52 Information for occupiers

(1) A new town corporation shall, as soon as practicable after directions have been given to them under section 44 above to make a transfer scheme, take such steps as they consider appropriate for drawing the attention of occupiers of buildings and other land in any area which is likely to be affected by the scheme to the possibility of the scheme and the way in which the scheme is likely to affect them.

(2) As soon as practicable after a transfer scheme is approved or made by the Secretary of State the new town corporation whose land is transferred by the scheme or is the subject of management arrangements included in the scheme shall take such steps as they consider appropriate to secure that all occupiers of the land are informed of the way in which they are affected by the scheme or arrangements.

(3) As soon as practicable after a transfer scheme is approved or made by the Secretary of State any district council to whom land is transferred by the scheme or by whom any land is to be managed in pursuance of management arrangements included in the scheme shall publish in at least one local newspaper circulating in the area of the new town a notice which—

(a) states that the scheme has been approved or made and the date on which it was approved or made; and

(b) specifies at least one place in that area where a document describing the scheme's provisions and identifying the property affected by the scheme or arrangements can be inspected.
