Where the authority on whom a listed building purchase notice is served by an owner or lessee propose to serve on him a notice in accordance with sub-paragraph (1)(c) of this paragraph F149then, before they take steps to serve that notice, they shall transmit to the Secretary of State a copy of the purchase notice together with a copy of the notice which they propose to serve under sub-paragraph (1)(c); and section 171 of this Act shall then apply in relation to the purchase notice as it applies in relation to a purchase notice under section 169 of this Act with the substitution for references therein to the Secretary of State taking action under section 172 of this Act of references to his taking action under paragraph 2 of this Schedule.
Action by Secretary of State in relation to listed building purchase notice
C12C13C142
1
Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, if the Secretary of State is satisfied that the conditions specified in section 179(1)(a) to (c) of this Act are fulfilled in relation to a listed building purchase notice, he shall confirm the notice:
Provided that, if he is satisfied that the said conditions are fulfilled only in respect of part of the land, he shall confirm the notice only in respect of that part and the notice shall have effect accordingly.
2
The Secretary of State shall not confirm the purchase notice unless he is satisfied that the land comprises such land contiguous or adjacent to the building as is in his opinion required for preserving the building or its amenities, or for affording access to it, or for its proper control or management.
3
If it appears to the Secretary of State to be expedient to do so in the case of a listed building purchase notice served on account of listed building consent being refused or granted subject to conditions, he may, in lieu of confirming the purchase notice, grant listed building consent for the works in respect of which the application was made or, where such consent for those works was granted subject to conditions, revoke or amend those conditions so far as it appears to him to be required in order to enable the land to be rendered capable of reasonably beneficial use by the carrying out of those works.
4
If it appears to the Secretary of State to be expedient to do so, in the case of a listed building purchase notice served on account of listed building consent being revoked or modified by an order under Part II of Schedule 10 to this Act, he may, in lieu of confirming the notice, cancel the order revoking the consent or, where the order modified the consent by the imposition of conditions, revoke or amend those conditions so far as appears to him to be required in order to enable the land to be rendered capable of reasonably beneficial use by the carrying out of the works in respect of which the consent was granted.
5
If it appears to the Secretary of State that the land, or any part of it, could be rendered capable of reasonably beneficial use within a reasonable time by the carrying out of any other works for which listed building consent ought to be granted, he may in lieu of confirming the listed building purchase notice or in lieu of confirming it so far as it relates to that part of the land, as the case may be, direct that listed building consent for those works shall be granted in the event of an application being made in that behalf.
6
If it appears to the Secretary of State that the land, or any part of the land, could be rendered capable of reasonably beneficial use within a reasonable time by the carrying out of any development for which planning permission ought to be granted, he may, in lieu of confirming the listed building purchase notice, or in lieu of confirming it so far as it relates to that part of the land, as the case may be, direct that planning permission for that development shall be granted in the event of an application being made in that behalf.
7
If it appears to the Secretary of State, having regard to the probable ultimate use of the building or the site thereof, that it is expedient to do so, he may, if he confirms the notice, modify it either in relation to the whole or in relation to any part of the land, by substituting another F150 planning authority or statutory undertakers for the authority on whom the notice was served.
8
In section 171 of this Act as applied by paragraph 1(3) of this Schedule, any reference to the taking of action by the Secretary of State under this paragraph is a reference to the taking by him of any such action as is mentioned in sub-paragraphs (1) or (3) to (7) of this paragraph, or to the taking by him of a decision not to confirm the purchase notice on the grounds that any of the conditions referred to in sub-paragraph (1) of this paragraph are not fulfilled.
Effect of Secretary of State’s action in relation to listed building purchase notice
C15C16C173
1
Where the Secretary of State confirms a listed building purchase notice, the authority on whom the notice was served (or, if under paragraph 2(7) of this Schedule the Secretary of State modified the notice by substituting another authority or statutory undertakers for that authority, that other authority or those statutory undertakers) shall be deemed to be authorised to acquire the relevant interest compulsorily in accordance with the provisions of section 104 of this Act and to have served a notice to treat in respect thereof on such date as the Secretary of State may direct.
2
If, before the end of the relevant period, the Secretary of State has neither confirmed the purchase notice nor taken any such action in respect thereof as is mentioned in sub-paragraphs (3) to (6) of paragraph 2 of this Schedule, and has not notified the owner or lessee by whom the notice was served that he does not propose to confirm the notice, the notice shall be deemed to be confirmed at the end of that period and the authority on whom the notice was served shall be deemed to have been authorised to acquire the relevant interest compulsorily in accordance with the provisions of section 104 of this Act and to have served a notice to treat in respect thereof at the end of that period.
3
In this paragraph—
a
“the relevant interest” means the owner’s or lessee’s interest in the land or, if the purchase notice is confirmed by the Secretary of State in respect of only part of the land, the owner’s or lessee’s interest in that part;
b
“the relevant period” is F151, subject to sub-paragraph (3A) of this paragraph, whichever of the following periods first expires, that is to say—
i
the period of nine months beginning with the date of the service of the purchase notice; and
ii
the period of six months beginning with the date on which a copy of the purchase notice was transmitted to the Secretary of State.
F1523A
The relevant period does not run if the Secretary of State has before him at the same time both a copy of the listed building purchase notice transmitted to him under paragraph 1(3) of this Schedule and an appeal notice under any of the following provisions of this Act relating to any of the land to which the purchase notice relates—
section 93 (appeal against listed building enforcement notice), or
paragraph 7 or 8 of Schedule 10 (appeal against refusal of listed building consent, &c.).
4
Where the Secretary of State has notified the owner or lessee by whom a listed building purchase notice has been served of a decision on his part to confirm, or not to confirm, the notice (including any decision to confirm the notice only in respect of part of the land, or to give any direction as to the granting of listed building consent) and that decision of the Secretary of State is quashed under the provisions of Part XII of this Act, the purchase notice shall be treated as cancelled, but the owner or lessee may serve a further listed building purchase notice in its place.
5
For the purposes of any regulations made under this Act as to the time within which a listed building purchase notice may be served, the service of a listed building purchase notice under sub-paragraph (4) of this paragraph shall not be treated as out of time if the notice is served within the period which would be applicable in accordance with these regulations if the decision to refuse listed building consent or to grant it subject to conditions (being the decision in consequence of which the notice is served) had been made on the date on which the decision of the Secretary of State was quashed as mentioned in sub-paragraph (4) of this paragraph.
Special provision as to compensation where listed building purchase notice served
4
Where in consequence of listed building consent being revoked or modified by an order under Part II of Schedule 10 to this Act, compensation is payable by virtue of section 161 of this Act in respect of expenditure incurred in carrying out any works to the building in respect of which the consent was granted, then if a listed building purchase notice is served in respect of an interest in the land, any compensation payable in respect of the acquisition of that interest in pursuance of the notice shall be reduced by an amount equal to the value of the works in respect of which compensation is payable by virtue of that section.

Part I Confirmation of Orders
1
1
Before an order under section F153198A, 199, F154, 201 or 203(1)(b) of this Act is submitted to the Secretary of State for confirmation or confirmed as an unopposed order, the authority by whom the order was made shall give notice in the prescribed form—
a
stating the general effect of the order and that it has been made and is about to be submitted for confirmation or to be confirmed as an unopposed order;
b
naming a place in the area in which the land to which the order relates is situated where a copy of the order may be inspected free of charge at all reasonable hours; and
c
specifying the time (not being less than twenty-eight days from the date of the first publication of the notice) within which, and the manner in which, representations or objections with respect to the order may be made.
2
Subject to sub-paragraph (3) of this paragraph, the notice to be given under sub-par agraph (1) of this paragraph shall be given—
a
by publication in the Edinburgh Gazette and in at least one local newspaper circulating in the area in which the land to which the order relates is situated; and
b
by serving a like notice on—
i
every owner, occupier and lessee (except tenants for a month or a period less than a month and statutory tenants within the meaning of the M8Rent (Scotland) Act 1971) of any of that land;
ii
every F155local authority whose area includes any of that land;
iii
any statutory undertakers to whom there belongs, or by whom there is used, for the purposes of their undertaking, any apparatus under, in, on, over, along or across that land; and
iv
any person named in the order by virtue of section 199(2)(d) of this Act; and
c
by causing a copy of the notice to be displayed in a prominent position at the ends of so much of any footpath or bridleway as is to be stopped up, diverted or extinguished by virtue of the order.
3
Except in the case of an owner, occupier or lessee being a local authority or statutory undertakers, the Secretary of State may in any particular case direct that it shall not be necessary to comply with sub-paragraph (2)(b)(i) of this paragraph; but if he so directs in the case of any land, then in addition to publication the notice shall be addressed to “the owners and any occupiers” of the land (describing it) and a copy or copies of the notice shall be affixed to some conspicuous object or objects on the land.
2
If no representations or objections are duly made, or if any so made are withdrawn, the authority by whom the order was made may, instead of submitting the order to the Secretary of State themselves confirm the order (but without any modification).
3
1
If any representation or objection duly made is not withdrawn, the Secretary of State shall, before confirming the order, if the objection is made by a local authority, cause a local inquiry to be held, and in any other case either—
a
cause a local inquiry to be held; or
b
afford to any person by whom any representation or objection has been duly made and not withdrawn an opportunity of being heard by a person appointed by the Secretary of State for the purpose,
and, after considering the report of the person appointed to hold the inquiry or to hear representations or objections, may confirm the order, with or without modifications:
Provided that in the case of an order under section F156198A, F157or 199 of this Act, if objection is made by statutory undertakers on the ground that the order provides for the creation of a public right of way over land covered by works used for the purpose of their undertaking, or over the curtilage of such land, and the objection is not withdrawn, the order shall be subject to special parliamentary procedure.
2
Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Secretary of State shall not confirm an order so as to affect land not affected by the order as submitted to him, except after—
a
giving such notice as appears to him requisite of his proposal so to modify the order, specifying the time (not being less than twenty-eight days from the date of the first publication of the notice) within which, and the manner in which, representations or objections with respect to the proposal may be made;
b
holding a local inquiry or affording to any person by whom any representation or objection has been duly made and not withdrawn an opportunity of being heard by a person appointed by the Secretary of State for the purpose; and
c
considering the report of the person appointed to hold the inquiry or to hear representations or objections as the case may be;
and, in the case of an order under section F156198A, F158or 199 of this Act, if objection is made by statutory undertakers on the ground that the order as modified would provide for the creation of a public right of way over land covered by works used for the purposes of their undertaking, or over the curtilage of such land, and the objection is not withdrawn, the order shall be subject to special parliamentary procedure.
4
1
The Secretary of State shall not confirm an order under section F159198A, 199, F160 or 201 of this Act which extinguishes a right of way over land under, in, on, over, along or across which there is any apparatus belonging to or used by statutory undertakers for the purposes of their undertaking, unless the undertakers have consented to the confirmation of the order; and any such consent may be given subject to the condition that there are included in the order such provisions for the protection of the undertakers as they may reasonably require.
2
The consent of statutory undertakers to any such order shall not be unreasonably withheld; and any question arising under this paragraph whether the withholding of consent is unreasonable, or whether any requirement is reasonable, shall be determined by whichever Minister is the appropriate Minister in relation to the statutory undertakers concerned.
5
Part II Publicity for Orders after Confirmation
6
As soon as may be after an order under section F163198A, 199, F164, 201 or 203(1)(b) of this Act has been confirmed by the Secretary of State or confirmed as an unopposed order, the authority by whom the order was made shall publish, in the manner required by paragraph 1(2) of this Schedule, a notice in the prescribed form, describing the general effect of the order, stating that it has been confirmed, and naming a place where a copy thereof as confirmed may be inspected free of charge at all reasonable hours, and shall—
a
serve a like notice and a copy of the order as confirmed on any persons on whom notices were required to be served under the said paragraph 1(2); and
b
cause a like notice to be displayed in the like manner as the notice required to be displayed under the said paragraph 1(2):
Provided that no such notice or copy need be served on a person unless he has sent to the authority a request in that behalf, specifying an address for service.

Nothing in any such agreement shall be construed as restricting the exercise, in relation to land to which the agreement applies, of any powers exercisable by any Minister or authority under this Act, so long as those powers are exercised in accordance with the provisions of the development plan, or in accordance with any directions which may have been given by the Secretary of State by virtue of paragraph 5 of Schedule 4 to this Act, or as requiring the exercise of any such powers otherwise than in accordance with such provisions or directions.
3
If the Secretary of State is satisfied, on application made to him by any person being a party to any such agreement, or a person entitled to land affected thereby, that any restriction on the development or use of the land imposed by the agreement is inconsistent with the proper planning or development of the area comprising the land, he may by order discharge or modify that restriction so far as appears to him to be expedient.
4
Without prejudice to sub-paragraph (3) of this paragraph, if any person being a party to any such agreement (whether as originally made or as modified under that sub-paragraph), or a person entitled to land affected thereby, claims that the agreement ought to be modified or rescinded, having regard to the provisions of this Act or to anything done under this Act or under the Act of 1947, he may refer to arbitration the question whether the agreement should be so modified or rescinded, and the arbiter may make such award as appears to him to be just having regard to all the circumstances.
Development authorised under enactments repealed by Act of 1947
76
1
Where any works on land existing at the appointed day, or any use to which land was put on that day, had been authorised by a permission granted subject to conditions under a scheme under the M30Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1932 (or under an enactment repealed by that Act) or under an order made under section 10(1) of that Act (in the subsequent provisions of this Schedule referred to as “a planning scheme” and “an interim development order”) the provisions of Parts III and V of this Act, the provisions of Part IX of this Act relating to purchase notices, and the provisions of sections 214 to 217 of this Act, shall apply in relation to those works or that use as if the conditions had been imposed on the grant of planning permission.
2
Without prejudice to the generality of sub-paragraph (1) of this paragraph, where any such permission was granted subject to conditions (in whatever form) restricting the period for which the works or use might be continued on the land, then, if that period had not expired at the appointed day and the works were or are not removed, or the use discontinued, at the end of that period, the provisions of Part V of this Act relating to enforcement notices shall apply in relation thereto as if the works had been carried out, or the use begun, as the case may be, at the end of that period and without the grant of planning permission in that behalf.
3
The power of a F196 planning authority under Part III of this Act to grant permission for the retention on land of buildings or works constructed or carried out before the date of the application, or the continuance of any use of land instituted before that date, shall include power to grant such permission in respect of any works or use authorised by a permission granted subject to any such conditions as are mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) of this paragraph.
4
Where at any time before the appointed day it was determined under the M31Building Restrictions (War-Time Contraventions) Act 1946 that any works on land or any use of land should be deemed to comply with planning control (within the meaning of that Act) subject to any conditions specified in the determination, the provisions of this paragraph shall apply in relation to those works or that use as if those conditions had been imposed on the grant of permission under a planning scheme or an interim development order.
5
Provisions may be made by regulations under this Act for applying the preceding provisions of this paragraph, subject to such adaptations and modifications as may be specified in the regulations, to works on land carried out, or uses of land begun, at any time before the appointed day, in accordance with permission granted subject to conditions under any enactment repealed by the Act of 1947, other than the enactments relating to town and country planning; and for the purposes of this provision any works or use in respect of which a notice was served under subsection (1) of section 1 of the M32Restriction of Ribbon Development (Temporary Development) Act 1943 or was deemed by virtue of subsection (4) of that section to have been so served, shall be treated as carried out or begun in accordance with permission granted subject to a condition restricting the period for which the works or use might be continued on the land.
77
1
Where permission for any development of land was granted, at any time after 10th November 1943 and before the appointed day, on an application in that behalf made under an interim development order, then, if and so far as that development was not carried out before the appointed day and the permission was in force immediately before that day, planning permission shall be deemed to have been granted in respect thereof subject to the like conditions (if any) as were imposed by the permission under the interim development order as it had effect immediately before the appointed day:
Provided that this sub-paragraph shall not apply in relation to any development for which permission was required before the appointed day under the M33Restriction of Ribbon Development Act 1935 unless that permission was also granted.
2
The provisions of section 42 of this Act shall apply in relation to planning permission which is deemed to have been granted by virtue of this paragraph as if it had been granted on an application under Part III of this Act; and, in relation to any order made under that section for the revocation or modification of any such permission, any reference in section 153(3) of this Act to the grant of permission shall be construed as a reference to the grant of the permission under the interim development order.
3
Where permission for any development of land was granted as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) of this paragraph, and permission for that development was also granted under the Restriction of Ribbon Development Act 1935 then, if the permission so granted under the said Act of 1935 was granted subject to conditions, those conditions shall be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as conditions imposed by the permission granted under the interim development order.
78
1
Where any works for the erection or alteration of a building had been begun but not completed before the appointed day, then if—
a
immediately before that day those works could have been completed in conformity with the provisions of a planning scheme or of permission granted thereunder, or in accordance with permission granted by or under an interim development order; and
b
where any permission was required under the Restriction of Ribbon Development Act 1935 for the carrying out of those works, that permission was granted,
planning permission shall be deemed to have been granted in respect of the completion of those works.
2
The planning permission deemed to have been granted by virtue of this paragraph shall be deemed to have been so granted subject to any conditions applicable thereto under the scheme or the permission granted by or under the interim development order, as the case may be, and to any conditions imposed by the permission (if any) granted under the M34Restriction of Ribbon Development Act 1935 and shall include permission to use the building, when erected or altered—
a
where the purpose for which it could be so used was prescribed by or under the planning scheme, or by the permission granted by or under the interim development order, as the case may be, for that purpose;
b
in any other case, for the purpose for which the building, or the building as altered, was designed.
3
In relation to any such works as are mentioned in sub-paragraph (1) of this paragraph, being works in respect of which permission was granted after 10th November 1943, on an application in that behalf made under an interim development order, the provisions of this paragraph shall have effect in substitution for the provisions of paragraph 77 of this Schedule.
79
1

2
Sub-paragraph (1) of this paragraph shall have effect without prejudice to the provisions of Part I of this Schedule.
Supplementary
80
1

A general vesting declaration shall contain a particular description of the lands affected or a description by reference of those lands in the manner provided by section 61 of the M35Conveyancing (Scotland) Act 1874.
2
1
Before making a general vesting declaration with respect to any land which is subject to a compulsory purchase order, the acquiring authority shall include in the notice of the making or confirmation of the order which is required to be published or served by paragraph 6 of Schedule 1 to the M36Acquisition Act 1947 or any other provision of the relevant enactments corresponding to that paragraph, or in a notice given subsequently and before the service of the notice to treat in respect of that land—
a
such a statement of the effect of paragraphs 1 to 8 of this Schedule as may be prescribed; and
b
a notification to the effect that every person who, if a general vesting declaration were made in respect of all the land comprised in the order in respect of which notice to treat has not been given, would be entitled to claim compensation in respect of any such land is invited to give information to the authority making the declaration in the prescribed form with respect to his name and address and the land in question.
2
The requirements of the relevant enactments with respect to the publication and service of a notice of the making or confirmation of a compulsory purchase order shall apply to a notice under this paragraph given subsequently to the first-mentioned notice.
3
A general vesting declaration shall not be executed before the end of the period of two months beginning with the date of the first publication of the notice complying with paragraph 2(1) above, or such longer period, if any, as may be specified in the notice:
Provided that, with the consent in writing of every occupier of any of the land specified in the declaration, the acquiring authority may execute a general vesting declaration before the end of that period of two months, or of the longer period so specified, as the case may be.
4
As soon as may be after executing a general vesting declaration, the acquiring authority shall serve—
a
on every occupier of any of the land specified in the declaration (other than land in which there subsists a short tenancy or a long tenancy which is about to expire); and
b
on every other person who has given information to the authority with respect to any of that land in pursuance of the invitation published and served under paragraph 2(1) above,

a
any person entitled to an interest in the land in respect of which such a notice had actually been served before the end of that period; and
b

C32C33C348
Where any land specified in a general vesting declaration is land in which there subsists a short tenancy or a long tenancy which is about to expire—

a

C41C4212

a
as to the amount of the compensation to which the claimant was entitled in respect of an interest in land; or
b
as to the apportionment of any compensation paid,

Part III Interpretation
C91C9238
1
In this Schedule “short tenancy” means a tenancy for a year or from year to year or any lesser interest, and “long tenancy which is about to expire”, in relation to a general vesting declaration, means a tenancy granted for an interest greater than a short tenancy, but having at the date of the declaration a period still to run which is not more than the specified period (that is to say, such period, longer than one year, as may for the purposes of this paragraph be specified in the declaration in relation to the land in which the tenancy subsists).
2
In determining for the purposes of this paragraph what period a tenancy still has to run at the date of a general vesting declaration it shall be assumed—
a
that the tenant will exercise any option to renew the tenancy, and will not exercise any option to terminate the tenancy, then or thereafter available to him, and
b
that the landlord will exercise any option to terminate the tenancy then or thereafter available to him.
C93C9439
In this Schedule—
“Acquisition Act 1947” means the M47Acquisition of Land (Authorisation Procedure) (Scotland) Act 1947;
“relevant enactments”, in relation to an acquiring authority, means the enactments under which that authority may acquire or be authorised to acquire land compulsorily and which prescribe a procedure for effecting the compulsory acquisition of land by them by means of a compulsory purchase order;
“land”, in relation to compulsory acquisition by an acquiring authority, has the same meaning as in the relevant enactments.
