4. Part 1 of the 1965 Act, as applied by section 125 (application of compulsory acquisition provisions) of the 2008 Act (and modified by article 28 (modification of Part 1 of the 1965 Act)) to the acquisition of land under article 23 (compulsory acquisition of land), applies to the compulsory acquisition of a right by the creation of a new right, or to the imposition of a restrictive covenant under article 26(1) (compulsory acquisition of rights and restrictive covenants)—E+W+S

5.—(1) The [F1modifications] referred to in paragraph 4(a) are as follows.E+W+S
(2) References in the 1965 Act to land are, in the appropriate contexts, to be read (according to the requirements of the particular context) as referring to, or as including references to—
(a)the right acquired or to be acquired, or the restrictive covenant imposed or to be imposed; or
(b)the land over which the right is or is to be exercisable, or the restrictive covenant is or is to be enforceable.
(3) For section 7 (measure of compensation in case of severance) of the 1965 Act substitute—
In assessing the compensation to be paid by the acquiring authority under this Act, regard must be had not only to the extent (if any) to which the value of the land over which the right is to be acquired or the restrictive covenant is to be imposed is depreciated by the acquisition of the right or the imposition of the covenant 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 the owner, or injuriously affecting that other land by the exercise of the powers conferred by this or the special Act.”.
(4) 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
(d)(paragraphs 2(3) and 7(2) of Schedule 4 (common land),
are modified so as to secure that, as against persons with interests in the land which are expressed to be overridden by the deed, the right which is to be compulsorily acquired or the restrictive covenant which is to be imposed is vested absolutely in the acquiring authority.
(5) Section 11 M9 (powers of entry) of the 1965 Act is modified so as to secure that, as from the date on which the acquiring authority has served notice to treat in respect of any right or restrictive covenant, as well as the notice of entry required by subsection (1) of that section (as it applies to a compulsory acquisition under article 23), it has power, exercisable in equivalent circumstances and subject to equivalent conditions, to enter for the purpose of exercising that right or enforcing that restrictive covenant; and sections 11A M10 (powers of entry: further notices of entry), 11B M11 (counter-notice requiring possession to be taken on specified date), 12 M12 (unauthorised entry) and 13 M13 (refusal to give possession to acquiring authority) of the 1965 Act are modified correspondingly.
(6) Section 20 M14 (tenants at will, etc.) of the 1965 Act applies 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 or the enforcement of the restrictive covenant in question.
(7) Section 22 (interests omitted from purchase) of the 1965 Act as modified by article 28(4) is also modified so 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.
(8) For Schedule 2A of the 1965 Act substitute—
1.—(1) This Schedule applies where an acquiring authority serves a notice to treat in respect of a right over, or restrictive covenant affecting, the whole or part of a house, building or factory and has not executed a general vesting declaration under section 4 of the 1981 Act as applied by article 29 (application of the 1981 Act) of the A1 Birtley to Coal House Development Consent Order 2021 in respect of the land to which the notice to treat relates.
(2) But see article 30(3) (acquisition of subsoil or airspace only) of the A1 Birtley to Coal House Development Consent Order 2021 which excludes the application of subsoil or airspace only from this Schedule.
2. In this Schedule, “house” includes any park or garden belonging to a house.
3. A person who is able to sell the house, building or factory (“the owner”) may serve a counter-notice requiring the acquiring authority to purchase the owner's interest in the house, building or factory.
4. A counter-notice under paragraph 3 must be served within the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the notice to treat was served.
5. On receiving a counter-notice, the acquiring authority must decide whether to—
(a)withdraw the notice to treat,
(b)accept the counter-notice, or
(c)refer the counter-notice to the Upper Tribunal.
6. The acquiring authority must serve notice of their decision on the owner within the period of 3 months beginning with the day on which the counter-notice is served (“the decision period”).
7. If the acquiring authority decides to refer the counter-notice to the Upper Tribunal it must do so within the decision period.
8. If the acquiring authority does not serve notice of a decision within the decision period it is to be treated as if it had served notice of a decision to withdraw the notice to treat at the end of that period.
9. If the acquiring authority serves notice of a decision to accept the counter-notice, the compulsory purchase order and the notice to treat are to have effect as if they included the owner's interest in the house, building or factory.
10. On a referral under paragraph 7, the Upper Tribunal must determine whether the acquisition of the right or the imposition of the restrictive covenant would—
(a)in the case of a house, building or factory, cause material detriment to the house, building or factory, or
(b)in the case of a park or garden, seriously affect the amenity or convenience of the house to which the park or garden belongs.
11. In making its determination, the Upper Tribunal must take into account—
(a)the effect of the acquisition of the right or the imposition of the covenant,
(b)the use to be made of the right or covenant proposed to be acquired or imposed, and
(c)if the right or covenant is proposed to be acquired or imposed for works or other purposes extending to other land, the effect of the whole of the works and the use of the other land.
12. If the Upper Tribunal determines that the acquisition of the right or the imposition of the covenant would have either of the consequences described in paragraph 10, it must determine how much of the house, building or factory the acquiring authority ought to be required to take.
13. If the Upper Tribunal determines that the acquiring authority ought to be required to take some or all of the house, building or factory, the compulsory purchase order and the notice to treat are to have effect as if they included the owner's interest in that land.
14.—(1) If the Upper Tribunal determines that the acquiring authority ought to be required to take some or all of the house, building or factory, the acquiring authority may at any time within the period of 6 weeks beginning with the day on which the Upper Tribunal makes its determination withdraw the notice to treat in relation to that land.
(2) If the acquiring authority withdraws the notice to treat under this paragraph it must pay the person on whom the notice was served compensation for any loss or expense caused by the giving and withdrawal of the notice.
(3) Any dispute as to the compensation is to be determined by the Upper Tribunal.”.

(3) Any requirements made by Northumbrian Water under sub-paragraph (2) must be made within a period of 28 days beginning with the date on which a plan, section and description under sub-paragraph (1) is submitted to it.
(4) If Northumbrian Water in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) and in consequence of the works proposed by the undertaker, reasonably requires the removal of any apparatus and gives written notice to the undertaker of that requirement, paragraphs 39 to 41 and 44 to 46 apply as if the removal of the apparatus had been required by the undertaker under paragraph 45(2).
(5) Nothing in this paragraph precludes the undertaker from submitting at any time or from time to time, but in no case less than 28 days before commencing the execution of any works, a new plan, section and description instead of the plan, section and description previously submitted, and having done so the provisions of this paragraph apply to and in respect of the new plan, section and description.
(6) The undertaker is not required to comply with sub-paragraph (1) in a case of emergency but in that case it must give, to Northumbrian Water, notice as soon as is reasonably practicable and a plan, section and description of those works as soon as reasonably practicable subsequently and must comply with sub-paragraph (2) in so far as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances.
(7) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), works are deemed to be in land near Northumbrian Water's apparatus (where it is a relevant pipe, as defined in section 158(7) (powers to lay pipes in streets) of the Water Industry Act 1991) if those works fall within the following distances measured from the edge of such apparatus—
(a)where it is a water main—
(i)3 metres where the diameter of the water main is up to and including 300 millimetres;
(ii)4.5 metres where the diameter of the water main is greater than 300 millimetres, up to and including 600 millimetres; and
(iii)6 metres where the diameter of the water main is greater than 600 millimetres; and
(b)where it is a sewer, 6.5 metres.

48.—(1) Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, the undertaker must repay to Northumbrian Water all costs, charges and expenses which Northumbrian Water may reasonably incur or have to pay or which it may sustain in, or in connection with, the inspection, removal, alteration or protection of any apparatus or the construction of any new apparatus which may be required in consequence of the execution of any such works as are referred to in paragraph 45(2), including any costs reasonably incurred in connection with the acquisition of rights under paragraph 45(3) and in watching and inspecting the execution of works under paragraph 47(2) and in making reasonable requirements under paragraph 47(3).E+W+S
(2) The value of any apparatus removed under the provisions of this Part of this Schedule is to be deducted from any sum payable under sub-paragraph (1), that value being calculated after removal.
(3) If in accordance with the provisions of this Part of this Schedule—
(a)apparatus of better type, of greater capacity or of greater dimensions is placed in substitution for existing apparatus of worse type, of smaller capacity or of smaller dimensions except where this has been solely due to using the nearest currently available type; or
(b)apparatus (whether existing apparatus or apparatus substituted for existing apparatus) is placed at a depth greater than the depth at which the existing apparatus was situated except where the placing of apparatus at a different depth is required solely to achieve an equivalent capability and function to the existing apparatus,
and the placing of apparatus of that type or capacity or of those dimensions or the placing of apparatus at that depth, as the case may be, is not agreed by the undertaker or, in default of agreement, is not determined by arbitration in accordance with article 46 (arbitration) to be necessary, then, if such placing involves cost in the construction of works under this Part of this Schedule exceeding that which would have been involved if the apparatus placed had been of the existing type, capacity or dimensions, or at the existing depth, as the case may be, the amount which apart from this sub-paragraph would be payable to Northumbrian Water in question by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) is to be reduced by the amount of that excess.
(4) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)—
(a)an extension of apparatus to a length greater than the length of existing apparatus is not to be treated as a placing of apparatus of greater dimensions than those of the existing apparatus;
(b)the provision of additional manholes, valves or wash-out pipes, where required to comply with design standards, must not be treated as a placing of apparatus of better type, of greater capacity or of greater dimensions than those of the existing apparatus; and
(c)where the provision of a joint in a pipe or cable is agreed, or is determined to be necessary, the consequential provision of a jointing chamber or of a manhole is to be treated as if it also had been agreed or had been so determined.
(5) An amount which apart from this sub-paragraph would be payable to Northumbrian Water in respect of works by virtue of sub-paragraph (1), if the works include the placing of apparatus provided in substitution for apparatus placed more than seven years and six months earlier so as to confer on Northumbrian Water any financial benefit by deferment of the time for renewal of the apparatus in the ordinary course, is to be reduced by the amount which represents that benefit.
(6) Subject to sub-paragraphs (7) and (8), if by reason or in consequence of the construction, maintenance or failure of any of the authorised development by or on behalf of the undertaker or any such works referred to in paragraphs 43, 45(2) or 47(1), or in consequence of any act or default of the undertaker (or any person employed or authorised by it) in the course of carrying out such works, or by reason of any subsidence resulting from such development or works, any damage is caused to any apparatus or alternative apparatus (other than apparatus the repair of which is not reasonably necessary in view of its intended removal for the purposes of those works) or property of Northumbrian Water, or there is any interruption in any service provided or of any access to any apparatus, or in the supply of any goods or services, by Northumbrian Water or the performance of Northumbrian Water's functions, or any disruption to the normal operation of Northumbrian Water's apparatus resulting in an increase in the costs incurred by Northumbrian Water in performing its functions or in any loss, damages or penalty or fines, or Northumbrian Water becoming liable to pay any amount to any third party, the undertaker must—
(a)bear and pay on demand the cost reasonably incurred by Northumbrian Water in making good such damage or restoring the supply or service;
(b)make reasonable compensation for any loss sustained by Northumbrian Water; and
(c)indemnify Northumbrian Water against claims, demands, proceedings, damages, penalty or costs incurred by or recovered from Northumbrian Water,
by reason or in consequence of any such damage or interruption or disruption or Northumbrian Water becoming liable to any third party as aforesaid.
(7) The fact that any act or thing may have been done by Northumbrian Water on behalf of the undertaker or in accordance with a plan approved by Northumbrian Water or in accordance with any requirement of Northumbrian Water or under its supervision does not, subject to paragraph 47(8), excuse the undertaker from liability under the provisions of paragraph 47(6).
(8) Nothing in paragraph 47(6) imposes any liability on the undertaker with respect to any damage or interruption to the extent that it is attributable to the act, neglect or default of Northumbrian Water, its officers, servants, contractors or agents.
(9) Northumbrian Water must give the undertaker reasonable notice of any such claim or demand and no settlement or compromise is to be made without the consent of the undertaker who, if withholding such consent, has the sole conduct of any settlement or compromise or of any proceedings necessary to resist the claim or demand.
(10) Any difference arising between the undertaker and Northumbrian Water under this Part of this Schedule must be referred to and settled by arbitration under article 46 (arbitration).

49. If in consequence of the exercise of the powers conferred by the Order the access to any apparatus or land owned by Northumbrian Water and used by it for the purpose of its statutory functions is materially obstructed, the undertaker must provide such alternative means of access to that apparatus or land as will enable Northumbrian Water to maintain or use the apparatus or use the land for the purpose of its statutory functions no less effectively than was possible before the obstruction.E+W+S

50.—(1) Where in consequence of the proposed construction of any of the authorised development, the undertaker or Northumbrian Water requires the removal of apparatus under paragraph 45(2) or Northumbrian Water makes requirements for the protection or alteration of apparatus under paragraph 47(2), the undertaker must use all reasonable endeavours to co-ordinate the execution of the works in the interests of safety and the efficient and economic execution of the authorised development and taking into account the need to ensure the safe and efficient operation of Northumbrian Water's undertaking and Northumbrian Water must use all reasonable endeavours to co-operate with the undertaker for that purpose.E+W+S
(2) Where the undertaker identifies any apparatus, which may belong to or be maintainable by Northumbrian Water but which does not appear on any statutory map kept for the purpose by Northumbrian Water, it shall inform Northumbrian Water of the existence and location of the apparatus as soon as reasonably practicable.
(3) Nothing in this Part of this Schedule affects the provisions of any enactment or agreement regulating the relations between the undertaker and Northumbrian Water in respect of any apparatus laid or erected in land belonging to the undertaker on the date on which this Order is made.
