Temporary possession of land for construction purposes

27.—(1) The Agency may, in connection with the carrying out of the authorised works—

(a)enter upon and take temporary possession of the land specified in column (1) of Schedule 5 (land of which temporary possession may be taken) for the purpose specified in relation to that land in column (2) of that Schedule;

(b)remove any buildings and vegetation from that land; and

(c)construct temporary works (including the provision of means of access) and buildings on the land.

(2) Not less than 14 days before entering upon and taking temporary possession of land under this article the Agency must serve notice of the intended entry on the owners and occupiers of the land.

(3) The Agency may not, without the agreement of the owners of the land, remain in possession of any land under this article after the end of the period of 2 years beginning with the date of completion of the works.

(4) Before giving up possession of land of which temporary possession has been taken under this article, the Agency must remove all temporary works and restore the land to the reasonable satisfaction of the owners of the land; but the Agency is not required to replace a building removed under this article.

(5) The Agency must pay compensation to the owners and occupiers of land of which temporary possession is taken under this article for any loss or damage arising from the exercise in relation to the land of the powers conferred by this article.

(6) Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (5), or as to the amount of the compensation, is to be determined under Part 1 of the 1961 Act.

(7) Without affecting article 55 (no double recovery), nothing in this article affects any liability to pay compensation under section 10(2) of the 1965 Act or under any other enactment in respect of loss or damage arising from the execution of any works, other than loss or damage for which compensation is payable under paragraph (5).

(8) The powers of compulsory acquisition of land conferred by this Order do not apply in relation to land referred to in paragraph (1) except that the Agency is not precluded from—

(a)acquiring new rights over any part of that land under article 24 (power to acquire new rights) or article 26 (new rights only to be acquired in certain lands); or

(b)acquiring any part of the subsoil (or rights in the subsoil) of that land under article 25 (power to acquire subsoil only).

(9) Where the Agency takes possession of land under this article, it cannot be required to acquire the land or any interest in it.

(10) Section 13 of the 1965 Act applies to the temporary use of land pursuant to this article to the same extent as it applies to the acquisition of land under this Order by virtue of article 22(1) (application of Part 1 of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965).
