Acquisition of subsoil only

30.—(1) The undertaker may acquire compulsorily so much of, or such rights in, the subsoil of the land referred to in paragraph (1) of article 24 as may be required for any purpose for which that land may be acquired under that provision instead of acquiring the whole of the land.

(2) Where the undertaker acquires any part of, or rights in, the subsoil of land under paragraph (1), the undertaker shall not be required to acquire an interest in any other part of the land.

(3) Paragraph (2) shall not prevent article 31 from applying where the undertaker acquires a cellar, vault, arch or other construction forming part of a house, building or manufactory.

Acquisition of part of certain properties

31.—(1) This article shall apply instead of section 8(1) of the 1965 Act (other provisions as divided land) (as applied by section 125 of the 2008 Act) 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 only part of a house, building or manufactory or 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 undertaker 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 shall be required to 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 shall be required to sell only the land subject to the notice to treat shall, unless the undertaker agrees to take the land subject to the counter-notice, be referred to the Lands Chamber of the Upper Tribunal (“the tribunal”).

(5) If on such a reference the tribunal determines 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 consists 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 shall be required to sell the land subject to the notice to treat.

(6) If on such a reference the tribunal determines 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 consists 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 shall be deemed to be a notice to treat for that part.

(7) If on such a reference the tribunal determines 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 shall be 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 undertaker is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order.

(8) If the undertaker agrees to take the land subject to the counter-notice, or if the tribunal determines 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 shall be 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 undertaker is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order.

(9) Where, by reason 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 undertaker may, within the period of 6 weeks beginning with the day on which the determination is made, withdraw the notice to treat; and, in that event, shall 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 only part of a house, building or manufactory or of land consisting of a house with a park or garden, the undertaker shall pay the owner compensation for any loss sustained by the owner due to the severance of that part in addition to the value of the interest acquired.

Rights under or over streets

32.—(1) The undertaker may enter on and appropriate so much of the subsoil of, or air-space over, any street within the Order limits as may be required for the purposes of the authorised project and may use the subsoil or air-space for those purposes or any other purpose ancillary to the authorised project.

(3) Paragraph (2) shall not apply in relation to—

(a)any subway or underground building; or

(b)any cellar, vault, arch or other construction in, on or under a street which forms part of a building fronting onto the street.

(4) Subject to paragraph (5), any person who is an owner or occupier of land appropriated under paragraph (1) without the undertaker acquiring any part of that person’s interest in the land, and who suffers loss as a result, shall be entitled to compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act.

(5) Compensation shall not be payable under paragraph (4) to any person who is an undertaker to whom section 85 of the 1991 Act (sharing cost of necessary measures) applies in respect of measures of which the allowable costs are to be borne in accordance with that section.

Article 27

SCHEDULE 11Modification of compensation and compulsory purchase enactments for creation of new rights

Compensation enactments

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 Land Compensation Act 1973(29) has effect subject to the modifications set out in sub-paragraphs (2) and (3).

(2) In section 44(1) (compensation for injurious affection), as it applies to compensation for injurious affection under section 7 of the 1965 Act as substituted by paragraph 4—

(a)for the words “land is acquired or taken” there are substituted the words “a right over land is purchased”; and

(b)for the words “acquired or taken from him” there are substituted the words “over which the right is exercisable”.

(3) In section 58(1) (determination of material detriment where part of house etc. proposed for compulsory acquisition), as it applies to determinations under section 8 of the 1965 Act as substituted by paragraph 5—

(a)for the word “part” in paragraphs (a) and (b) there are substituted the words “a right over land consisting”;

(b)for the word “severance” there are substituted the words “right over the whole of the house, building or manufactory or of the house and the park or garden”;

(c)for the words “part proposed” there are substituted the words “right proposed”; and

(d)for the words “part is” there are substituted the words “right is”.

Application of the 1965 Act

3.—(1) The 1965 Act has effect with the modifications necessary to make it apply to the compulsory acquisition under this Order of a right by the creation of a new right as it applies to the compulsory acquisition under this Order of land, so that, in appropriate contexts, references in that Act to land are 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.

(2) Without limitation on the scope of sub-paragraph (1), Part 1 of the 1965 Act applies in relation to the compulsory acquisition under this Order of a right by the creation of a new right with the modifications specified in the following provisions of this Schedule.

4.  For section 7 of the 1965 Act (measure of compensation) there is substituted the following section—

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..

5.  For section 8 of the 1965 Act (provisions as to divided land) there shall be substituted the following—

8.(1) Where in consequence of the service on a person under section 5 of this Act of a notice to treat in respect of a right over land consisting of a house, building or manufactory or of a park or garden belonging to a house (“the relevant land”)—

(a)a question of disputed compensation in respect of the purchase of the right would apart from this section fall to be determined by the Upper Tribunal (“the tribunal”); and

(b)before the tribunal has determined that question the tribunal is satisfied that the person has an interest in the whole of the relevant land and is able and willing to sell that interest, and—

(i)where that land consists of a house, building or manufactory, that the right cannot be purchased without material detriment to that land; or

(ii)where that land consists of such a park or garden, that the right cannot be purchased without seriously affecting the amenity or convenience of the house to which that land belongs,

the Hinkley Point C (Nuclear Generating Station) Order 2013(30) (“the Order”), in relation to that person, ceases to authorise the purchase of the right and is deemed to authorise the purchase of that person’s interest in the whole of the relevant land including, where the land consists of such a park or garden, the house to which it belongs, and the notice is deemed to have been served in respect of that interest on such date as the tribunal directs.

(2) Any question as to the extent of the land in which the Order is deemed to authorise the purchase of an interest by virtue of subsection (1) of this section is to be determined by the tribunal.

(3) Where, in consequence of a determination of the tribunal that it is satisfied as mentioned in subsection (1) of this section, the Order is deemed by virtue of that subsection to authorise the purchase of an interest in land, the acquiring authority may, at any time within the period of 6 weeks beginning with the date of the determination, withdraw the notice to treat in consequence of which the determination was made; but nothing in this subsection prejudices any other power of the authority to withdraw the notice..

6.  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 so modified 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.

7.  Section 11 of the 1965 Act (powers of entry) is so modified as to secure that, as from the date on which the acquiring authority has served notice to treat in respect of any right, it has power, exercisable in the like circumstances and subject to the like conditions, to enter for the purpose of exercising that right (which is deemed for this purpose to have been created on the date of service of the notice); and sections 12 (penalty for unauthorised entry) and 13 (entry on warrant in the event of obstruction) of the 1965 Act are modified correspondingly.

8.  Section 20 of the 1965 Act (protection for interests of tenants at will etc.) 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.

9.  Section 22 of the 1965 Act (protection of acquiring authority’s possession where by inadvertence an estate, right or interest has not been got in) is so modified 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.

(iii)such longer period as may be agreed by the undertaker and the discharging authority in writing before the end of the period in sub-paragraph (i) or (ii); and

(b)in the case of a minor detailed requirement—

(i)where no further information is requested under paragraph 2, 5 weeks from the day immediately following that on which the application is received by the authority;

(iii)such longer period as may be agreed by the undertaker and the discharging authority in writing before the end of the period in sub-paragraph (i) or (ii).

Further information

2.—(1) In relation to any application to which this Schedule applies, the discharging authority shall have the right to request such further information from the undertaker as is necessary to enable it to consider the application.

(2) If the discharging authority considers such further information to be necessary and the requirement does not specify that consultation with a requirement consultee is required, the discharging authority shall, within 7 business days of receipt of the application, notify the undertaker in writing specifying the further information required.

(3) If the requirement specifies that consultation with a requirement consultee is required, the discharging authority shall issue the consultation to the requirement consultee within 1 business day of receipt of the application, and shall notify the undertaker in writing specifying any further information requested by the requirement consultee within 1 business day of receipt of such a request and in any event within 21 days of receipt of the application.

(4) If the discharging authority does not give notification as specified in sub-paragraph (2) or (3), it shall be deemed to have sufficient information to consider the application and shall not thereafter be entitled to request further information without the prior agreement of the undertaker.

Fees

3.—(1) Where an application is made to the discharging authority for agreement or approval in respect of a requirement, a fee shall be paid to that authority as follows—

(a)where the application relates to a major detailed requirement, fees shall be calculated in accordance with the following table—

(ii)where the area of gross floor space to be created by the development does not exceed 40 metres, £170;
(iii)where the area of the gross floor space to be created by the development exceeds 40 square metres, but does not exceed 75 square metres, £335;
(iv)where the area of the gross floor space to be created by the development exceeds 75 square metres, but does not exceed 3750 square metres, £335 for each 75 square metres of that area;
(v)where the area of gross floor space to be created by the development exceeds 3750 square metres, £16,565; and an additional £100 for each 75 square metres.
Category 2The carrying out of any operations not coming within Category 1, £170 for each 0.1 hectare of the site area, up to a maximum of £1,690.

(b)where an application is made for discharge of a major detailed requirement (“current application”) in respect of which an application has been made previously, the fee payable in respect of the current application shall be £335; and

(c)where the application relates to a minor detailed requirement, £85 for each application.

(2) For the purpose of the calculation of fees pursuant to paragraph 3(1)(a)—

(a)the area shall be taken as consisting of the area of land to which the application relates;

(b)where the application relates to development within Category 1, the area of gross floor space created by the development shall be ascertained by external measurement of the floor space, whether or not it is bounded (wholly or partly) by external walls of a building;

(c)where the application relates to development within Category 1 and the gross floor space to be created by the development exceeds 75 square metres and is not an exact multiple of 75 square metres, the area remaining after division of the total number of square metres of gross floorspace by the figure of 75 shall be treated as being 75 metres; and

(d)where the application relates to development within Category 2 and the site area exceeds 0.1 hectares and is not an exact multiple of 0.1 hectares, the area remaining after division of the total number of hectares by the figure of 0.1 hectares shall be treated as being 0.1 hectares.

(3) Any fee paid under this Schedule shall be refunded to the undertaker within 8 weeks of—

(a)the application being rejected as invalidly made; or

(b)the discharging authority failing to determine the application within the decision period as determined under paragraph 1,

unless within that period the undertaker agrees, in writing, that the fee shall be retained by the discharging authority and credited in respect of a future application.

Appeals

4.—(1) The undertaker may appeal in the event that—

(a)the discharging authority refuses an application for any agreement or approval required by a requirement included in this Order or grants it subject to conditions;

(b)the discharging authority does not give notice of its decision to the undertaker within the decision period as determined under paragraph 1;

(c)on receipt of a request for further information pursuant to paragraph 2 the undertaker considers that either the whole or part of the specified information requested by the discharging authority is not necessary for consideration of the application; or

(d)on receipt of any further information requested, the discharging authority notifies the undertaker that the information provided is inadequate and requests additional information which the undertaker considers is not necessary for consideration of the application.

(2) The appeal process shall be as follows—

(a)the undertaker shall submit the appeal documentation to the Secretary of State a copy of the application submitted to the discharging authority and any supporting documentation which the undertaker may wish to provide (“the appeal documentation”);

(b)the undertaker shall on the same day provide copies of the appeal documentation to the discharging authority and the requirement consultee (if applicable);

(c)as soon as is practicable after receiving the appeal documentation, the Secretary of State shall appoint a person to determine the appeal (“the appointed person”) and shall notify the appeal parties of the identity of the appointed person and the address to which all correspondence for that person’s attention should be sent;

(d)the discharging authority and the requirement consultee (if applicable) shall submit written representations to the appointed person in respect of the appeal within 10 business days of the date on which the appeal parties are notified of the appointment of a person under paragraph (c) and shall ensure that copies of their written representations are sent to each other and to the undertaker on the day on which they are submitted to the appointed person;

(e)the appeal parties shall make any counter-submissions to the appointed person within 10 business days of receipt of written representations pursuant to paragraph (d); and

(f)the appointed person shall make a decision and notify it to the appeal parties, with reasons, as soon as reasonably practicable.

(3) If the appointed person considers that further information is necessary to enable the appointed person to consider the appeal he shall as soon as practicable notify the appeal parties in writing specifying the further information required, the appeal party from whom the information is sought, and the date by which the information is to be submitted.

(4) Any further information required pursuant to sub-paragraph (3) shall be provided by the party from whom the information is sought to the appointed person and to other appeal parties by the date specified by the appointed person. Any written representations concerning matters contained in the further information shall be submitted to the appointed person, and made available to all appeal parties within 10 business days of that date.

(5) On an appeal under this paragraph, the appointed person may—

(a)allow or dismiss the appeal; or

(b)reverse or vary any part of the decision of the discharging authority (whether the appeal relates to that part of it or not),

and may deal with the application as if it had been made to the appointed person in the first instance.

(6) The appointed person may proceed to a decision on an appeal taking into account only such written representations as have been sent within the time limits prescribed, or set by the appointed person, under this paragraph.

(7) The appointed person may proceed to a decision even though no written representations have been made within those time limits, if it appears to the appointed person that there is sufficient material to enable a decision to be made on the merits of the case.

(8) The decision of the appointed person on an appeal shall be final and binding on the parties, and a court may entertain proceedings for questioning the decision only if the proceedings are brought by a claim for judicial review.

(9) If an approval is given by the appointed person pursuant to this Schedule, it shall be deemed to be an approval for the purpose of Schedule 2 as if it had been given by the discharging authority. The discharging authority may confirm any determination given by the appointed person in identical form in writing but a failure to give such confirmation (or a failure to give it in identical form) shall not be taken to affect or invalidate the effect of the appointed person’s determination.

(10) Save where a direction is given pursuant to sub-paragraph (11) requiring the costs of the appointed person to be paid by the discharging authority, the reasonable costs of the appointed person shall be met by the undertaker.

(11) On application by the discharging authority or the undertaker, the appointed person may give directions as to the costs of the appeal parties and as to the parties by whom the costs of the appeal are to be paid. In considering whether to make any such direction and the terms on which it shall be made, the appointed person shall have regard to Communities and Local Government Circular 03/2009 or any circular or guidance which may from time to time replace it.

(3) The obligation imposed on the undertaker by sub-paragraph (2) does not apply where the Agency or another person other than the undertaker is liable to maintain the drainage work in question and is not precluded by the exercise of the powers of this Order from doing so.

(4) If any drainage work referred to in sub-paragraph (2) is not maintained in good repair and condition and free from obstruction the Agency may by notice in writing require the undertaker to repair and restore that drainage work, or any part of it, or (if the undertaker so elects and the Agency in writing consents), to remove the drainage work and restore the site (including sea defences) to its former condition, to such extent and within such limits as the Agency reasonably requires.

(5) If within a reasonable period, being not less than 28 days beginning with the date on which a notice under sub-paragraph (4) is served on the undertaker, it has failed to begin taking steps to comply with the reasonable requirements of the notice and subsequently complete them within such reasonable period as may be specified in the notice, the Agency may do what is necessary for such compliance and may recover any expenditure reasonably incurred by it in so doing from the undertaker.

(6) In the event of any dispute as to the reasonableness of any requirement of a notice served under sub-paragraph (4), the Agency shall not, except in a case of emergency, exercise the powers conferred by sub-paragraph (5) until the dispute has been finally determined.

Impairment of efficiency of drainage work for flood defence purposes

3.  If by reason of the construction of any consented 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 shall be made good by the undertaker to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agency; and if the undertaker fails to do so within such reasonable period as the Agency may require by notice in writing to the undertaker, the Agency may make good such impairment or damage and recover from the undertaker the expense reasonably incurred by it in so doing.

Indemnity as to costs and expenses

4.—(1) The undertaker shall indemnify the Agency in respect of all reasonable and proper costs, charges and expenses which the Agency may reasonably incur or have to pay or which it may sustain in the inspection, for the purpose of compliance with this Schedule, of the construction of any consented works or any protective works required by the Agency under this Schedule.

(2) The undertaker shall indemnify the Agency against all claims, demands, proceedings, costs, damages, expenses or losses, which may be made or taken against, or 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 works or any sewers, drains and watercourses;

(c)any flooding or increased flooding of any land adjoining the works; or

(d)inadequate water quality in any watercourse or other surface waters or in any groundwater,

which is caused by the construction of any of the consented works or any act or omission of the undertaker, its contractors, agents or employees whilst engaged upon the consented works.

(3) The Agency shall give to the undertaker reasonable notice of any such claim, demand, or proceedings and no settlement or compromise of any such claim, demand, proceedings, costs, damages, expenses or losses shall be made without the consent of the undertaker which shall not be unreasonably withheld and if the undertaker shall not give such consent the Agency shall diligently defend such claim or demand.

5.  The fact that any work or thing has been executed or done by the undertaker 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, shall not relieve the undertaker from any liability under paragraph 4.

Disputes and differences

6.  Any dispute arising between the undertaker and the Agency under this Schedule shall, if the parties agree, be determined by arbitration, but shall otherwise be determined by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change acting jointly.
