Powers of acquisition
Application of Part I of the Compulsory Purchase Act 196519
1
Part I of the 1965 Act, insofar as not modified by, or inconsistent with, the provisions of this Order, applies to the acquisition of land under this Order as—
a
it applies to a compulsory purchase to which the Acquisition of Land Act 198112 applies; and
b
if this Order were a compulsory purchase order under that Act.
2
Part I of the 1965 Act, as so applied, has effect as if—
a
section 4 (which provides a time limit for compulsory purchase of land) and paragraph 3(3) of Schedule 3 (which makes provisions as to the giving of bonds) were omitted; and
b
in section 11(1) (which confers powers to enter on and to take possession of land subject to a notice to treat on giving not less than 14 days' notice), for the reference to 14 days' notice, there were substituted in—
i
a case where the notice to treat relates only to the acquisition of subsoil or the acquisition of an easement or other right over the land, a reference to notice of one month; or
ii
any other case, a reference to notice of 3 months.
