(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, 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 purposes of determining how the powers under this article are to be exercised the Agency may (subject to paragraph (5)) enter and survey any building falling within paragraph (1) and any land within its curtilage and place on, leave on and remove from the land monitoring apparatus.

(4) For the purposes of carrying out protective works under this article to a building the Agency may (subject to paragraphs (5) and (6)) with all necessary plant and equipment—

(a) enter the building and any land within its curtilage, and

(b) where the works cannot be carried out reasonably conveniently without entering land adjacent to the building, enter the adjacent land (but not any building erected on it),

and in either case the Agency may take exclusive possession of the building and land if this is reasonably required for the purpose of carrying out the protective works.

(5) Before exercising—

(b) a right under paragraph (3) to enter a building;

(c) a right under paragraph (4)(a) to enter and take possession of a building or land, or

(d) a right under paragraph (4)(b) to enter and take possession of adjacent land,

the Agency 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 notice is served under paragraph (5), 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 as to whether it is necessary or expedient to carry out the protective works or to enter and take possession of the building or land to be referred to arbitration under article 68 (arbitration).

(8) The Agency must compensate the owners and occupiers of a building for any damage sustained by them where—

(a) protective works are carried out under this article to the building, and

(b) within the period of 5 years beginning with the latter of—

(i) the day on which those parts of the authorised works constructed within the vicinity of the building first open for use, or

(ii) the day on which completion of the protective works takes place,

it appears that the protective works are inadequate to protect the building against damage caused by the construction or operation of that part of the works.

(9) Without affecting article 69 (no double recovery), nothing in this article relieves the Agency from any liability to pay compensation under section 10(2) of the 1965 Act (further provision as to compensation for injurious affection).

(10) Any compensation payable under paragraph (7) or (8) is to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act.

Planning permission

22.  Any planning permission which is deemed by a direction given under section 90(2A) of the 1990 Act(12) (development with government authorisation) to be granted in relation to the authorised works is to be treated as specific planning permission for the purposes of section 264(3)(a) of that Act (cases in which land is to be treated as operational land).
