Application of the 1991 Act
5
1
Works executed under this Order in relation to a highway which consists of or includes a carriageway are to be treated for the purposes of Part 3 (street works in England and Wales) of the 1991 Act as major transport works if—
a
they are of a description mentioned in any of paragraphs (a), (c) to (e), (g) and (h) of section 86(3) (which defines what highway authority works are major highway works) of that Act; 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 1980 Act or section 184 (vehicle crossings) of that Act.
2
In Part 3 of the 1991 Act, references, in relation to major highway works to the highway authority concerned are, in relation to works which are major highway works by virtue of paragraph (1), to be construed as references to the Authority.
3
The provisions of the 1991 Act mentioned in paragraph (4) (which, together with other provisions of that Act, apply in relation to the execution 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 any stopping up, alteration or diversion of a street of a temporary nature by the Authority under the powers conferred by article 12 (temporary stopping up of streets) whether or not the stopping up, alteration or diversion constitutes street works within the meaning of that Act.
4
The provisions of the 1991 Act referred to in paragraph (3) are—
- section 54 (advance notice of certain works), subject to paragraph (5);
- section 55 (notice of starting date of works), subject to paragraph (5);

and all such other provisions as apply for the purposes of the provisions mentioned above.
5
Sections 54 and 55 of the 1991 Act as applied by paragraph (3) have effect as if references in section 57 of that Act to emergency works were a reference to a stopping up, alteration or diversion (as the case may be) required in a case of emergency.
6
Nothing in article 14 (construction and maintenance of new, altered or diverted highways)—
a
affects the operation of section 87 (prospectively maintainable highways) of the 1991 Act, and the Authority is not by reason of any duty under that article to maintain a street to be taken to be the street authority in relation to that street for the purposes of Part 3 of that Act; or

Construction and maintenance of new, altered or diverted highways
14
1
Any highway to be constructed under this Order must be completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the highway authority and must, unless otherwise agreed by the highway authority and the Authority, be maintained by and at the expense of the Authority for a period of 12 months from its completion and at the expiry of that period by and at the expense of the highway authority.

3
Paragraphs (1) and (2) do not apply in relation to the structure of any bridge carrying a tramway of the Authority over a highway and except as provided in those paragraphs the Authority is not liable to maintain the surface of any highway in, on or over which the scheduled works are constructed, or the immediate approaches to any such highway, unless otherwise agreed with the highway authority.
4
In any action against the Authority in respect of loss or damage resulting from any failure by it to maintain a highway 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 the Authority had taken such care as in all the circumstances was reasonably required to secure that the part of the highway 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 highway including its use for a tramway, and the traffic which was reasonably to be expected to use it;
b
the standard of maintenance appropriate for a highway of that character and used by such traffic;
c
the state of repair in which a reasonable person would have expected to find the highway;
d
whether the Authority knew, or could reasonably have been expected to know, that the condition of the part of the highway to which the action relates was likely to cause danger to users of the highway; and
e
where the Authority could not reasonably have been expected to repair that part of the highway 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 that the Authority had arranged for a competent person to carry out or supervise the maintenance of that part of the highway to which the action relates unless it is also proved that the Authority had given the competent person proper instructions with regard to the maintenance of the highway and that the competent person had carried out those instructions.

Restoration of streets if tramway discontinued
15
If the Authority abandons the construction of, or permanently ceases to operate any of, the authorised tramway (“the discontinued tramway”), it must as soon as reasonably practicable and unless otherwise agreed with the street authority—
a
remove from any street in which the discontinued tramway is laid the rails and any other works, equipment and apparatus which have become redundant; and
b
restore, to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority, the portion of the street along which the discontinued tramway was laid, or redundant works, equipment and apparatus were laid, regard being had to—
i
the condition of the street before the tramway was laid; and
ii
the nature of the traffic using the street at the time of the discontinuance.

Construction and alteration of bridges
16
Any bridge to be constructed or altered under this Order for carrying the authorised tramway over a highway must be constructed or altered in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by the highway authority, but such approval must not be unreasonably withheld.

The Authority may use any watercourse or any public sewer or drain for the drainage of water in connection with the construction, operation 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, or in any street along which the authorised tramway is authorised to be laid, make openings into, and connections with, the watercourse, sewer or drain.
2
Any dispute arising from the exercise of the powers conferred by paragraph (1) to connect to or use a public sewer or drain is to be determined as if it were a dispute under section 106 of the Water Industry Act 1991 .
3
The Authority 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
The Authority 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
The Authority 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
The Authority 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 2016.
8
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 watercourses, used both in this article and in the Water Resources Act 1991 have the same meaning as in that Act.

Works to safeguard buildings and the operation of the authorised tramway
21
1
Subject to the following provisions of this article, the Authority may at its own expense and from time to time carry out such safeguarding works to any building lying within the Order limits as the Authority considers to be necessary or expedient.
2
Safeguarding 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 (other than works authorised by this article); or
b
after the completion of the construction of that part of the authorised works (other than works authorised by this article), 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 the Authority 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 safeguarding works under this article to a building the Authority 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 safeguarding works to a building;
b
a right under paragraph (3) to enter a building and any 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,
the Authority 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 safeguarding works proposed to be carried out.
6
Where 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 of whether it is necessary or expedient to carry out the safeguarding works or to enter the building or land to be referred to arbitration under article 53 (arbitration).
7
The Authority 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 powers.
8
Where—
a
safeguarding 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 constructed within the vicinity of the building is first opened for use, it appears that the safeguarding works are inadequate to protect the building against damage caused by the construction or operation of that part of the works,
the Authority must compensate the owners and occupiers of the building for any damage sustained by them.
9
Without affecting article 52 (no double recovery), nothing in this article relieves the Authority from any liability to pay compensation under section 10(2) of the 1965 Act.
10
Any compensation payable under paragraph (7) or (8) is to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act.
11
In this article “safeguarding works”, in relation to a building, means—
a
underpinning, strengthening and any other works the purpose of which is to prevent damage which may be caused to the building by the construction, maintenance or operation of the authorised works;
b
any works the purpose of which is to remedy any damage which has been caused to the building by the construction, maintenance or operation of the authorised works; and
c
any works the purpose of which is to secure the safe operation of the authorised tramway or to prevent or minimise the risk of such operation being disrupted.

Power to survey and investigate land, etc.
22
1
The Authority may for the purposes of this Order—
a
survey or investigate any land within the Order limits, any street along which the authorised tramway is authorised to be laid and any street having a junction with such a street;
b
without limitation on the scope of sub-paragraph (a), make trial holes in such positions as the Authority thinks fit on the land to investigate the nature of the surface layer and subsoil and remove soil samples;
c
without limitation on the scope of sub-paragraph (a), carry out archaeological investigations on any such land;
d
take steps to protect or remove any flora or fauna on the land where the flora or fauna may be affected by the carrying out of the authorised works;
e
place on, leave on and remove from the land apparatus for use in connection with the exercise of any of the powers conferred by sub-paragraphs (a) to (d); and
f
enter on the land for the purpose of exercising the powers conferred by sub-paragraphs (a) to (e).
2
No land may be entered, or equipment placed or left on or removed from the land, under paragraph (1), unless at least 7 days’ notice has been served on every owner and occupier of the land.
3
Any person entering land under this article on behalf of the Authority—
a
must, if so required, before or after entering the land produce written evidence of that person’s authority to do so; and
b
may take onto the land such vehicles and equipment as are necessary to carry out the survey or investigation or to make the trial holes.
4
No trial holes are to be made under this article—
a
in a carriageway or footway without the consent of the highway authority; or
b
in a private street without the consent of the street authority,
but such consent must not be unreasonably withheld.
5
The Authority must pay compensation for any damage occasioned, by the exercise of the powers conferred by this article, to the owners and occupiers of the land, such compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act.
6
Nothing in this article overrides the requirement to obtain scheduled monument consent under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 .

Mode of construction and operation of tramway
23
1
The authorised tramway must be operated by electricity or, in an emergency or for the purposes of maintenance, by diesel power or other means.
2
The tramway must be constructed on a nominal gauge of 1,435 millimetres.
3
Where the authorised tramway is constructed along a street or in any place to which the public has access (including any place to which the public has access only on making a payment), the Authority must take such care as in all the circumstances is reasonable to ensure that the authorised tramway is constructed and maintained so that the street or other place is safe for other users.
4
When considering what measures are required under paragraph (3) the Authority must have particular regard to the character and usage of the street or other place and to those who could reasonably be expected to use it.
5
Where the authorised tramway has been constructed in a street, works by any person which affect or are likely to affect the Authority’s obligations under paragraph (3), including works to any street surfaces and works affecting any equipment or apparatus placed in the street under article 10 (power to keep apparatus in streets) must not be carried out without the consent of the Authority, which may be given subject to such reasonable terms and conditions as the Authority may require but must not be unreasonably withheld.

Obstruction of construction of authorised works
24
Any person who, without reasonable excuse—
a
obstructs another person acting under the authority of the Authority in setting out the lines of the scheduled works, or in constructing any of the authorised works; or
b
interferes with, moves or removes any apparatus belonging to any person acting under the authority of the Authority,
is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.

Power to construct temporary tramways
25
1
The Authority may, if it considers it necessary or expedient in consequence of any street works executed or proposed to be executed in a street along which an authorised tramway is constructed—
a
remove or discontinue the operation of the authorised tramway; and
b
lay, maintain and operate in that street or in a street near to that street a temporary tramway in place of the authorised tramway.
2
The powers conferred by this article may only be exercised with the consent of the street authority but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld.
3
The provisions of articles 9(2) (power to alter layout, etc., of streets), 10 (power to keep apparatus in streets), 11 (power to execute street works) and 42 (traffic signs) apply in relation to temporary tramways laid under the powers conferred by this article as they apply in relation to the authorised tramway.

Temporary interference with the Birmingham Canal
26
1
Without limitation on the scope of the powers conferred by article 6 (power to construct and maintain works), the Authority may in connection with the construction of Work No. 2—
a
temporarily interfere with the Birmingham Canal, by constructing or maintaining temporary works at any point within the Order limits as it considers necessary or expedient;
b
temporarily moor or anchor barges or other vessels or craft in the Birmingham Canal, load or unload into and from such barges, other vessels or craft equipment, machinery, soil and any other materials in connection with the construction of the authorised works; and
c
temporarily close the Birmingham Canal, or a part of it, to navigation.
2
The power conferred by paragraph (1)(c) may only be exercised in a way which secures—
a
that no more of the Birmingham Canal is closed to navigation at any time than is necessary in the circumstances; and
b
that, if complete closure of the Birmingham Canal to navigation becomes necessary, all reasonable steps are taken to secure that the minimum obstruction, delay or interference is caused to vessels or craft which may be using or intending to use it.
3
Any person who, as a result of the exercise of the powers conferred by this article, suffers loss by reason of the interference with any private right of navigation is entitled to be paid compensation by the Authority to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act.
PART 3

ACQUISITION AND POSSESSION OF LAND

Powers of acquisition

Power to acquire land
27
1
The Authority may acquire compulsorily so much of the land shown on the works and land plans as lying within the permanent limits as may be required for or in connection with the authorised works and may use any land so acquired for those purposes or for any other purposes that are ancillary to its tramway undertaking.
2
This article is subject to article 31 (new rights only to be acquired in certain lands).

Application of Part 1 of the 1965 Act
28
1
Part 1 (compulsory purchase under the Acquisition of Land Act 1946) 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
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.

Application of Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981
29
1
The Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 applies as if this Order were a compulsory purchase order.
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 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 “(as modified by section 4 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981)”.
8
References to the 1965 Act are to be construed as references to that Act as applied to the acquisition of land by article 28 (application of Part 1 of the 1965 Act).

Powers to acquire new rights
30
1
The Authority may compulsorily acquire such easements or other rights over any land within the permanent limits as may be required for any purpose for which that land may be acquired, by creating them as well as by acquiring easements or other rights already in existence.
2
Subject to section 8 (other provisions as to divided land) of the 1965 Act (as substituted by paragraph 5 of Schedule 5 (modification of compensation and compulsory purchase enactments for creation of new rights)), where the Authority acquires a right under paragraph (1) the Authority is not required to acquire a greater interest in that land.
3
Schedule 5 has effect for the purpose of modifying the enactments relating to compensation and the provisions of the 1965 Act in their application to the compulsory acquisition under this article of a right over land by the creation of a new right.

New rights only to be acquired in certain lands
31
In the case of land specified in Schedule 4 (acquisition of new rights only) the Authority’s powers of compulsory acquisition under article 27 (power to acquire land) and article 30 (power to acquire new rights) are limited to the acquisition of such easements or other new rights in the land as it may require for the purposes of exercising the powers conferred by article 19 (attachment of equipment to buildings) and using and maintaining any apparatus affixed in the exercise of those powers.

Rights under or over streets
32
1
The Authority may enter upon and appropriate so much of the surface, subsoil of, or air-space over, any street shown on the works and land plans and described in the book of reference as may be required for the purposes of the authorised works and may use the surface, subsoil and air-space for those purposes or any other purpose ancillary to its tramway undertaking.
2
Subject to paragraph (4), the power under paragraph (1) may be exercised in relation to a street without the Authority being required to acquire any part of the street or any easement or right in the street.
3
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 the Authority 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, the amount of such compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act.
4
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 on to the street.
5
Compensation is not payable under paragraph (3) 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.

Temporary possession of land

Temporary use of land for construction of works
33
1
The Authority may, in connection with the carrying out of the authorised works—
a
enter upon and take temporary possession of—
i
so much of the land shown on the works and land plans as lying within the temporary limits for the purpose specified in relation to that land in column (3) of Schedule 6 (land of which temporary possession may be taken) relating to the scheduled works specified in column (4) of that Schedule; and
ii
any of the land within the permanent limits in respect of which no notice of entry has been served under section 11 (powers of entry) of the 1965 Act or no declaration has been made under section 4 (execution of declaration) of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981;
b
remove any buildings and vegetation from that land; and
c
construct temporary works (including the provision of means of access) and buildings on the land.
2
Not less than 14 days before exercising the powers of paragraph (1) the Authority must serve notice of the intended entry on the owners and occupiers of the land.
3
The Authority may not, without the agreement of the owners of the land, remain in possession of any land of which temporary possession has been taken under this article—
a
in the case of land lying within the temporary limits, after the end of the period of 2 years beginning with the date of completion of the work speciﬁed in relation to that land in column (4) of Schedule 6; or
b
in the case of land within the permanent limits, after the end of the period of 2 years beginning with the date of completion of the work for which temporary possession of the land was taken unless the Authority has, by the end of that period, served a notice of entry under section 11 of the 1965 Act or made a declaration under section 4 of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 in relation to that land.
4
Before giving up possession of land of which temporary possession has been taken under this article, the Authority must remove all temporary works and restore the land to the reasonable satisfaction of the owners of the land; but the Authority is not required to replace a building removed under this article.
5
The Authority must pay compensation to the owners and occupiers of land of which temporary possession is taken under this article for any loss or damage arising from the exercise in relation to the land of the powers conferred by this article.
6
Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (5), or as to the amount of the compensation, is to be determined under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act.
7
Without affecting article 52 (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).
8
Where the Authority takes possession of land under this article, the Authority is not required to acquire the land or any interest in it.
9
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 acquisition of land under this Order by virtue of article 28(1) (application of Part 1 of the 1965 Act).

Temporary use of land for maintenance of works
34
1
Subject to paragraph (2), at any time during the maintenance period relating to the scheduled works, the Authority may—
a
enter upon and take temporary possession of any land within the Order limits reasonably required for the purpose of maintaining the work or any ancillary works connected with it or securing the safe operation of any such work; and
b
construct such temporary works (including the provision of means of access) and buildings on the land as may be reasonably necessary for that purpose.
2
Paragraph (1) does not authorise the Authority to take temporary possession of—
a
any house or garden belonging to a house; or
b
any building (other than a house) if it is for the time being occupied.
3
Not less than 28 days before entering upon and taking temporary possession of land under this article the Authority must serve notice of the intended entry on the owners and occupiers of the land.
4
The Authority may only remain in possession of land under this article for so long as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the maintenance works for which possession of the land was taken.
5
Before giving up possession of land of which temporary possession has been taken under this article, the Authority must remove all temporary works and restore the land to the reasonable satisfaction of the owners of the land.
6
The Authority must pay compensation to the owners and occupiers of land of which temporary possession is taken under this article for any loss or damage arising from the exercise in relation to the land of the powers conferred by this article.
7
Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (6), or as to the amount of the compensation, is to be determined under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act.
8
Without affecting article 52 (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 (6).
9
Where the Authority takes possession of land under this article, the Authority is not required to acquire the land or any interest in it.
10
The powers conferred by this article must not be exercised in relation to any street without the consent of the street authority, which must not be unreasonably withheld.
11
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 acquisition of land under this Order by virtue of article 28(1) (application of Part 1 of the 1965 Act).
12
In this article, “the maintenance period”, in relation to a scheduled work, means the period of 5 years beginning with the date on which the work is opened for public use.

Compensation

Disregard of certain interests and improvements
35
1
In assessing the compensation (if any) payable to any person on the acquisition from that person of any land or interest in land under this Order, the tribunal must not take into account—
a
any interest in land; or
b
any enhancement of the value of any interest in land by reason of any building erected, works executed or improvement or alteration made on relevant land,
if the tribunal is satisfied that the creation of the interest, the erection of the building, the execution of the works or the making of the improvement or alteration was not reasonably necessary and was undertaken with a view to obtaining compensation or increased compensation.
2
In paragraph (1) “relevant land” means the land acquired from the person concerned or any other land with which that person is, or was at the time when the building was erected, the works executed or the improvement or alteration made, directly or indirectly concerned.

Set-off for enhancement in value of retained land
36
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) under article 30 (powers to acquire new rights), the tribunal must set off against the value of the rights so acquired—
a
any increase in the value of the land over which the new rights are acquired; and
b
any increase in value of any contiguous or adjacent land belonging to that person in the same capacity,
which will accrue to that person by reason of the construction of the authorised works.
3
The 1961 Act has effect, subject to paragraphs (1) and (2), as if this Order were a local enactment for the purposes of that Act.

Supplementary

Acquisition of part of certain properties
37
1
This article applies instead of section 8(1) (other provisions as to divided land) of the 1965 Act (as applied to this Order by article 28 (application of Part 1 of the 1965 Act)) in any case where—
a
a notice to treat is served on a person (“the owner”) under the 1965 Act (as so applied) in respect of land forming part only of a house, building or manufactory or part only of land consisting of a house with a park or garden (“the land subject to the notice to treat”); and
b
a copy of this article is served on the owner with the notice to treat.
2
In such a case, the owner may, within the period of 21 days beginning with the day on which the notice was served, serve on the Authority a counter-notice objecting to the sale of the land subject to the notice to treat and stating 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 of whether the owner must sell only the land subject to the notice to treat is, unless the Authority 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 the Authority is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order.
8
If the Authority 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 the Authority is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order.
9
In any case where by virtue of a determination by the tribunal under this article a notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for less land or more land than that specified in the notice, the Authority may, within the period of 6 weeks beginning with the day on which the determination is made, withdraw the notice to treat; and, if it does so, must pay to the owner compensation for any loss or expense occasioned to the owner by the giving and withdrawal of the notice, to be determined in case of dispute by the tribunal.
10
Where the owner is required under this article to sell part only of a house, building or manufactory or part only of land consisting of a house with a park or garden, the Authority 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.

Extinction or suspension of private rights of way
38
1
Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights of way over land subject to compulsory acquisition under this Order are extinguished—
a
as from the date of acquisition of the land by the Authority, whether compulsorily or by agreement; or
b
on the date of entry on the land by the Authority under section 11(1) (powers of entry) of the 1965 Act,
whichever is sooner.
2
Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights of way over land owned by the Authority which is within the permanent limits and is required for the purposes of this Order, are extinguished on the appropriation of the land for any of those purposes by the Authority.
3
Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights of way over land of which the Authority takes temporary possession under this Order are suspended and unenforceable for as long as the Authority remains in lawful possession of the land.
4
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.
5
Paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) have effect subject to—
a
any notice given by the Authority before the completion of the acquisition of the land, the Authority’s appropriation of it, the Authority’s entry onto it or the Authority’s taking temporary possession of it, as the case may be, that any or all of those paragraphs do not apply to any right of way speciﬁed in the notice; and
b
any agreement made (whether before or after any of the events mentioned in sub-paragraph (a) and before or after the coming into force of this Order) between the Authority and the person in or to whom the right of way in question is vested or belongs.
6
If any such agreement as is referred to in paragraph (5)(b) which is made with a person in or to whom the right of way is vested or belongs is expressed to have effect also for the beneﬁt of those deriving title from or under that person, it is effective in respect of the persons so deriving title, whether the title was derived before or after the making of the agreement.

Time limit for exercise of powers of acquisition
39
1

SCHEDULE 5

MODIFICATION OF COMPENSATION AND COMPULSORY PURCHASE ENACTMENTS FOR CREATION OF NEW RIGHTS
Article 30

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 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 (measure of compensation in case of severance) of the 1965 Act as substituted by paragraph 4—
a
for the words “land is acquired or taken” substitute “a right over land is purchased”; and
b
for the words “acquired or taken from him” substitute “over which the right is exercisable”.
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 (other provisions as to divided land) 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 land consisting of a house, building or manufactory can be taken without material detriment or damage to the house, building or manufactory; or
b
a right over land consisting of a park or garden belonging to a house can be taken 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 but also the use to be made of the right proposed to be acquired, and, in a case where the right is proposed to be acquired 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.

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 (compulsory purchase under Acquisition of Land Act of 1946) 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 (measure of compensation in case of severance) of the 1965 Act substitute—
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 (other provisions as to divided land) of the 1965 Act substitute—
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 Lands Chamber of 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 Midland Metro (Wolverhampton City Centre Extension) Order 2016 (“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.
.
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 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 the equivalent circumstances and subject to the equivalent 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 (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 in question.
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.

in respect of the employment or procurement of the services of any inspectors, signallers, watchkeepers and other persons whom it is reasonably necessary to appoint for inspecting, signalling, watching and lighting railway property and for preventing, so far as may be reasonably practicable, interference, obstruction, danger or accident arising from the construction or failure of a specified work;
d
in respect of any special traffic working resulting from any speed restrictions which may, in the opinion of the engineer, require to be imposed by reason or in consequence of the construction or failure of a specified work or from the substitution or diversion of services which may be reasonably necessary for the same reason; and
e
in respect of any additional temporary lighting of railway property in the vicinity of the specified works, being lighting made reasonably necessary by reason or in consequence of the construction or failure of a specified work.
11
1
In this paragraph—
- “EMI” means, subject to sub-paragraph (2), electromagnetic interference with Network Rail apparatus generated by the operation of the authorised works (including the operation of tramcars using the tramway comprised in the works) where such interference is of a level which adversely affects the safe operation of Network Rail’s apparatus; and
- “Network Rail’s apparatus” means any lines, circuits, wires, apparatus or equipment (whether or not modified or installed as part of the authorised works) which are owned or used by Network Rail for the purpose of transmitting or receiving electrical energy or of radio, telegraphic, telephonic, electric, electronic or other similar means of signalling or other communications.
2
This paragraph applies to EMI only to the extent that such EMI is not attributable to any change to Network Rail’s apparatus carried out after approval of plans under paragraph 5(1) for the relevant part of the authorised works giving rise to EMI (unless the Authority has been given notice in writing before the approval of those plans of the intention to make such change).
3
Subject to sub-paragraph (5), the Authority must in the design and construction of the authorised works take all measures necessary to prevent EMI and must establish with Network Rail (both parties acting reasonably) appropriate arrangements to verify their effectiveness.
4
In order to facilitate the Authority’s compliance with sub-paragraph (3)—
a
the Authority must consult with Network Rail as early as reasonably practicable to identify all Network Rail’s apparatus which may be at risk of EMI, and subsequently must continue to consult with Network Rail (both before and after formal submission of plans under paragraph 5(1)) in order to identify all potential causes of EMI and the measures required to eliminate them;
b
Network Rail must make available to the Authority all information in the possession of Network Rail reasonably requested by the Authority in respect of Network Rail’s apparatus identified under sub-paragraph (a); and
c
Network Rail must allow the Authority reasonable facilities for the inspection of Network Rail’s apparatus identified under sub-paragraph (a).
5
In any case where it is established that EMI can only reasonably be prevented by modifications to Network Rail’s apparatus, Network Rail must not withhold its consent unreasonably to modifications of Network Rail’s apparatus, but the means of prevention and the method of their execution are to be selected in the reasonable discretion of Network Rail, and in relation to such modifications paragraph 5(1) has effect subject to this sub-paragraph.
6
If at any time prior to the commencement of regular revenue-earning operations on the authorised tramway comprised in the authorised works and regardless of any measures adopted under sub-paragraph (3), the testing or commissioning of the authorised works causes EMI then the Authority must immediately upon receipt of notification by Network Rail of such EMI either in writing or communicated orally (such oral communication to be confirmed in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after it has been issued) forthwith cease to use (or procure the cessation of use of) the Authority’s apparatus causing such EMI until all measures necessary have been taken to remedy such EMI by way of modification to the source of such EMI or (in the circumstances, and subject to the consent, specified in sub-paragraph (5)) to Network Rail’s apparatus.
7
In the event of EMI having occurred—
a
the Authority must afford reasonable facilities to Network Rail for access to the Authority’s apparatus in the investigation of such EMI;
b
Network Rail must afford reasonable facilities to the Authority for access to Network Rail’s apparatus in the investigation of such EMI; and
c
Network Rail must make available to the Authority any additional material information in its possession reasonably requested by the Authority in respect of Network Rail’s apparatus or such EMI.
8
Where Network Rail approves modifications to Network Rail’s apparatus under sub-paragraph (5) or (6)—

Network Rail must allow the Authority reasonable facilities for the inspection of the relevant part of Network Rail’s apparatus; and
b
any modifications to Network Rail’s apparatus approved under those sub-paragraphs must be carried out and completed by the Authority in accordance with paragraph 6.
9
To the extent that it would not otherwise do so, the indemnity referred to in paragraph 15(1) applies to the costs and expenses reasonably incurred or losses suffered by Network Rail through the implementation of the provisions of this paragraph (including costs incurred in connection with the consideration of proposals, approval of plans, supervision and inspection of works and facilitating access to Network Rail’s apparatus) or in consequence of any EMI to which sub-paragraph (6) applies.
10
For the purpose of paragraph 10(a) any modifications to Network Rail’s apparatus under this paragraph are deemed to be protective works referred to in that paragraph.
11
In relation to any dispute arising under this paragraph the reference in article 53 (arbitration) to the Institution of Civil Engineers are to be read as a reference to the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
12
If at any time after the completion of a specified work, not being a work vested in Network Rail, Network Rail gives notice to the Authority informing it that the state of maintenance of any part of the specified work appears to be such as adversely affects the operation of railway property, the Authority must, on receipt of such notice, take such steps as may be reasonably necessary to put that specified work in such state of maintenance as not adversely to affect railway property.
13
The Authority must not provide any illumination or illuminated sign or signal on or in connection with a specified work in the vicinity of any railway belonging to Network Rail unless it has first consulted Network Rail and it must comply with Network Rail’s reasonable requirements for preventing confusion between such illumination or illuminated sign or signal and any railway signal or other light used for controlling, directing or securing the safety of traffic on the railway.
14
Any additional expenses which Network Rail may reasonably incur in altering, reconstructing or maintaining railway property under any powers existing at the making of this Order by reason of the existence of a specified work must, provided that 56 days’ previous notice of the commencement of such alteration, reconstruction or maintenance has been given to the Authority, be repaid by the Authority to Network Rail.
15
1
The Authority must pay to Network Rail all reasonable costs, charges, damages and expenses not otherwise provided for in this Schedule which may be occasioned to or reasonably incurred by Network Rail—
a
by reason of the construction or maintenance of a specified work or the failure of such a work; or
b
by reason of any act or omission of the Authority or of any person in its employ or of its contractors or others whilst engaged upon a specified work,
and the Authority must indemnify and keep indemnified Network Rail from and against all claims and demands arising out of or in connection with a specified work or any such failure, act or omission: and the fact that any act or thing may have been done by Network Rail on behalf of the Authority or in accordance with plans approved by the engineer or in accordance with any requirement of the engineer or under the supervision of the engineer does not (if it was done without negligence on the part of Network Rail or of any person in its employ or of its contractors or agents) excuse the Authority from any liability under the provisions of this sub-paragraph.
2
Network Rail must give the Authority reasonable notice of any such claim or demand and no settlement or compromise of such a claim or demand may be made without the prior consent of the Authority.
3
The sums payable by the Authority under sub-paragraph (1) must include a sum equivalent to the relevant costs.
4
Subject to the terms of any agreement between Network Rail and a train operator regarding the timing or method of payment of the relevant costs in respect of that train operator, Network Rail must promptly pay to each train operator the amount of any sums which Network Rail receives under sub-paragraph (3) which relates to the relevant costs of that train operator.
5
The obligation under sub-paragraph (3) to pay Network Rail the relevant costs is, in the event of default, enforceable directly by any train operator concerned to the extent that such sums would be payable to that operator under sub paragraph (4).

Where so required by the engineer the Authority 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 a waterway, whether on a temporary or permanent basis or both.

Survey of waterway
7
1
Before the commencement of the initial construction of any part of the specified works and again following practical completion of the specified works the Authority must bear the reasonable cost of the carrying out by a qualified engineer (“the surveyor”), to be approved by CRT and the Authority, and who may be an engineer employed by CRT, a survey including a dip-survey to measure the depth of the waterway (“the survey”) of so much of the waterway and of any land and existing works of the Authority which may provide support for the waterway as will or may be affected by the specified works.
2
For the purposes of the survey the Authority 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 the Authority 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 the Authority and to the specified works or the method of their construction.
3
The reasonable costs of the survey 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 the same were specified works.
4
Copies of the survey must be provided to both CRT and the Authority at no cost to CRT.

Approval of plans, protective works etc.
8
1
The Authority must before commencing construction of any specified work comprising part of the authorised works including any temporary works supply to CRT proper and sufficient plans of that work and such further particulars available to it as CRT may within 28 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 if within 56 days after such plans (including any other particulars reasonably required under sub-paragraph (1) above) have been supplied to CRT the engineer has not intimated his disapproval of those plans and the grounds of his 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 the construction of a specified work to prevent detriment and to ensure the safety and stability of CRT Property and safe operation of the waterway; and
b
such other requirements as may be reasonably necessary to prevent detriment,
and such protective works must be constructed by the Authority or by CRT at the Authority’s request with all reasonable dispatch and the Authority must not commence the construction of a specified work until the engineer has notified the Authority that the protective works have been completed to the engineer’s reasonable satisfaction, which is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
4
The Authority must pay to CRT a capitalised sum representing the reasonably increased or additional cost of maintaining and, when necessary, renewing any works, including any permanent protective works provided under sub-paragraph (3), and of carrying out any additional dredging of the waterway necessitated by the exercise of any of the powers conferred by this Order but if the cost of maintaining the waterway, or of works of renewal of the waterway, is reduced in consequence of any such works, a capitalised sum representing such reasonable saving must be set off against any sum payable by the Authority to CRT under this paragraph.
5
In the event that the Authority fails to complete the construction of, or part of, the specified works CRT may, if it is reasonably required in order to avoid detriment, construct any of the specified works, or part of such works, (together with any adjoining works) in order to complete the construction of, or part of, the specified works or make such works and the Authority must reimburse CRT all costs, fees, charges and expenses it has reasonably incurred in carrying out such works within 28 days of receipt of an invoice together with appropriate evidence of the costs or expenses incurred.

Design of works
9
Without affecting its obligations under the provisions of this Schedule the Authority must consult, collaborate and respond constructively to any approach, suggestion, proposal or initiative made by CRT on—
a
the design and appearance of the specified works, including the materials to be used for their construction; and
b
the environmental effects of that work,
and must have regard to such views as may be expressed by CRT to the extent that these accord with the requirements of the local planning authority in response to such consultation pursuant in particular (but without limitation) to the requirements imposed on CRT by section 22 (general environmental and recreational duties) of the British Waterways Act 1995 and to the interest of CRT in preserving and enhancing the environment of its waterways.

Notice of works
10
The Authority 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, CRT may where appropriate arrange for the publication of notices bringing those works to the attention of users of CRT’s network.

Lighting
11
The Authority 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.

Construction of specified works
12
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 under the provisions in paragraph 8 and with any requirements made under paragraph 8(5) and paragraph 9;
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 CRT, its officers and agents and all other persons lawfully using the waterways, except to the extent that temporary obstruction has otherwise been agreed by CRT.
2
Nothing in this Order authorises the Authority to make or maintain any permanent works in or over the waterway so as to impede or prevent (whether by reducing the width or navigation headroom of the waterway) the passage of any vessel which is of a kind (as to its dimensions) for which CRT is required by section 105(1)(b) and (2) (maintenance of waterways) of the Transport Act 1968 to maintain the waterway.
3
Following the completion of the construction of the specified works the Authority must restore the waterway to a condition in the reasonable opinion of CRT no less satisfactory than its condition immediately prior to the commencement of those works.

Prevention of pollution
13
The Authority 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.

Access to work: provision of information
14
1
The Authority on being given reasonable notice must—
a
at all reasonable times and subject to any operational or safety requirements 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
CRT on being given reasonable notice must—
a
at all times afford reasonable facilities to the Authority and its agents for access to any works carried out by CRT under this part of this Schedule during their construction; and
b
supply the Authority with such information as it may reasonably require with regard to such works or the method of constructing them and the Authority must reimburse CRT’s reasonable costs in relation to the supply of such information.

Alterations to waterway
15
1
If during the construction of a specified work or a protective work (or during a period of 24 months after the completion of those works) any alterations or additions, either permanent or temporary, to a waterway are reasonably necessary in consequence of the construction of the specified work or the protective work in order to avoid detriment, and CRT gives to the Authority reasonable notice of its intention to carry out such alterations or additions (which must be specified in the notice), the Authority must pay to CRT the reasonable cost of those alterations or additions including, in respect of any such alterations and additions as are to be permanent, a capitalised sum representing the increase of the costs which may be expected to be reasonably incurred by CRT in maintaining, working and, when necessary, renewing any such alterations or additions.
2
If the cost of maintaining, working or renewing the waterway is reduced in consequence of any such alterations or additions a capitalised sum representing such saving must be set off against any sum payable by the Authority to CRT under this paragraph.

Maintenance of works
16
If at any time after the completion of a specified work or a protective work, not being a work vested in CRT, CRT gives notice to the Authority informing it that the state of maintenance of the work appears to be such that the work is causing or likely to cause detriment, the Authority 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.

Repayment of CRT’s fees, etc.
17
The Authority must repay to CRT all fees, costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by CRT—
a
in constructing any protective works under the provisions of paragraph 8(3)(a);
b
in respect of the approval by the engineer of plans submitted by the Authority 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 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 CRT’s network.

Cost of alterations
18
Any additional expenses which CRT may reasonably incur in altering, reconstructing or maintaining a waterway under any powers existing at the making of this Order by reason of the existence of a specified work must, provided that 56 days’ previous notice of the commencement of such alteration, reconstruction or maintenance has been given to the Authority, be repaid by the Authority to CRT.

Making good of detriment; compensation and indemnity, etc.
19
1
If any detriment is caused by the construction or failure of the specified works or the protective works if carried out by the Authority, the Authority (if so required by CRT) must make good such detriment and must pay to CRT all reasonable expenses to which CRT may be put, and compensation for any loss which CRT may sustain, in making good or otherwise by reason of the detriment.
2
The Authority is responsible for and must make good to CRT all costs, charges, damages, expenses and losses not otherwise provided for in this Schedule which may be occasioned to or reasonably incurred by CRT—
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 the Authority 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) the Authority must fully and effectively indemnify and hold harmless CRT 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 CRT on behalf of the Authority 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 CRT or of any person in its employ or of its contractors or agents) excuse the Authority from any liability under the provisions of this paragraph.
4
CRT must give the Authority reasonable notice of any such claim or demand as referred to in sub-paragraph (2) and no settlement or compromise of such a claim or demand is to be made without the prior consent of the Authority (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Details of capitalised sums to be provided
20
If CRT and the Authority cannot jointly agree the formula by which the capitalised sum is calculated it must be settled by arbitration in accordance with article 53 (arbitration).

Arbitration
21
Any difference arising between the Authority and CRT under this Schedule (other than a difference as to the meaning or construction of this Schedule) must be referred to and settled by arbitration in accordance with article 53 (arbitration).

Statutory powers
22
Except as provided by this Order nothing in this Order is to prejudice or derogate from the estate, rights, interests, privileges, liberties or franchises of CRT or alter or diminish any power authority or jurisdiction vested in CRT at the making of this Order.
