interests in land as are mentioned in that section are compensated in a manner corresponding to that in which they would be compensated on a compulsory acquisition under this Order of that land, but taking into account only the extent (if any) of such interference with such an interest as is actually caused, or likely to be caused, by the exercise of the right in question.
9. Section 22 of the 1965 Act (protection of acquiring authority’s possession where by inadvertence an estate, right or interest has not been got in) 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 acquired, subject to compliance with that section as respects compensation.
