Head of the Transport and Works Act Processing Unit Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions.

9th April 2002

(a) for the words "land is acquired or taken" there shall be substituted the words "a right over land is purchased"; and

(b) for the words "acquired or taken from him" there shall be substituted the words "over which the right is exercisable".

    (3) In section 58(1) (determination of material detriment where part of house etc. proposed for compulsory acquisition), as it applies to determinations under section 8 of the 1965 Act as substituted by paragraph 5 below - 

(a) for the word "part" in paragraphs (a) and (b) there shall be substituted the words "a right over land consisting";

(b) for the word "severance" there shall be substituted the words "right over the whole of the house, building or manufactory or of the house and the park or garden";

(c) for the words "part proposed" there shall be substituted the words "right proposed"; and

(d) for the words "part is" there shall be substituted the words "right is".

Adaptation of the 1965 Act

     3.  - (1) The 1965 Act shall have effect with the modifications necessary to make it apply to the compulsory acquisition under this Order of a right by the creation of a new right as it applies to the compulsory acquisition under this Order of land, so that, in appropriate contexts, references in that Act to land are 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

(b) the land over which the right is or is to be exercisable.

    (2) Without prejudice to the generality of sub-paragraph (1) above, Part I of the 1965 Act shall apply in relation to the compulsory acquisition under this Order of a right by the creation of a new right with the modifications specified in the following provisions of this Schedule.

     4. For section 7 of the 1965 Act (measure of compensation) there shall be substituted the following section: - 

     " 7. 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: - 

     " 8.  - (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") - 


(a) a question of disputed compensation in respect of the purchase of the right would apart from this section fall to be determined by the Lands Tribunal ("the tribunal"); and

(b) before the tribunal has determined that question the person satisfies the tribunal that he has an interest which he is able and willing to sell in the whole of the relevant land and - 


(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 Docklands Light Railway (Silvertown and London City Airport Extension) Order 2002 ("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 withdraw 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

(d) paragraphs 2(3) and 7(2) of Schedule 4 (common land);

shall be so modified 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 is vested absolutely in the acquiring authority.

     7. Section 11 of the 1965 Act (powers of entry) shall be so modified as to secure that, as from the date on which the acquiring authority have served notice to treat in respect of any right, they have power, exercisable in the like circumstances and subject to the like conditions, to enter for the purpose of exercising that right (which shall be deemed for this purpose to have been created on the date of service of the notice); and sections 12 (penalty for unauthorised entry) and 13 (entry on warrant in the event of obstruction) of the 1965 Act shall be modified correspondingly.

     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.

(b) the doing of any other work or thing rendered necessary by the execution of relocation works.

(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 available type, capacity or dimension; 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,

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 DLRL, or, in default of agreement, is not determined by arbitration to be necessary in consequence of the construction of the authorised works in order to ensure the continued efficient operation of the undertaking of the statutory utility, then, if it involves cost in the execution of the relocation works 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 the statutory utility by virtue of sub-paragraph (4) above shall be reduced by the amount of that excess.

    (6) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (5) above - 

(a) an extension of apparatus to a length greater than the length of existing apparatus shall not be treated as a placing of apparatus of greater dimensions than those of the existing apparatus except in a case where the apparatus as so extended provides more than an equivalent service; and

(b) where the provision of a joint in a cable is agreed, or is determined to be necessary, the consequential provision of a jointing chamber or of a manhole shall be treated as if it also had been agreed or had been so determined.

    (7) An amount which apart from this sub-paragraph would be payable to a statutory utility in respect of works by virtue of sub-paragraph (4) above (and having regard, where relevant, to sub-paragraph (5) above) shall, if the works include the placing of apparatus provided in substitution for apparatus placed more than 7 years and 6 months earlier so as to confer on the utility any financial benefit by deferment of the time for renewal of the apparatus in the ordinary course, be reduced by the amount which represents that benefit as calculated in accordance with the Code of Practice entitled "Measures Necessary where Apparatus is Affected by Major Works (Diversionary Works)" and dated June 1992 and approved by the Secretary of State on 30th June 1992, as revised and re-issued from time to time.

    (8) Sub-paragraphs (4) to (7) above shall not apply where the authorised works constitute major transport works for the purposes of Part III of the 1991 Act, but instead - 

(a) the allowable costs of the relocation works shall be determined in accordance with section 85 of that Act (sharing of costs of necessary measures) and any regulations for the time being having effect under that section; and

(b) the allowable costs shall be borne by DLRL and the statutory utility in such proportions as may be prescribed by any such regulations.

    (9) The temporary stopping up, alteration or diversion of any highway under article 10 of this Order shall not affect any right of a public telecommunications operator under paragraph 9 of the telecommunications code in respect of any apparatus which at the time of the stopping up or diversion is in the highway.

Before commencing to construct any authorised work which will involve highway operations, DLRL shall consult the Council as to the time when that work will be commenced, as to the extent of the surface of the highway which it may be reasonably necessary for DLRL to occupy in the construction of that work, and as to the conditions under which that work shall be constructed so as not to cause so far as possible inconvenience to the public and to ensure the safety of the public.

     5. Any such highway shall be reinstated by DLRL in a manner reasonably approved by the Council and to its reasonable satisfaction.

     6. DLRL shall not, except with the consent of the Council, deposit any soil, subsoil or materials or stand any vehicle or plant on any highway (except on so much thereof as is for the time being temporarily stopped up or occupied under the powers of this Order) so as to obstruct the use of such highway by any person or, except with the like consent, deposit any soil, subsoil or materials on any highway except within a hoarding.

     7. Except in an emergency or where reasonably necessary to secure the safety of the public no direction or instruction shall be given by the Council to the contractors, servants or agents of DLRL regarding any highway operations without the prior consent in writing of DLRL; but the Council shall not be liable for any additional costs which may be incurred as a result of the giving of instructions or directions pursuant to this paragraph.

     8. DLRL shall, if reasonably so required by the Council, provide and maintain during such time as DLRL may occupy any part of a highway for the purpose of the construction of any part of the authorised works, temporary ramps for vehicular traffic or pedestrian traffic, or both, and any other traffic measures required to protect the safety of road users in accordance with the standard recommended in Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual issued for the purposes of the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 1994[33] in such position as may be necessary to prevent undue interference with the flow of traffic in any highway.

     9. DLRL shall indemnify the Council against any claim which may arise as a result of any subsidence of, or damage to, any highway or any retained sanitary convenience, refuge, sewer, drain, lamp column, traffic sign, bollard, bin for refuse or road materials or apparatus connected therewith or any other property or work belonging to, or under the jurisdiction or control of, the council on or under any highway, or maintainable by them, which may be caused by, or in consequence of, any act or default of DLRL, its contractors, servants or agents but the Council shall give to DLRL reasonable notice of any such claim and no settlement or compromise of it shall be made without DLRL's prior consent.

     10. Wherever in this Schedule provision is made with respect to the approval or consent of the Council, that approval or consent shall be in writing and may be given subject to such reasonable terms and conditions as the Council may require in the interests of safety and in order to minimise inconvenience to persons using the highway, but shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(a) alternative apparatus of better type, or 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 alternative apparatus) is placed at a depth greater than the depth at which the existing apparatus was situated;



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 DLRL or, in default of agreement, is not determined by arbitration to be necessary having regard, inter alia, to the nature of the authorised works, then, if such placing involves cost in the construction of works under paragraphs 9 to 12 above 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 paragraph would be payable to the specified undertaker by virtue of paragraph 32 above shall be reduced by the amount of that excess.

     35. For the purposes of paragraph 34 above - 



(a) an extension of apparatus to a length greater than the length of existing apparatus shall not be treated as a placing of apparatus of greater dimensions than those of the existing apparatus except in a case where the apparatus as so extended serves a purpose (either additional to or instead of that served by the existing apparatus) which was not served by the existing apparatus; and

(b) 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 shall be treated as if it also had been agreed or had been so determined.



     36. An amount which apart from this paragraph would be payable to the specified undertaker in respect of works by virtue of paragraphs 32 to 35 above shall, if the works include the placing of apparatus provided in substitution for apparatus placed more than 7 years and 6 months earlier so as to confer on the specified undertaker any financial benefit by deferment of the time for renewal of the apparatus or of the system of which it forms part in the ordinary course, be reduced by the amount which represents that benefit as calculated in accordance with the Code of Practice entitled "Measures Necessary where Apparatus is Affected by Major Works (Diversionary Works)" and dated June 1992 and approved by the Secretary of State on 30th June 1992, as revised and re-issued from time to time.

     37. In any case where work is carried out by DLRL pursuant to paragraphs 14 to 16 above and, if such work had been carried out by the specified undertaker, the repayment made to the specified undertaker under paragraph 32 above would fall to be reduced pursuant to paragraphs 34 to 36 above, the specified undertaker shall pay to DLRL such sum as represents the amount of that reduction.



Indemnity
     38. If, by reason or in consequence of the construction, maintenance or failure of any of the authorised works, including any works carried out by DLRL pursuant to paragraph 14 above or protective works required by a condition imposed under paragraph 23(a) above or required under paragraph 25(b) above, or any subsidence resulting from any of those works, any damage shall be caused to any 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 other property of the specified undertaker, or there is any interruption in any service provided by the specified undertaker, DLRL shall repay the cost reasonably incurred by the specified undertaker in making good such damage, or restoring the supply, and shall - 


(a) make reasonable compensation to the specified undertaker for any loss sustained by it; and

(b) indemnify the specified undertaker against all claims, demands, proceedings, costs, damages and expenses which may be made or taken against or recovered from, or incurred by, the specified undertaker;



by reason or in consequence of any such damage or interruption; and the fact that any act or thing may have been done by the specified undertaker on behalf of DLRL or in accordance with plans approved by the specified undertaker or in accordance with any requirement of the specified undertaker or under its supervision shall not, subject to paragraph 39 below, excuse DLRL from any liability under the provisions of this paragraph.

     39. Nothing in paragraph 38 above shall impose any liability on DLRL with respect to any damage or interruption to the extent that such damage or interruption is attributable to the neglect or default of the specified undertaker, its officers, servants, contractors or other agents.

     40. The specified undertaker shall give to DLRL reasonable notice of any claim or demand as aforesaid and no settlement or compromise thereof shall be made without the prior consent of DLRL which shall not be unreasonably withheld.



Exercise of safeguarding and survey powers
     41. DLRL shall, so far as is reasonably practicable, so exercise the powers conferred by article 16 of this Order as not to obstruct or render less convenient the access to any apparatus.

     42. DLRL shall not, in the exercise of the powers of section 11(3) of the 1965 Act, as applied by this Order, or of article 18 of this Order, make any trial holes which interfere with any apparatus without the consent of the specified undertaker (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).

Arbitration
     43. Any difference arising between DLRL and a specified undertaker under this Schedule (other than a difference as to its meaning or construction) shall be determined by arbitration in the manner provided by article 48 of this Order and in determining any difference under this Schedule the arbitrator may, if he thinks fit, require DLRL to execute any temporary or other works so as to avoid, so far as may be reasonably possible, interference with the use of any apparatus.

Transfer of powers
     44. DLRL shall give notice to every specified undertaker if any of the powers of DLRL under this Order are transferred to another person in accordance with article 41 of this Order and any such notice shall be given within 14 days of any such transfer becoming effective and shall describe or give (as appropriate) - 


(a) the nature of the functions to be transferred;

(b) the extent of that transfer;

(c) the geographical area to which the transfer relates;

(d) the name and address of the transferee; and

(e) the effective date of the transfer.



     45. The obligation to give notice under paragraph 44 above to a successor in title to a specified undertaker named in paragraph 1 above shall only apply to the extent that DLRL has been informed by notice in writing by that named undertaker, or by a successor in title to that named undertaker, as the case may be, of the name and address of that successor in title.



Notices
     46. Any notice in writing to be given by DLRL to a specified undertaker under this Schedule shall be deemed effectively given if sent by recorded delivery or by registered letter addressed to the registered office of that specified undertaker.
