(b)the standard of maintenance appropriate for a highway of that character and used by such traffic;
(c)the state of repair in which a reasonable person would have expected to find the highway;
(d)whether the Authority knew, or could reasonably have been expected to know, that the condition of the part of the highway to which the action relates was likely to cause danger to users of the highway; and
(e)where the Authority could not reasonably have been expected to repair that part of the highway before the cause of action arose, what warning notices of its condition had been displayed,
but for the purposes of such a defence it is not relevant that the Authority had arranged for a competent person to carry out or supervise the maintenance of that part of the highway to which the action relates unless it is also proved that the Authority had given the competent person proper instructions with regard to the maintenance of the highway and that the competent person had carried out those instructions.
17. If the Authority abandons the construction of, or permanently ceases to operate any of, the authorised street tramway ("the discontinued tramway"), it must as soon as reasonably practicable and unless otherwise agreed with the street authority-
(a)remove from any street in which the discontinued tramway is laid the rails and any other works, equipment and apparatus which have become redundant; and
(b)restore, to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority, the portion of the street along which the discontinued tramway was laid, or redundant works, equipment and apparatus were laid, regard being had to-
(i)the condition of the street before the tramway was laid; and
(ii)the nature of the traffic using the street at the time of the discontinuance.
18.-(1) A street authority and the Authority may enter into agreements with respect to-

(e)the execution in the street of any of the works referred to in article 12 (power to execute street works).
(2) Such an agreement may, without limitation on the scope of paragraph (1)-
(a)provide for the street authority to carry out any function under this Order which relates to the street in question; and
(b)contain such terms as to payment and otherwise as the parties consider appropriate.

(3) Any traffic sign placed under this article on or near a highway or other road to which the public has access is to be treated for the purposes of section 64(4)(37) (general provisions as to traffic signs) of the 1984 Act as having been placed as provided by that Act.

21.-(1) The Authority may use any watercourse or any public sewer or drain for the drainage of water in connection with the construction, operation or maintenance of the authorised works and for that purpose may lay down, take up and alter pipes and may, on any land within the Order limits, or the limits of deviation in any street along which the authorised tramway is authorised to be laid, make openings into, and connections with, the watercourse, sewer or drain.
(2) Any dispute arising from the exercise of the power conferred by paragraph (1) to connect to or use a public sewer or drain is to be determined as if it were a dispute under section 106 (right to communicate with public sewers) of the Water Industry Act 1991(38).
(3) The Authority must not discharge any water into any watercourse, public sewer or drain except with the consent of the person to whom it belongs; and such consent may be given subject to such terms and conditions as that person may reasonably impose but must not be unreasonably withheld.

(6) Where notice is served under paragraph (5)(a), (5)(c) or (5)(d), the owner or occupier of the building or land concerned may, by serving a counter-notice within the period of 10 days beginning with the day on which the notice was served, require the question of whether it is necessary or expedient to carry out the safeguarding works or to enter the building or land to be referred to arbitration under article 53 (arbitration).

(b)within the period of 5 years beginning with the day on which the part of the authorised works constructed within the vicinity of the building is first opened for use, it appears that the safeguarding works are inadequate to protect the building against damage caused by the construction or operation of that part of the works,
the Authority must compensate the owners and occupiers of the building for any damage sustained by them.

Article 31
1. The enactments for the time being in force with respect to compensation for the compulsory purchase of land apply, with the necessary modifications as respects compensation, in the case of a compulsory acquisition under this Order of a right by the creation of a new right as they apply as respects compensation on the compulsory purchase of land and interests in land.
2.-(1) Without limitation on the scope of paragraph 1, the 1961 Act has effect subject to the modification set out in sub-paragraph (2).
(2) For section 5A(5A) (relevant valuation date) of the 1961 Act, substitute-
"(5A) If-
(a)the acquiring authority enters on land for the purpose of exercising a right in pursuance of a notice of entry under section 11(1) of the 1965 Act (as modified by paragraph 5(5) of Schedule 5 to the Midland Metro (Birmingham Eastside Extension) Order 2020(72) ("the 2020 Order)),
(b)the acquiring authority is subsequently required by a determination under paragraph 12 of Schedule 2A to the 1965 Act (as substituted by paragraph 5(8) of Schedule 5 to the 2020 Order) to acquire an interest in the land, and
(c)the acquiring authority enters on and takes possession of that land,
the authority is deemed for the purposes of subsection (3)(a) to have entered on that land where it entered on that land for the purpose of exercising that right."
3.-(1) Without limitation on the scope of paragraph 1, the Land Compensation Act 1973(73) has effect subject to the modifications set out in sub-paragraph (2).
(2) In section 44(1) (compensation for injurious affection), as it applies to compensation for injurious affection under section 7 (measure of compensation in case of severance) of the 1965 Act as substituted by paragraph 5(3)-
(a)for the words "land is acquired or taken" substitute "a right over land is purchased"; and
(b)for the words "acquired or taken from him" substitute "over which the right is exercisable".
4. Part 1 of the 1965 Act, as applied by article 29 (application of Part 1 of the 1965 Act) to the acquisition of land under article 28 (power to acquire land), applies to the compulsory acquisition of a right by the creation of a new right under article 31(1) (power to acquire new rights)-
(a)with the modification specified in paragraph 5; and
(b)with such other modifications as may be necessary.
5.-(1) The modifications referred to in paragraph 4(a) are as follows.
(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
(b)the land over which the right is or is to be exercisable.
(3) For section 7 (measure of compensation in case of severance) of the 1965 Act substitute-
"7. 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 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 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 is vested absolutely in the acquiring authority.
(5) Section 11(74) (powers of entry) of the 1965 Act is modified so as to secure that, where the acquiring authority has served notice to treat in respect of any right, as well as the notice of entry required by subsection (1) of that section (as it applies to a compulsory acquisition under article 29(1)), it has power, exercisable in the equivalent circumstances and subject to the equivalent conditions, to enter for the purpose of exercising that right; and sections 11A(75) (powers of entry: further notices of entry), 11B(76) (counter-notice requiring possession to be taken on specified date), 12(77) (penalty for unauthorised entry) and 13(78) (entry on warrant in the event of obstruction) of the 1965 Act are modified correspondingly.
(6) Section 20(79) (protection for interests of 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 in question.
(7) Section 22 (interests omitted from purchase) of the 1965 Act (as modified by article 29(7) is 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 to the 1965 Act substitute-
1. This Schedule applies where an acquiring authority serve a notice to treat in respect of a right over the whole or part of a house, building or factory.
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 decide to refer the counter-notice to the Upper Tribunal they must do so within the decision period.
8. If the acquiring authority do not serve notice of a decision within the decision period they are to be treated as if they had served notice of a decision to withdraw the notice to treat at the end of that period.
9. If the acquiring authority serve 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 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,
(b)the proposed use of the right, and
(c)if the right is proposed to be acquired 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 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 they 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."

(b)to secure that its efficiency for flood defence purposes is not impaired and that the risk of flooding is not otherwise increased,
by reason of any specified work.
4.-(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), any specified work, and all protective works required by the Agency under paragraph 3, must be constructed-
(a)without unreasonable delay in accordance with the plans approved or deemed to have been approved or settled under this Schedule; and
(b)to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agency,
and an officer of the Agency is entitled to watch and inspect the construction of such works.
(2) The Authority must give to the Agency not less than 14 days' notice in writing of its intention to commence construction of any specified work and notice in writing of its completion not later than 7 days after the date on which it is brought into use.
(3) If any part of a specified work or any protective work required by the Agency is constructed otherwise than in accordance with the requirements of this Schedule, the Agency may by notice in writing require the Authority at the Authority's own expense to comply with the requirements of this Schedule or (if the Authority so elects and the Agency in writing consents, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to remove, alter or pull down the work and, where removal is required, to restore the site to its former condition to such extent and within such limits as the Agency reasonably requires.
(4) Subject to sub-paragraph (5) and paragraph 7, if within a reasonable period, being not less than 28 days from the date when a notice under sub-paragraph (3) is served upon the Authority, it has failed to begin taking steps to comply with the requirements of the notice and subsequently to make reasonably expeditious progress towards their implementation, the Agency may execute the works specified in the notice and any expenditure incurred by it in so doing is recoverable from the Authority.
(5) In the event of any dispute as to whether sub-paragraph (3) is properly applicable to any work in respect of which notice has been served under that sub-paragraph, or as to the reasonableness of any requirement of such a notice, the Agency must not except in emergency exercise the powers conferred by sub-paragraph (4) until the dispute has been finally determined.
5.-(1) Subject to the provisions of this Schedule and except to the extent that the Agency or another person is liable to maintain any such work and is not precluded by the exercise of the powers conferred by this Order from so doing, the Authority must from the commencement of the construction of the specified works maintain in good repair and condition and free from obstruction any drainage work which is situated within the limits of deviation or on land held by the Authority for the purposes of or in connection with the specified works, whether or not the drainage work is constructed under the powers conferred by this Order or is already in existence.
(2) If any such drainage work which the Authority is liable to maintain is not maintained to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agency, the Agency may by notice in writing require the Authority to repair and restore the work, or any part of such work, or (if the Authority so elects and the Agency in writing consents, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to remove the work and restore the site to its former condition, to such extent and within such limits as the Agency reasonably requires.
(3) Subject to paragraph 7, if, within a reasonable period being not less than 28 days beginning with the date on which a notice in respect of any drainage work is served under sub-paragraph (2) on the Authority, the Authority has failed to begin taking steps to comply with the reasonable requirements of the notice and has not subsequently made reasonably expeditious progress towards their implementation, the Agency may do what is necessary for such compliance and may recover any expenditure reasonably incurred by it in so doing from the Authority.
(4) In the event of any dispute as to the reasonableness of any requirement of a notice served under sub-paragraph (2), the Agency must not except in a case of emergency exercise the powers conferred by sub-paragraph (3) until the dispute has been finally determined.
6. Subject to paragraph 7, if by reason of the construction of any specified work or of the failure of any such work the efficiency of any drainage work for flood defence purposes is impaired, or that drainage work is otherwise damaged, such impairment or damage must be made good by the Authority to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agency and if the Authority fails to do so, the Agency may make good the impairment or damage and recover from the Authority the expense reasonably incurred by it in doing so.
7. Nothing in paragraphs 4(4), 5(3) and 6 authorises the Agency to execute works on or affecting the authorised works.
8. The Authority must indemnify the Agency in respect of all costs, charges and expenses which the Agency may reasonably incur or have to pay or which it may sustain-
(a)in the examination or approval of plans under this Schedule; and
(b)in the inspection of the construction of the specified works or any protective works required by the Agency under this Schedule.
9.-(1) Without affecting the other provisions of this Schedule, the Authority must indemnify the Agency from all claims, demands, proceedings, costs, damages, expenses or loss, which may be made or taken against, recovered from, or incurred by, the Agency by reason of-
(a)any damage to any drainage work so as to impair its efficiency for the purposes of flood defence;
(b)any raising or lowering of the water table in land adjoining the authorised works or any sewers, drains and watercourses;
(c)any flooding or increased flooding of any such lands; or
(d)inadequate water quality in any watercourse or in any groundwater,
which is caused by the construction of any of the specified works or any act or omission of the Authority, its contractors, agents or employees whilst engaged upon the work.
(2) The Agency must give to the Authority reasonable notice of any such claim or demand and no settlement or compromise may be made without the agreement of the Authority which agreement must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
10. The fact that any work or thing has been executed or done by the Authority in accordance with a plan approved or deemed to be approved by the Agency, or to its satisfaction, or in accordance with any directions or award of an arbitrator, does not relieve the Authority from any liability under the provisions of this Schedule.
11. Any dispute arising between the Authority and the Agency under this Schedule, if the parties agree, is to be determined by arbitration under article 53 (arbitration), but otherwise is to be determined by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Secretary of State for Transport acting jointly on a reference to them by the Authority or the Agency, after notice in writing by one to the other.
