11.—(1) In assessing the compensation payable to any person on the acquisition from that person of any land under this Order, the tribunal must not take into account—
(a)any interest in land; or
(b)any enhancement of the value of any interest in land by reason of any building erected, works executed or improvement or alteration made on relevant land,
if the tribunal is satisfied that the creation of the interest, the erection of the building, the execution of the works or the making of the improvement or alteration was not reasonably necessary and was undertaken with a view to obtaining compensation or increased compensation.
(2) In paragraph (1) “relevant land” means the land acquired from the person concerned or any other land with which that person is, or was at the time when the building was erected, the works executed or the improvement or alteration made, directly or indirectly concerned.
12.—(1) In assessing the compensation payable to any person in respect of the acquisition from that person under this Order of any land (including the subsoil) the tribunal must set off against the value of the land so acquired any increase in value of any contiguous or adjacent land belonging to that person in the same capacity which will accrue to him by reason of the construction of the authorised works.
(2) In assessing the compensation payable to any person in respect of the acquisition from that person of any new rights over land (including the subsoil) under article 10 (power to acquire new rights), the tribunal must set off against the value of the rights so acquired—
(a)any increase in the value of the land over which the new rights are required; and
(b)any increase in value of any contiguous or adjacent land belonging to that person in the same capacity,
which will accrue to that person by reason of the construction of the authorised works.
(3) The 1961 Act has effect, subject to paragraphs (1) and (2), as if this Order were a local enactment for the purposes of that Act.
13.—(1) This article applies instead of section 8(1) (11) (other provisions as to divided land) of the 1965 Act (as applied by article 8 (application of Part 1 of the 1965 Act) in any case where—
(a)a notice to treat is served on a person (“the owner”) under the 1965 Act (as so applied) in respect of land forming part only of a house, building or manufactory or part only of land consisting of a house with a park or garden (“the land subject to the notice to treat”); and
(b)a copy of this article is served on the owner with the notice to treat.
(2) In such a case, the owner may, within the period of 21 days beginning with the day on which the notice was served, serve on the Secretary of State a counter-notice objecting to the sale of the land subject to the notice to treat which states that the owner is willing and able to sell the whole (“the land subject to the counter-notice”).
(3) If no such counter-notice is served within that period, the owner must sell the land subject to the notice to treat.
(4) If such a counter-notice is served within that period, the question whether the owner must sell only the land subject to the notice to treat is, unless the Secretary of State agrees to take the land subject to the counter-notice, to be referred to the tribunal.
(5) If on such a reference the tribunal determine that the land subject to the notice to treat can be taken—
(a)without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice; or
(b)where the land subject to the notice to treat forms part of the land consisting of a house with a park or garden, without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice and without seriously affecting the amenity and convenience of the house,
the owner must sell the land subject to the notice to treat.
(6) If on such a reference the tribunal determine that only part of the land subject to the notice to treat can be taken—
(a)without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice; or
(b)where the land subject to the notice to treat forms part of land consisting of a house with a park or garden, without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice and without seriously affecting the amenity and convenience of the house,
the notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for that part.
(7) If on such a reference the tribunal determine that—
(a)the land subject to the notice to treat cannot be taken without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice; but
(b)the material detriment is confined to a part of the land subject to the counter-notice,
the notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for the land to which the material detriment is confined in addition to the land already subject to the notice, whether or not the additional land is land which the Secretary of State is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order.
(8) If the Secretary of State agrees to take the land subject to the counter-notice, or if the tribunal determine that—
(a)none of the land subject to the notice to treat can be taken without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice or, as the case may be, without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice and without seriously affecting the amenity and convenience of the house; and
(b)the material detriment is not confined to a part of the land subject to the counter-notice,
the notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for the land subject to the counter-notice whether or not the whole of that land is land which the Secretary of State is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order.
(9) In any case where by virtue of a determination by the tribunal under this article a notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for less land or more land than that specified in the notice, the Secretary of State may, within the period of 6 weeks beginning with the day on which the determination is made, withdraw the notice to treat; and if it does so must pay the owner compensation for any loss or expense occasioned to the owner by the giving and withdrawal of the notice, to be determined in case of dispute by the tribunal.
(10) Where the owner is required under this article to sell part only of a house, building or manufactory or part only of land consisting of a house with a park or garden, the Secretary of State must pay the owner compensation for any loss sustained by him due to the severance of that part in addition to the value of the interest acquired.
14.—(1) Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights of way over land subject to compulsory acquisition under this Order are extinguished—
(a)as from the date of acquisition of the land by the Secretary of State, whether compulsorily or by agreement; or
(b)on the date of entry on the land by the Secretary of State under section 11(1)(12) (powers of entry) of the 1965 Act,
whichever is the sooner.
(2) Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights of way over land owned by the Secretary of State and required for the purposes of this Order are extinguished on the appropriation of the land for any of those purposes by the Secretary of State.
(3) Any person who suffers loss by the extinguishment of any private right of way under this article is entitled to compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act.
(4) Subject to section 13 of the principal Act, this article does not apply in relation to any right of way to which section 271 or 272(13) of the 1990 Act (extinguishment of rights of statutory undertakers etc.) applies.
(5) Paragraphs (1) to (3) have effect subject to—
(a)any notice given by the Secretary of State before—
(i)the completion of the acquisition of the land;
(ii)the Secretary of State’s appropriation of it; or
(iii)the Secretary of State’s entry on to it,
provides that any or all of those paragraphs do not apply in relation to any right of way specified in the notice; and
(b)any agreement made at any time between the Secretary of State and the person in or to whom the right of way in question is vested or belongs.
(6) If any agreement referred to in paragraph (6)(b)—
(a)is made with a person in or to whom the right of way is vested or belongs; and
(b)is expressed to have effect also for the benefit of those deriving title from or under that person,
it is effective in respect of the persons so deriving title, whether the title was derived before or after the making of the agreement.
15. After the end of the period of 5 years beginning with the day on which this Order comes into force—
(a)no notice to treat is to be served under Part 1 of the 1965 Act as applied to the acquisition of land by article 8 (application of Part 1 of the 1965 Act); and
(b)no declaration is to be executed under section 4 (execution of declaration) of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 as applied by article 9 (application of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981)(14).
