(a) they are of a description mentioned in any of paragraphs (a), (c) to (e), (g) and (h) of section 86(3) of that Act (which defines what highway authority works are major highway works); or
(b) they are works which, had they been executed by the highway authority, might have been carried out in exercise of the powers conferred by section 64 (dual carriageways and roundabouts) of the Highways Act 1980 .
As amended by section 102 of, and Schedule 17 to, the Local Government Act 1985 (c. 51) and section 168(2) of, and Schedule 9 to, the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (c. 22).
2 The provisions of the 1991 Act mentioned in paragraph (3) (which, together with other provisions of that Act, apply in relation to the carrying out of street works) and any regulations made or code of practice issued or approved under those provisions apply (with the necessary modifications) in relation to the temporary stopping up, temporary alteration or temporary diversion of a street by Network Rail under the powers conferred by article 12 (temporary stopping up of streets) and the carrying out of works under article 10 (power to execute street works) whether or not the stopping up, alteration or diversion, or the carrying out of such works, constitutes street works within the meaning of that Act.

1 Subject to the provisions of this article, Network Rail may, in connection with the carrying out of the authorised works, stop up each of the streets specified in columns (1) and (2) of Schedule 5 (streets to be stopped up) to the extent specified in column (3) of that Schedule.
2 No street specified in columns (1) and (2) of Schedule 5 is to be wholly or partly stopped up under this article unless—
(a) the new street to be constructed and substituted for it, which is specified in column (4) of that Schedule, has been constructed and completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority and is open for use; or
(b) a temporary alternative route for the passage of such traffic as could have used the street to be stopped up is first provided and subsequently maintained by Network Rail, to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority, between the commencement and termination points for the stopping up of the street until the completion and opening of the new street in accordance with sub-paragraph (a).
3 Where a street has been stopped up under this article—
(a) all rights of way over or along the street so stopped up are extinguished; and
(b) Network Rail may appropriate and use for the purposes of its railway undertaking so much of the site of the street as is bounded on both sides by land owned by Network Rail.
4 Any person who suffers loss by the suspension or 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.

12 Temporary stopping up of streets

(a) divert the traffic from the street; and
(b) subject to paragraph (3), prevent all persons from passing along the street.
2 Without limitation on the scope of paragraph (1), Network Rail may use any street stopped up under the powers conferred by this article within the Order limits as a temporary working site.

(b) in relation to any other street without the consent of the street authority which may attach reasonable conditions to any consent, but such consent must not be unreasonably withheld.
6 Any person who suffers loss by the suspension 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.
7 If within 28 days of receiving an application for consent under paragraph (5)(b) a street authority fails to notify Network Rail of its decision or refuses consent without giving any grounds for its refusal that street authority is deemed to have granted consent.

13 Construction and maintenance of new or altered streets
1 Any street to be constructed under this Order must be completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the highway authority and, unless otherwise agreed between Network Rail and the highway authority, must be maintained by and at the expense of Network Rail for a period of 12 months from its completion and from the expiry of that period by and at the expense of the highway authority.
2 Where a street is altered or diverted under this Order, the altered or diverted part of the street must, when completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority, unless otherwise agreed with the street authority, be maintained by and at the expense of Network Rail for a period of 12 months from its completion and from the expiry of that period by and at the expense of the street authority.
3 Paragraphs (1) and (2) do not apply in relation to the structure of any bridge or tunnel carrying a street over or under any railway of Network Rail and except as provided in those paragraphs Network Rail is not liable to maintain the surface of any street under or over which the scheduled works are constructed, or the immediate approaches to any such street.
4 In any action against Network Rail in respect of loss or damage resulting from any failure by it to maintain a street under this article, it is a defence (without affecting any other defence or the application of the law relating to contributory negligence) to prove that Network Rail had taken such care as in all the circumstances was reasonably required to secure that the part of the street to which the action relates was not dangerous to traffic.
5 For the purposes of a defence under paragraph (4), the court must in particular have regard to the following matters—
(a) the character of the street and the traffic which was reasonably to be expected to use it;
(b) the standard of maintenance appropriate for a street of that character and used by such traffic;
(c) the state of repair in which a reasonable person would have expected to find the street;
(d) whether Network Rail knew, or could reasonably have been expected to know, that the condition of the part of the street to which the action relates was likely to cause danger to users of the street; and
(e) where Network Rail could not reasonably have been expected to repair that part of the street before the cause of action arose, what warning notices of its condition had been displayed,
but for the purposes of such a defence it is not relevant to prove that Network Rail had arranged for a competent person to carry out or supervise the maintenance of the part of the street to which the action relates unless it is also proved that Network Rail had given the competent person proper instructions with regard to the maintenance of the street and that the competent person had carried out those instructions.
6 Nothing in this article—
(a) prejudices the operation of section 87 of the 1991 Act (prospectively maintainable highways); and Network Rail is not by reason of any duty under this article to maintain a street be taken to be a street authority in relation to that street for the purposes of Part 3 of that Act; or
(b) has effect in relation to the street works with regard to which the provisions of Part 3 of the 1991 Act apply.

14 Access to works
1 Network Rail may, for the purposes of the authorised works—
(a) form and lay out means of access, or improve existing means of access, in the locations specified in columns (1) and (2) of Schedule 7 (access to works); and
(b) with the approval of the highway authority, form and lay out such other means of access or improve existing means of access, at such locations within the Order limits as Network Rail reasonably requires for the purposes of the authorised works.
2 If a highway authority fails to notify Network Rail of its decision within 28 days of receiving an application for approval under paragraph (1), that highway authority is deemed to have granted approval.

15 Agreements with street authorities
1 A street authority and Network Rail may enter into agreements with respect to—
(a) the construction of any new street (including any structure carrying the street over or under a railway) under the powers conferred by this Order;
(b) the strengthening, improvement, repair or reconstruction of any street under the powers conferred by this Order;
(c) the maintenance of the structure of any bridge constructed under the powers conferred by this Order;
(d) any stopping up, alteration or diversion of a street under the powers conferred by this Order; or
(e) the execution in the street of any of the works referred to in article 10(1) (power to execute street works).
2 Such an agreement may, without limitation on the scope of paragraph (1)—
(a) make provision for the street authority to carry out any function under this Order which relates to the street in question; and
(b) contain such terms as to payment and otherwise as the parties consider appropriate.

16 Construction of bridges
1 Any bridge to be constructed under this Order for carrying a highway over or under a railway must be constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by the highway authority (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).
2 If within 28 days of receiving an application for approval under paragraph (1) a highway authority fails to notify Network Rail of its decision or refuses approval without giving any grounds for its refusal that highway authority is deemed to have granted approval.

Supplemental powers

17 Discharge of water
1 Network Rail may use any watercourse or any public sewer or drain for the drainage of water in connection with the construction or maintenance of the authorised works and for that purpose may lay down, take up and alter pipes and may, on any land within the Order limits, make openings into, and connections with, the watercourse, public sewer or drain.
2 Any dispute arising from the making of connections to or the use of a public sewer or drain by Network Rail under paragraph (1) is to be determined as if it were a dispute under section 106 (right to communicate with public sewers) of the Water Industry Act 1991.
1991 c. 56. Section 106 was amended by sections 35(1) and (8) and 43(2) of, and Schedule 2 to, the Competition and Service (Utilities) Act 1992 (c. 43), sections 36(2) and 99 of the Water Act 2003 (c. 37) and paragraph 16(1) of Schedule 3 to the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 (c. 29).
3 Network Rail must not discharge any water into any watercourse, public sewer or drain except with the consent of the person to whom it belongs; and such consent may be given subject to such terms and conditions as that person may reasonably impose, but must not be unreasonably withheld.
4 Network Rail must not make any opening into any public sewer or drain except—
(a) in accordance with plans approved by the person to whom the sewer or drain belongs, but such approval must not be unreasonably withheld; and
(b) where that person has been given the opportunity to supervise the making of the opening.
5 Network Rail must not, in the exercise of the powers conferred by this article, damage or interfere with the bed or banks of any watercourse forming part of a main river.
6 Network Rail must take such steps as are reasonably practicable to secure that any water discharged into a watercourse or public sewer or drain under the powers conferred by this article is as free as may be practicable from gravel, soil or other solid substance, oil or matter in suspension.
7 Nothing in this article overrides the requirement for an environmental permit under regulation 12(1)(b) of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010.
S.I. 2010/675.
8 If a person who receives an application for consent or approval fails to notify Network Rail of a decision within 28 days of receiving an application for consent under paragraph (3) or approval under paragraph (4)(a) that person is deemed to have granted consent or given approval, as the case may be.
9 In this article—
(a) “public sewer or drain” means a sewer or drain which belongs to a sewerage undertaker, the Environment Agency, an internal drainage board, or a local authority; and
(b) other expressions, excluding watercourse, used both in this article and in the Water Resources Act 1991 have the same meaning as in that Act.
1991 c. 57.

18 Protective works to buildings
1 Subject to the following provisions of this article, Network Rail may at its own expense carry out such protective works to any building lying within plots 13A and 28A to 28E as Network Rail considers necessary or expedient.
2 Protective works may be carried out—
(a) at any time before or during the construction in the vicinity of the building of any part of the authorised works; or
(b) after the completion of the construction of that part of the authorised works in the vicinity of the building at any time up to the end of the period of 5 years beginning with the day on which that part of the authorised works is first opened for use.
3 For the purpose of determining how the functions under this article are to be exercised Network Rail may (subject to paragraph 5) enter and survey any building falling within paragraph (1) and any land within its curtilage.
4 For the purpose of carrying out protective works under this article to a building Network Rail may (subject to paragraphs (5) and (6))—
(a) enter the building and any land within its curtilage; and
(b) where the works cannot be carried out reasonably conveniently without entering land which is adjacent to the building but outside its curtilage, enter the adjacent land (but not any building erected on it).
5 Before exercising—
(a) a right under paragraph (1) to carry out protective works to a building;
(b) a right under paragraph (3) to enter a building and land within its curtilage;
(c) a right under paragraph (4)(a) to enter a building and land within its curtilage; or
(d) a right under paragraph (4)(b) to enter land,
Network Rail must, except in the case of emergency, serve on the owners and occupiers of the building or land not less than 14 days’ notice of its intention to exercise that right and, in a case falling within sub-paragraph (a) or (c), specifying the protective works proposed to be carried out.
6 Where a notice is served under paragraph (5)(a), (c) or (d), the owner or occupier of the building or land concerned may, by serving a counter-notice within the period of 10 days beginning with the day on which the notice was served, require the question whether it is necessary or expedient to carry out the protective works or to enter the building or land to be referred to arbitration under article 44 (arbitration).
7 Network Rail must compensate the owners and occupiers of any building or land in relation to which the powers conferred by this article have been exercised for any loss or damage arising to them by reason of the exercise of those rights.
8 Where—
(a) protective works are carried out under this article to a building; and
(b) within the period of 5 years beginning with the day on which the part of the authorised works carried out in the vicinity of the building is first opened for use it appears that the protective works are inadequate to protect the building against damage caused by the construction or use of that part of the authorised works,
Network Rail must compensate the owners and occupiers of the building for any loss or damage sustained by them.
9 Without affecting article 43 (no double recovery) nothing in this article relieves Network Rail from any liability to pay compensation under section 10(2) (further provision as to compensation for injurious affection) of the 1965 Act .
As amended by section 4 of, and paragraph 13(2) of Schedule 2 to, the Planning (Consequential Provisions) Act 1990 (c. 11) and S.I. 2009/1307.

PART 3 ACQUISITION AND POSSESSION OF LAND

Powers of acquisition

21 Power to acquire land
1 Network Rail may acquire compulsorily—
(a) so much of the land shown on the land plans as lying within the limits of deviation and described in the book of reference as may be required for the purposes of the authorised works; and
(b) so much of the land specified in columns (1) and (2) of Schedule 2 (acquisition of land for ancillary works) (being land shown on the land plans and described in the book of reference) as may be required for the purpose specified in relation to that land in column (3) of that Schedule,
and may use any land so acquired for those purposes, or for any other purposes that are ancillary to its railway undertaking as existing from time to time.
2 This article is subject to paragraph (3) of article 24 (power to acquire new rights) and paragraph (8) of article 27 (temporary use of land for construction of works) and does not apply to plots 13A and 28A to 28E .

22 Application of Part 1 of the 1965 Act
1 Part 1 of the 1965 Act, in so far as not modified by or inconsistent with the provisions of this Order, applies to the acquisition of land under this Order—
(a) as it applies to a compulsory purchase to which the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 applies; and
1981 c. 67.
(b) as if this Order were a compulsory purchase order under that Act.
2 Part 1 of the 1965 Act, as applied by paragraph (1), has effect as if section 4 (which provides a time limit for compulsory purchase of land) and paragraph 3(3) of Schedule 3 (which makes provision as to the giving of bonds) were omitted.

23 Application of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981
1 The Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 applies as if this Order were a compulsory purchase order.
1981 c. 66.
2 The Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981, as applied by paragraph (1), has effect with the following modifications.
3 In section 3 (preliminary notices) for subsection (1) substitute—

“1 Before making a declaration under section 4 with respect to any land which is subject to a compulsory purchase order the acquiring authority must include the particulars specified in subsection (3) in a notice which is—
(a) given to every person with a relevant interest in the land with respect to which the declaration is to be made (other than a mortgagee who is not in possession); and
(b) published in a local newspaper circulating in the area in which the land is situated.”

.
4 In that section, in subsection (2), for “(1)(b)” substitute “(1)” and after “given” insert “and published”.
5 In that section, for subsections (5) and (6) substitute—

“5 For the purposes of this section, a person has a relevant interest in land if—
(a) that person is for the time being entitled to dispose of the fee simple of the land, whether in possession or in reversion; or
(b) that person holds, or is entitled to the rents and profits of, the land under a lease or agreement, the unexpired term of which exceeds one month.”

.
6 In section 5 (earliest date for execution of declaration)—
(a) in subsection (1), after “publication” insert “in a local newspaper circulating in the area in which the land is situated”; and
(b) omit subsection (2).
7 In section 7 (constructive notice to treat), in subsection (1)(a), omit the words “(as modified by section 4 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981)”.
8 References to the 1965 Act in the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 are to be construed as references to that Act as applied to the acquisition of land under article 21 (power to acquire land).

24 Power to acquire new rights
1 Subject to paragraph (3) Network Rail may acquire compulsorily such easements or other rights over any land which it is authorised to acquire under article 21 (power to acquire land) as may be required for any purpose for which that land may be acquired under that provision, by creating them as well as by acquiring easements or other rights already in existence.
2 Network Rail may impose restrictive covenants affecting any part of the Order land which is or will, on completion of the authorised works, lie beneath or adjoin any bridge or viaduct comprised in Works Nos. 1, 2 or 3 as may be required for the purpose of protecting the authorised works.
3 In the case of the Order land specified in column (1) of Schedule 8 (land in which only new rights etc. may be acquired) Network Rail’s powers of compulsory acquisition are limited to the acquisition of such new rights as may be required for the purpose specified in relation to that land in column (2) of that Schedule or the imposition of restrictive covenants in accordance with paragraph (2).
4 Subject to section 8 (other provisions as to divided land) of the 1965 Act (as substituted by paragraph 5 of Schedule 9 (modification of compensation and compulsory purchase enactments for creation of new rights)) where Network Rail acquires a right over land or the benefit of a restrictive covenant under paragraph (1), (2) or (3) Network Rail is not required to acquire a greater interest in that land.
5 Schedule 9 has effect for the purpose of modifying the enactments relating to compensation and the provisions of the 1965 Act in their application in relation to the compulsory acquisition under this article of a right over land by the creation of a new right or the imposition of a restrictive covenant.
6 In any case where the acquisition of new rights under paragraph (1) or the imposition of restrictive covenants under paragraph (2) is required for the purpose of diverting, replacing or protecting apparatus of a statutory undertaker Network Rail may, with the consent of the Secretary of State, transfer the power to acquire such rights or impose such covenants to the statutory undertaker in question.
7 The exercise by a statutory undertaker of any power in accordance with a transfer under paragraph (6) is subject to the same restrictions, liabilities and obligations as would apply under this Order if that power were exercised by Network Rail.

25 Power to acquire subsoil or air-space only
1 Network Rail may acquire compulsorily so much of, or such rights in, the subsoil of or the air-space over the land referred to in paragraph (1) (a) or (b) of article 21 (power to acquire land) 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 Network Rail acquires any part of, or rights in, the subsoil of or the air-space over land under paragraph (1), Network Rail is not required to acquire an interest in any other part of the land.
3 Paragraph (2) does not prevent article 31 (acquisition of part of certain properties) from applying where Network Rail acquires a cellar, vault, arch or other construction forming part of a house, building or manufactory.

26 Rights under or over streets
1 Network Rail may enter upon 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 works and may use the subsoil or air-space for those purposes or any other purpose ancillary to its railway undertaking.
2 Subject to paragraph (4), Network Rail may exercise any power conferred by paragraph (1) in relation to a street without Network Rail being required to acquire any part of the street or any easement or right in the street.
3 Paragraph (2) does 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 in respect of which the power of appropriation conferred by paragraph (1) is exercised without Network Rail acquiring any part of that person’s interest in the land, and who suffers loss by the exercise of that power, is entitled to compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act.
5 Compensation is not payable under paragraph (4) to any person who is an undertaker to whom section 85 (sharing of cost of necessary measures) of the 1991 Act applies in respect of measures of which the allowable costs are to be borne in accordance with that section.

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 43 (no double recovery), nothing in this article affects any liability to pay compensation under section 10(2) (further provision as to compensation for injurious affection) 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).
As amended by section 4 of, and paragraph 13(2) of Schedule 2 to, the Planning (Consequential Provisions) Act 1990 (c. 11) and S.I. 2009/1307.
8 The powers of compulsory acquisition of land conferred by this Order do not apply in relation to the land referred to in paragraph (1)(a)(i) except that Network Rail is not precluded from—

(b) acquiring any part of the subsoil of or air-space over (or rights in the subsoil of or air-space over) that land under article 25 (power to acquire subsoil or airspace only).
9 Where Network Rail takes possession of land under this article, Network Rail is not required to acquire the land or any interest in it.
10 Section 13 (refusal to give possession to acquiring authority) of the 1965 Act applies to the temporary use of land under this article to the same extent as it applies to the compulsory acquisition of land under this Order by virtue of article 22 (application of Part 1 of the 1965 Act).
As amended by sections 62(3) and 139 of, and paragraphs 27 and 28 of Schedule 13, and Part 3 of Schedule 23, to, the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (c. 15).
11 Paragraph (1)(a)(ii) does not authorise Network Rail to take temporary possession of any land which it is not authorised to acquire under article 21 (power to acquire land) or any land specified in Schedule 8 (land in which only new rights etc. may be acquired).

28 Temporary use of land for maintenance of works
1 Subject to paragraph (2), at any time during the maintenance period relating to any of the scheduled works, Network Rail may—
(a) enter upon and take temporary possession of any Order land if such possession is reasonably required for the purpose of maintaining the work or any ancillary works connected with it; and

Compensation

29 Disregard of certain interests and improvements
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.

30 Set-off for enhancement in value of retained land
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 that person 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) or the imposition of restrictive covenants, under article 24 (power to acquire new rights), the tribunal must set off against the value of the rights so acquired or restrictive covenants so imposed—
(a) any increase in value of the land over which the new rights are acquired or restrictive covenants are imposed; and
(b) any increase in the 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.

Supplementary

31 Acquisition of part of certain properties
1 This article applies instead of section 8(1) (other provisions as to divided land) of the 1965 Act (as applied by article 22 (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 Network Rail 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 Network Rail agrees to take the land subject to the counter-notice, to be referred to 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 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 owner must 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 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 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 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 Network Rail is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order.
8 If Network Rail 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 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 Network Rail 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, Network Rail 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, 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, Network Rail must 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.

32 Extinction or suspension of private rights of way
1 Subject to paragraph (6), 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 Network Rail, whether compulsorily or by agreement; or
(b) on the date of entry on the land by Network Rail under section 11(1) of the 1965 Act,
whichever is the sooner.
2 Subject to paragraph (6), all private rights of way over land owned by Network Rail which, being within the Order limits, is required for the purposes of this Order are extinguished on the appropriation of the land for any of those purposes by Network Rail.
3 Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights of way over land subject to the compulsory acquisition of rights or the imposition of restrictive covenants under this Order are extinguished in so far as their continuance would be inconsistent with the exercise of the right or the burden of the restrictive covenant—
(a) as from the date of the acquisition of the right or the benefit of the restrictive covenant by Network Rail, whether compulsorily or by agreement; or
(b) on the date of entry on the land by Network Rail under section 11(1) of the 1965 Act,
whichever is the sooner.
4 Subject to paragraph (6), all private rights of way over land of which Network Rail takes temporary possession under this Order are suspended and unenforceable for as long as Network Rail remains in lawful possession of the land.
5 Any person who suffers loss by the extinguishment or suspension 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.
6 This article does not apply in relation to any right of way to which section 271 or 272 of the 1990 Act (extinguishment of rights of statutory undertakers etc.) or paragraph 2 of Schedule 11 (provisions relating to statutory undertakers etc.) applies.
Section 272 was amended by paragraphs 103(1) and (2) of Schedule 17 to the Communications Act 2003 (c. 21).
7 Paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (4) have effect subject to—
(a) any notice given by Network Rail before—
(i) completion of the acquisition of;
(ii) Network Rail’s appropriation of;
(iii) Network Rail’s entry onto; or
(iv) Network Rail’s taking temporary possession of,
the land, that any or all of those paragraphs do not apply to any right of way specified in the notice; and
(b) any agreement made between Network Rail and the person in or to whom the right of way in question is vested or belongs which makes reference to this article; whether that agreement was made before or after any of the events mentioned in sub-paragraph (a), or before or after the coming into force of this Order.
8 If any such agreement as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (7)(b) is expressed to have effect also for the benefit of those deriving title from or under the person in or to whom the right of way in question is vested or belongs, it is effective in respect of the persons so deriving title, whether the title was derived before or after the making of the agreement.

33 Time limit for exercise of powers of acquisition
1 After the end of the period of 5 years beginning on 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 22 (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 23 (application of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981).
1981 c. 66.
2 The powers conferred by article 27 (temporary use of land for construction of works) cease at the end of the period referred to in paragraph (1), except that nothing in this paragraph prevents Network Rail remaining in possession of land after the end of that period, if the land was entered and possession was taken before the end of that period.

PART 4 MISCELLANEOUS AND GENERAL

34 Defence to proceedings in respect of statutory nuisance
1 Where proceedings are brought under section 82(1) (summary proceedings by person aggrieved by statutory nuisance) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to a nuisance falling within paragraph (g) of section 79(1) of that Act (noise emitted from premises so as to be prejudicial to health or a nuisance) no order is to be made, and no fine may be imposed, under section 82(2) of that Act if—
(a) the defendant shows that the nuisance—
(i) relates to premises used by Network Rail for the purposes of or in connection with the exercise of the powers conferred by this Order with respect to the authorised works and that the nuisance is attributable to the carrying out of the authorised works in accordance with a notice served under section 60 (control of noise on construction site), or a consent given under section 61 (prior consent for work on construction site) or section 65 (noise exceeding registered level), of the Control of Pollution Act 1974; or
1974 c. 40. Section 61 was amended by Schedule 7 to the Building Act 1984 (c. 55), paragraph 15(3) of Schedule 15 to the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (c. 43), Schedule 24 to the Environment Act 1995 and paragraph 10 of Schedule 6 to the Building (Scotland) Act 2003 (asp. 8). Section 65 was amended by paragraph 15(4) of Schedule 15 to the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and Schedule 24 to the Environment Act 1995.

SCHEDULE 9 MODIFICATION OF COMPENSATION AND COMPULSORY PURCHASE ENACTMENTS FOR CREATION OF NEW RIGHTS
Article 24

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 or imposition of a restrictive covenant 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 has effect subject to the modifications set out in sub-paragraphs (2) and (3).
1973 c. 26.
(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 “land is acquired or taken from” substitute “a right or restrictive covenant over land is purchased from or imposed on”; and
(b) for “acquired or taken from him” substitute “over which the right is exercisable or the restrictive covenant enforceable”.
(3) For 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, substitute—

“1 In determining under section 8(1) or 34(2) of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965, or section 166(2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 whether—
(a) a right over or a restrictive covenant affecting land consisting of a house, building or manufactory can be taken or imposed without material detriment or damage to the house, building or manufactory; or
(b) a right over or a restrictive covenant affecting land consisting of a park or garden belonging to a house can be taken or imposed without seriously affecting the amenity or convenience of the house,
the Upper Tribunal must take into account not only the effect of the acquisition of the right or the imposition of the restrictive covenant but also the use to be made of the right or restrictive covenant proposed to be acquired or imposed, and, in a case where the right or restrictive covenant is proposed to be acquired or imposed for works or other purposes extending to other land, the effect of the whole of the works and the use to be made of the other land.”

.
Section 58(1) was amended by section 16(3) of, and Schedule 5 to, the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 (c. 66), section 4 of, and paragraph 29(1) of Schedule 2 to, the Planning (Consequential Provisions) Act 1990 (c. 11) and S.I. 2009/1307.

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, or to the imposition under this Order of a restrictive covenant, as it applies to the compulsory acquisition under this Order of land, so that, in appropriate contexts, references in that Act to land are 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 the restrictive covenant imposed or to be imposed; or
(b) the land over which the right is or is to be exercisable or the restrictive covenant is or is to be enforceable.
(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, or in relation to the imposition of a restrictive covenant, with the modifications specified in the following provisions of this Schedule.
4 For section 7 (measure of compensation) of the 1965 Act 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 or the restrictive covenant is to be imposed is depreciated by the acquisition of the right or the imposition of the covenant 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 (other provisions as to divided land) of the 1965 Act there is substituted the following section—

“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 or the imposition of the restrictive covenant 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 land and—
(i) where that land consists of a house, building or manufactory, that the right cannot be purchased or the restrictive covenant imposed without material detriment to that land; or
(ii) where that land consists of such a park or garden, that the right cannot be purchased or restrictive covenant imposed without seriously affecting the amenity or convenience of the house to which that land belongs,
the Network Rail (Ordsall Chord) Order 2015 (“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 affects any other power of the authority to withdraw the notice.
S.I. 2015/780.”

.
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 modified so 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 or the restrictive covenant which is to be imposed is vested absolutely in the acquiring authority.
7 Section 11 (powers of entry) of the 1965 Act is modified so 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 equivalent circumstances and subject to equivalent conditions, to enter for the purpose of exercising that right or enforcing that restrictive covenant (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.
Section 11 was amended by section 34(1) of, and Schedule 4 to, the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 (c. 67), section 3 of, and Part 1 of Schedule 1 to, the Housing (Consequential Provisions) Act 1985 (c. 71), section 14 of, and paragraph 12(1) of Schedule 5 to, the Church of England (Miscellaneous Provisions) Measure 2006 (No. 1) and S.I. 2009/1307.
Section 12 was amended by section 56(2) of, and Part 1 of Schedule 9 to, the Courts Act 1971 (c. 23).
Section 13 was amended by sections 62(3), 139(4) to (9) and 146 of, and paragraphs 27 and 28 of Schedule 13 and Part 3 of Schedule 23 to, the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (c. 15).
8 Section 20 (protection for interests of tenants at will, etc.) of the 1965 Act 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 or the enforcement of the restrictive covenant in question.
Section 20 was amended by paragraph 4 of Schedule 15 to the Planning and Compensation Act 1991 and S.I. 2009/1307.
9 Section 22 (interests omitted from purchase) of the 1965 Act is modified so 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.

and the placing of apparatus of that type or capacity or of those dimensions or the placing of apparatus at that depth, as the case may be, is not agreed by Network Rail, or, in default of agreement, is not determined by arbitration to be necessary, then, if it involves cost in the execution of the relocation works exceeding that which would have been involved if the apparatus placed had been of the existing type, capacity or dimensions, or at the existing depth, as the case may be, the amount which apart from this paragraph would be payable to the statutory utility by virtue of sub-paragraph (3) is to be reduced by the amount of that excess.
(5) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (4)—
(a) an extension of apparatus to a length greater than the length of existing apparatus is not to be treated as a placing of apparatus of greater dimensions than those of the existing apparatus; and
(b) where the provision of a joint in a cable is agreed, or is determined to be necessary, the consequential provision of a jointing chamber or of a manhole is to be treated as if it also had been agreed or had been so determined.
(6) An amount which apart from this sub-paragraph would be payable to a statutory utility in respect of works by virtue of sub-paragraph (3) (and having regard, where relevant, to sub-paragraph (4)) must, if the works include the placing of apparatus provided in substitution for apparatus placed more than 7 years and 6 months earlier so as to confer on the utility any financial benefit by deferment of the time for renewal of the apparatus in the ordinary course, be reduced by the amount which represents that benefit.
(7) Sub-paragraphs (3) to (6) do not apply where the authorised works constitute major transport works for the purposes of Part 3 of the 1991 Act, but instead—
(a) the allowable costs of the relocation works are to be determined in accordance with section 85 (sharing of cost of necessary measures) of that Act and any regulations for the time being having effect under that section; and
(b) the allowable costs are to be borne by Network Rail and the statutory utility in such proportions as may be prescribed by any such regulations.
(8) In this paragraph—
“apparatus” has the same meaning as in Part 3 of the 1991 Act;
“relocation works” means work executed, or apparatus provided, under sub-paragraph (2); and
“statutory utility” means a statutory undertaker for the purposes of the 1980 Act or a public communications provider as defined in paragraph 1(6).

4 This Part of this Schedule does not apply to apparatus in respect of which the relations between Network Rail and the undertaker are regulated by the provisions of Part 3 of the 1991 Act.
5 Regardless of any provision in this Order or anything shown on the land plans, Network Rail must not acquire any apparatus otherwise than by agreement.
6 (1) If, in the exercise of the powers conferred by this Order, Network Rail acquires any interest in any land in which any apparatus is placed, that apparatus must not be removed under this Part of this Schedule and any right of an undertaker to maintain that apparatus in that land must not be extinguished until alternative apparatus has been constructed and is in operation to the reasonable satisfaction of the undertaker in question.
(2) If, for the purpose of executing any works in, on or under any land purchased, held, appropriated or used under this Order, Network Rail requires the removal of any apparatus placed in that land, it must give to the undertaker in question written notice of that requirement, together with a plan and section of the work proposed, and of the proposed position of the alternative apparatus to be provided or constructed and in that case (or if in consequence of the exercise of any of the powers conferred by this Order an undertaker reasonably needs to remove any of its apparatus) Network Rail must, subject to sub-paragraph (3), afford to the undertaker the necessary facilities and rights for the construction of alternative apparatus in other land of Network Rail and subsequently for the maintenance of that apparatus.
(3) If alternative apparatus or any part of such apparatus is to be constructed elsewhere than in other land of Network Rail, or Network Rail is unable to afford such facilities and rights as are mentioned in sub-paragraph (2), in the land in which the alternative apparatus or part of such apparatus is to be constructed, the undertaker in question must, on receipt of a written notice to that effect from Network Rail, as soon as reasonably possible use its best endeavours to obtain the necessary facilities and rights in the land in which the alternative apparatus is to be constructed.
(4) Any alternative apparatus to be constructed in land of Network Rail under this Part of this Schedule is to be constructed in such manner and in such line or situation as may be agreed between the undertaker in question and Network Rail or in default of agreement settled by arbitration in accordance with article 44 (arbitration).
(5) The undertaker in question must, after the alternative apparatus to be provided or constructed has been agreed or settled by arbitration in accordance with article 44, and after the grant to the undertaker of any such facilities and rights as are referred to in sub-paragraph (2) or (3), proceed without unnecessary delay to construct and bring into operation the alternative apparatus and subsequently to remove any apparatus required by Network Rail to be removed under the provisions of this Part of this Schedule.
(6) Regardless of anything in sub-paragraph (5), if Network Rail gives notice in writing to the undertaker in question that it desires itself to execute any work, or part of any work in connection with the construction or removal of apparatus in any land of Network Rail, that work, instead of being executed by the undertaker, must be executed by Network Rail without unnecessary delay under the superintendence, if given, and to the reasonable satisfaction of the undertaker.
(7) Nothing in sub-paragraph (6) authorises Network Rail to execute the placing, installation, bedding, packing, removal, connection or disconnection of any apparatus, or execute any filling around the apparatus (where the apparatus is laid in a trench) within 300 millimetres of the apparatus.
7 (1) Where, in accordance with the provisions of this Part of this Schedule, Network Rail affords to an undertaker facilities and rights for the construction and maintenance in land of Network Rail of alternative apparatus in substitution for apparatus to be removed, those facilities and rights are to be granted upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed between Network Rail and the undertaker in question or in default of agreement settled by arbitration in accordance with article 44 (arbitration).
(2) In settling those terms and conditions in respect of alternative apparatus to be constructed in or along any railway of Network Rail, the arbitrator must—
(a) give effect to all reasonable requirements of Network Rail for ensuring the safety and efficient operation of the railway and for securing any subsequent alterations or adaptations of the alternative apparatus which may be required to prevent interference with any proposed works of Network Rail or the traffic on the railway; and
(b) so far as it may be reasonable and practicable to do so in the circumstances of the particular case, give effect to the terms and conditions, if any, applicable to the apparatus constructed in or along the railway for which the alternative apparatus is to be substituted.
(3) If the facilities and rights to be afforded by Network Rail in respect of any alternative apparatus, and the terms and conditions subject to which those facilities and rights are to be granted, are in the opinion of the arbitrator less favourable on the whole to the undertaker in question than the facilities and rights enjoyed by it in respect of the apparatus to be removed and the terms and conditions to which those facilities and rights are subject, the arbitrator must make such provision for the payment of compensation by Network Rail to that undertaker as appears to the arbitrator to be reasonable having regard to all the circumstances of the particular case.
8 (1) Not less than 28 days before starting the execution of any works of the type referred to in paragraph 6(2) that are near to, or will or may affect, any apparatus the removal of which has not been required by Network Rail under paragraph 6(2), Network Rail must submit to the undertaker in question a plan, section and description of the works to be executed.
(2) Those works are to be executed only in accordance with the plan, section and description submitted under sub-paragraph (1) and in accordance with such reasonable requirements as may be made in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) by the undertaker for the alteration or otherwise for the protection of the apparatus, or for securing access to it, and the undertaker is entitled to watch and inspect the execution of those works.
(3) Any requirements made by an undertaker under sub-paragraph (2) must be made within a period of 21 days beginning with the date on which a plan, section and description under sub-paragraph (1) are submitted to it.
(4) If an undertaker in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) and in consequence of the works proposed by Network Rail, reasonably requires the removal of any apparatus and gives written notice to Network Rail of that requirement, paragraphs 1 to 7 apply as if the removal of the apparatus had been required by Network Rail under paragraph 6(2).
(5) Nothing in this paragraph precludes Network Rail from submitting at any time or from time to time, but in no case less than 28 days before commencing the execution of any works, a new plan, section and description instead of the plan, section and description previously submitted, and having done so the provisions of this paragraph apply to and in respect of the new plan, section and description.
(6) Network Rail is not required to comply with sub-paragraph (1) in a case of emergency but in that case it must give to the undertaker in question notice as soon as is reasonably practicable and a plan, section and description of those works as soon as reasonably practicable subsequently and must comply with sub-paragraph (2) in so far as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances.
9 (1) Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, Network Rail must repay to an undertaker the reasonable expenses incurred by that undertaker in, or in connection with, the inspection, removal, alteration or protection of any apparatus or the construction of any new apparatus (including costs or compensation payable in connection with the acquisition of land for that purpose) which may be required in consequence of the execution of any such works as are referred to in paragraph 6(2).
(2) The value of any apparatus removed under the provisions of this Part of this Schedule is to be deducted from any sum payable under sub-paragraph (1), that value being calculated after removal.
(3) If in accordance with the provisions of this Part of this Schedule—
(a) apparatus of better type, of greater capacity or of greater dimensions is placed in substitution for existing apparatus of worse type, of smaller capacity or of smaller dimensions; or
(b) apparatus (whether existing apparatus or apparatus substituted for existing apparatus) is placed at a depth greater than the depth at which the existing apparatus was,
and the placing of apparatus of that type or capacity or of those dimensions or the placing of apparatus at that depth, as the case may be, is not agreed by Network Rail or, in default of agreement, is not determined by arbitration in accordance with article 44 (arbitration) to be necessary, then, if such placing involves cost in the construction of works under this Part of this Schedule exceeding that which would have been involved if the apparatus placed had been of the existing type, capacity or dimensions, or at the existing depth, as the case may be, the amount which apart from this sub-paragraph would be payable to the undertaker in question by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) is to be reduced by the amount of that excess.
(4) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)—
(a) an extension of apparatus to a length greater than the length of existing apparatus must not be treated as a placing of apparatus of greater dimensions than those of the existing apparatus; and
(b) where the provision of a joint in a cable is agreed, or is determined to be necessary, the consequential provision of a jointing chamber or of a manhole must be treated as if it also had been agreed or had been so determined.
(5) An amount which apart from this sub-paragraph would be payable to an undertaker in respect of works under sub-paragraph (1) must, if the works include the placing of apparatus provided in substitution for apparatus placed more than 7 years and 6 months earlier so as to confer on the undertaker any financial benefit by deferment of the time for renewal of the apparatus in the ordinary course, be reduced by the amount which represents that benefit.
10 (1) Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) and (3), if by reason or in consequence of the construction of any such works referred to in paragraph 6(2) any damage is caused to any apparatus (other than apparatus the repair of which is not reasonably necessary in view of its intended removal for the purposes of those works) or property of an undertaker or there is any interruption in any service provided or in the supply of any goods, by any undertaker Network Rail must—
(a) bear and pay the cost reasonably incurred by that undertaker in making good such damage or restoring the supply; and
(b) make reasonable compensation to that undertaker for any other expenses, loss, damages, penalty or costs incurred by the undertaker,
by reason or in consequence of any such damage or interruption.
(2) Nothing in sub-paragraph (1) imposes any liability on Network Rail with respect to any damage or interruption to the extent that it is attributable to the act, neglect or default of an undertaker, its officers, servants, contractors or agents.
(3) An undertaker must give Network Rail reasonable notice of any such claim or demand and no settlement or compromise is to be made without the consent of Network Rail which, if it withholds such consent, has the sole conduct of any settlement or compromise or of any proceedings necessary to resist the claim or demand.
11 Nothing in this Part of this Schedule affects the provisions of any enactment or agreement regulating the relations between Network Rail and an undertaker in respect of any apparatus laid or erected in land belonging to Network Rail on the date on which this Order is made.

(2) Network Rail must supply MSCC with all such information as MSCC may reasonably require with regard to any specified work or the method of constructing it.
34 (1) If any reasonable alterations or additions, either permanent or temporary, to the River are necessary in consequence of the construction of the specified work in order to avoid detriment and MSCC gives to Network Rail reasonable notice (being not less than 28 days) of its intention to carry out such alterations or additions (which must be specified in the notice), and takes into account any reasonable representations Network Rail may make to the notice within 21 days of receipt of the notice, Network Rail must pay to MSCC, provided that 28 days’ notice has been given to Network Rail, the cost of those alterations or additions reasonably incurred including, in respect of permanent alterations and additions, a capitalised sum representing the increase of the costs which may be expected to be reasonably incurred by MSCC in maintaining, working and, when necessary, renewing any such alterations or additions.
(2) If the cost of maintaining, working or renewing the River is reduced as a consequence of any such alterations or additions referred to in sub-paragraph (1) a capitalised sum representing such saving is to be set-off against any sum payable by Network Rail to MSCC under sub-paragraph (1).
35 (1) Network Rail must, upon completion of any part of a specified work and after the purpose of any temporary works has been accomplished, remove as soon as practicable any temporary works constructed and materials for temporary works placed in, on or over the River in connection with that part of the specified work.
(2) All temporary works must be removed to the reasonable satisfaction of MSCC and in such a way as causes as little detriment or interference as reasonably practicable with, or delay or interruption to, the safe passage of vessels along the River.
(3) In the event of any detriment to the River or interference with, or delay or interruption to, any vessels on the River that is caused by Network Rail’s failure to remove any such temporary works, Network Rail must immediately make good such damage and pay to MSCC the costs and expenses to which it may be put and compensation for any loss which it may suffer by reason of such detriment, interference, delay or interruption.
(4) In the event of Network Rail failing to remove the temporary works within a reasonable period after receiving notice from MSCC, MSCC may remove those works and charge Network Rail the costs and expenses reasonably incurred as a result.
36 If at any time after the completion of a specified work, not being a work vested in MSCC, MSCC gives notice to Network Rail informing it that the state of maintenance of the specified work appears to be such that the specified work is causing or is likely to cause detriment, Network Rail must, on receipt of such notice, take such steps as may be reasonably necessary to put the specified work in such state of maintenance as not to cause such detriment.
37 Network Rail must repay to MSCC all costs, charges and expenses reasonably and properly incurred by MSCC—
(a) in constructing any protective work under the provisions of paragraph 28(3)(a) including, in respect of any permanent protective work, a capitalised sum representing the cost of maintaining and renewing those works;
(b) in respect of the employment of any inspectors, watchguards and other persons whom it is reasonably necessary to appoint for inspecting, watching and lighting any part of the River affected by any specified work or protective work and for preventing as far as may be practicable all interference, obstruction, danger or accident arising from the construction, maintenance, renewal, repair or failure of the specified work or any protective work;
(c) in respect of the approval by MSCC of plans submitted by Network Rail and the supervision by MSCC of any specified work or any protective work; and
(d) in bringing the specified work or any protective work to the notice of users of the River.
38 (1) If any detriment to the River or any interference with, or delay or obstruction to, any vessels on the River is caused by, or arises as a result of, the construction or failure of any specified work or protective work carried out by Network Rail, Network Rail or (if MSCC so elects) MSCC (but at Network Rail’s expense), must immediately make good such detriment and Network Rail must on demand pay to MSCC all reasonable expenses to which MSCC may be put, and compensation for any loss which MSCC may sustain, in making good or otherwise by reason of any such detriment, interference, delay or obstruction.
(2) Network Rail is responsible for and must make good to MSCC all claims, demands, proceedings, costs, charges, damages, expenses and losses not otherwise provided for in this Part of this Schedule or in accordance with paragraph (3) of article 20 (temporary interference with river and waterway) which may be occasioned to or reasonably incurred by MSCC—
(a) by reason of the construction or failure of any specified work or a protective work;
(b) by reason of any planned closure of the River, as a result of the construction or failure of any specified work or a protective work, or of any closure which is not in accordance with the provisions of this Part of this Schedule;
(c) by reason of any planned closure of the River over-running, as a result of the construction or failure of any specified work or a protective work; and
(d) by reason of any act or omission of Network Rail or of any person in its employ or of its contractors or others whilst engaged upon the construction of any specified work or of a protective work,
and subject to sub-paragraph (4) Network Rail must effectively indemnify and hold harmless MSCC from and against all charges, claims, demands, expenses and liabilities arising out of any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d).
(3) Nothing in this paragraph imposes any liability on Network Rail with respect to any losses, costs, charges, damages, expenses, claims or demand referred to in sub-paragraph (2) to the extent that they are attributable to negligence on the part of MSCC or of any person in its employ or its contractors or agents.
(4) The fact that any act or thing may have been done by MSCC on behalf of Network Rail does not (if it was done without negligence on the part of MSCC or any person in its employ or its contractor or agents) excuse Network Rail from any liability under the provisions of this paragraph.
(5) MSCC must give to Network Rail reasonable notice of any such claim or demand and no settlement or compromise of any such claim or demand must be made without the prior consent in writing of Network Rail (which must not be unreasonably withheld) which, if it notifies MSCC that it desires to do so, must have the sole conduct of any settlement or compromise or of any proceedings necessary to resist the claim or demand provided that no settlement or compromise of any such claim or demand is to be made without the consent of MSCC (which must not be unreasonably withheld). If consent is not given by Network Rail, MSCC must diligently defend such claim or demand.
39 Where under any provision of this Part of this Schedule MSCC or Network Rail (as the case may be) is entitled to a capitalised sum, it must provide such details of the formula by which the sum is calculated as may reasonably be requested by the party required to pay the sum.
40 Except as provided by this Order, nothing in this Order prejudices or derogates from the estates, rights, interests, privileges, liberties or franchises of MSCC or alters or diminishes any power, authority or jurisdiction vested in MSCC at the making of this Order.
41 Any differences arising between Network Rail and MSCC under this Part of this Schedule (other than a difference as to the meaning or construction of this Part of this Schedule) must be referred to and settled by arbitration in accordance with article 44 (arbitration).

45 Where so required by the engineer Network Rail must to the reasonable satisfaction of the engineer fence off a specified work or a protective work or take such other steps as the engineer may require to be taken for the purpose of separating a specified work or a protective work from the waterway, whether on a temporary or permanent basis.
46 (1) Before the commencement of the initial construction of any part of the specified work and again following practical completion of the specified work Network Rail must bear the reasonable cost of the carrying out by a qualified engineer (“the surveyor”), to be approved by the Trust and Network Rail, of a survey (including a dip-survey to measure the depth of the waterway and a survey to measure the headroom of the existing road bridge over the waterway) (“the survey”) of so much of the waterway and of any land and works of Network Rail in existence at the date of the coming into force of this Order which may provide support for the waterway as will or may be affected by the specified works.
(2) For the purposes of the survey Network Rail must—
(a) on being given reasonable notice (except in case of emergency, when immediate access must be afforded) afford reasonable facilities to the surveyor for access to the site of the specified works and to any land and existing works of Network Rail which may provide support for the waterway as will or may be affected by the specified works; and
(b) supply the surveyor as soon as reasonably practicable with all such information as the surveyor may reasonably require with regard to such existing works of Network Rail and to the specified works or the method of their construction.
(3) The reasonable costs of the survey must include the costs of any dewatering or reduction of the water level of any part of the waterway (where reasonably required) which may be effected to facilitate the carrying out of the survey and the provisions of this Part of this Schedule apply with all necessary modifications to any such dewatering or reduction in the water level as though those measures were specified works.
(4) Copies of the report of the survey must be provided to both the Trust and Network Rail at no cost to the Trust.
47 (1) Network Rail must before commencing construction of any specified work including any temporary works supply to the Trust proper and sufficient plans of that work and such further particulars available to it as the Trust may within 14 days of the submission of the plans reasonably require for the approval of the engineer and must not commence such construction of a specified work until plans of that work have been approved in writing by the engineer or settled by arbitration.
(2) The approval of the engineer under sub-paragraph (1) must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and must not be withheld in respect of a design which accords with the design drawings, and if within 56 days after such plans (including any other particulars reasonably required under sub-paragraph (1)) have been supplied to the Trust the engineer has not intimated disapproval of those plans and the grounds of disapproval the engineer is deemed to have approved the plans as submitted.
(3) When signifying approval of the plans the engineer may specify—
(a) any protective work (whether temporary or permanent) which in the reasonable opinion of the engineer should be carried out before the commencement of a specified work to prevent detriment; and
(b) such other requirements as may be reasonably necessary to prevent detriment,
and such protective works must be constructed by Network Rail or by the Trust at Network Rail’s request with all reasonable dispatch and Network Rail must not commence the construction of a specified work until the engineer has notified Network Rail that the protective works have been completed to the engineer’s reasonable satisfaction.
48 Without affecting its obligations under the provisions of this Part of this Schedule Network Rail must consult, collaborate with and respond constructively to any approach, suggestion, proposal or initiative made by the Trust on—
(a) the design and appearance of any specified works, including the materials to be used for their construction; and
(b) the environmental effects of the specified work,
and must have regard to such views as may be expressed by the Trust, to the extent that these accord with the design drawings and the requirements of the local planning authority, in response to such consultation pursuant in particular to the requirements imposed on the Trust by section 22 (general environmental and recreational duties) of the British Waterways Act 1995 and to the interest of the Trust in preserving and enhancing the environment of its waterways.
1995 c. i.
49 Network Rail must give to the engineer 56 days’ notice of its intention to commence the construction of any of the specified or protective works, or, in the case of repair carried out in an emergency, such notice as may be reasonably practicable so that, in particular, the Trust may where appropriate arrange for the publication of notices bringing those works to the attention of users of the Trust’s network.
50 Network Rail must provide and maintain at its own expense in the vicinity of the specified or protective works such temporary lighting and such signal lights for the control of navigation as the engineer may reasonably require during the construction or failure of the specified or protective works.
51 (1) Any specified or protective works must, when commenced, be constructed—
(a) without unnecessary delay in accordance with the plans approved or deemed to have been approved or settled in accordance with this Part of this Schedule and with any requirements made under paragraph 47(3) and paragraph 48;
(b) under the supervision (if given) and to the reasonable satisfaction of the engineer;
(c) in such manner as to cause as little detriment as is reasonably practicable; and
(d) in such manner as to cause as little inconvenience as is reasonably practicable to the Trust, its officers and agents and all other persons lawfully using the waterway, except to the extent that temporary obstruction has otherwise been agreed by the Trust.
(2) Nothing in this Order authorises Network Rail to make or maintain any permanent works in or over the waterway which will reduce the dimensions of the waterway or prevent the passage of any vessel which is at the date of this Order able to navigate along the waterway.
(3) Following the completion of the construction of the specified works Network Rail must restore the waterway to a condition no less satisfactory than its condition immediately prior to the commencement of those works.
52 Network Rail must not in the course of constructing a specified work or a protective work or otherwise in connection with those works do or permit anything which may result in the pollution of the waterway or the deposit of materials in it and must take such steps as the engineer may reasonably require to avoid or make good any breach of its obligations under this paragraph.
53 (1) Network Rail on being given reasonable notice must—
(a) at all times allow reasonable facilities to the engineer for access to a specified work during its construction; and
(b) supply the engineer with all such information as the engineer may reasonably require with regard to a specified work or the method of constructing it.
(2) The Trust on being given reasonable notice must—
(a) at all times afford reasonable facilities to Network Rail and its agents for access to any works carried out by the Trust under this Part of this Schedule during their construction; and
(b) supply Network Rail with such information as it may reasonably require with regard to such works or the method of constructing them and Network Rail must reimburse the Trust’s reasonable costs in relation to the supply of such information.
54 If at any time after the completion of a specified work or a protective work, not being a work vested in the Trust, the Trust gives notice to Network Rail informing it that the state of maintenance of the work appears to be such that the work is causing or likely to cause detriment, Network Rail must, on receipt of such notice, take such steps as may be reasonably necessary to put the work in such state of maintenance as not to cause such detriment.
55 Network Rail must repay to the Trust all fees, costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the Trust—
(a) in constructing any protective works under paragraph 47(3)(a);
(b) in respect of the approval by the engineer of plans submitted by Network Rail and the supervision by the engineer of the construction or repair of a specified work and any protective works;
(c) in respect of the employment during the construction of the specified works or any protective works of any inspectors, watchkeepers and other persons whom it is reasonably necessary to appoint for inspecting, watching and lighting any waterway and for preventing, so far as may be reasonably practicable, interference, obstruction, danger or accident arising from the construction or failure of the specified works or any protective works; and
(d) in bringing the specified works or any protective works to the notice of users of the Trust’s network.
56 (1) If any detriment is caused by the construction or failure of the specified works or the protective works carried out by Network Rail, Network Rail (if so required by the Trust) must make good such detriment and pay to the Trust all reasonable expenses to which the Trust may be put, and compensation for any loss which the Trust may sustain, in making good or otherwise by reason of the detriment.
(2) Network Rail is responsible for and must make good to the Trust all costs, charges, damages, expenses and losses not otherwise provided for in this Part of this Schedule which may be occasioned to or reasonably incurred by the Trust—
(a) by reason of the construction of a specified work or a protective work or the failure of such a work; or
(b) by reason of any act or omission of Network Rail or of any person in its employ or of its contractors or others whilst engaged upon the construction of a specified work or a protective work;
and subject to sub-paragraph (4) Network Rail must effectively indemnify and hold harmless the Trust from and against all claims and demands arising out of or in connection with any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b).
(3) The fact that any act or thing may have been done by the Trust on behalf of Network Rail or in accordance with plans approved by the engineer or in accordance with any requirement of the engineer or under the engineer’s supervision or in accordance with any directions or awards of an arbitrator does not (if it was done without negligence on the part of the Trust or of any person in its employ or of its contractors or agents) excuse Network Rail from any liability under the provisions of this paragraph.
(4) The Trust must give Network Rail reasonable notice of any such claim or demand and no settlement or compromise of such a claim or demand is to be made without the prior consent of Network Rail.
57 Any difference arising between Network Rail and the Trust under this Part of this Schedule (other than a difference as to the meaning or construction of the Part of this Schedule) is to be referred to and settled by arbitration in accordance with article 44 (arbitration).

EXPLANATORY NOTE
