Article 20(6)

SCHEDULE 3MODIFICATION OF COMPENSATION AND COMPULSORY PURCHASE ENACTMENTS FOR CREATION OF NEW RIGHTS

Compensation enactments

1.  The enactments for the time being in force with respect to compensation for the compulsory purchase of land apply with the necessary modifications as respects compensation in the case of a compulsory acquisition under this Order of a right by the creation of a new right as they apply as respects compensation on the compulsory purchase of land and interests in land.

2.—(1) Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph 1, the Land Compensation Act 1973(1) has effect subject to the modifications set out in sub-paragraphs (2) and (3).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Adaptation 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 the—

(a)right acquired or to be acquired; or

(b)land over which the right is or is to be exercisable.

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

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

7.  In assessing the compensation to be paid by the acquiring authority under this Order regard shall 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 his, or injuriously affecting that other land by the exercise of the powers conferred by this or the special Act..

5.  For section 8 of the 1965 Act (which relates to cases in which a vendor cannot be required to sell part only of a building or garden), there is substituted the following—

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

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

(b)before the Tribunal has determined that question the person satisfies the Tribunal that he has an interest which he is able and willing to sell in the whole of the relevant land and, where that land consists of—

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

(ii)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 Scarweather Sands Offshore Wind Farm Order 2004 (“the Order”) shall, in relation to that person, cease to authorise the purchase of the right and be 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 shall be 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 shall 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 six weeks beginning with the date of the determination, withdraw the notice to treat in consequence of which the determination was made; but nothing in this subsection prejudices any other power of the authority to withdraw the notice..

6.  The following provisions of the 1965 Act (which state the effect of a deed poll executed in various circumstances where there is no conveyance by persons with interests in the land), that is to say—

(a)section 9(4) (failure by owners to convey);

(b)paragraph 10(3) of Schedule 1 (owners under incapacity);

(c)paragraph 2(3) of Schedule 2 (absent and untraced owners); and

(d)paragraphs 2(3) and 7(2) of Schedule 4 (common land),

are 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 of the 1965 Act (powers of entry) is modified so as to secure that, as from the date on which the acquiring authority have served notice to treat in respect of any right, they have power, exercisable in the like circumstances and subject to the like conditions, to enter for the purpose of exercising that right (which will be 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 will be modified correspondingly.

8.  Section 20 of the 1965 Act (protection for interests of tenants at will etc.) applies with the modifications necessary to secure that persons with such interests in land as are mentioned in that section are compensated in a manner corresponding to that in which they would be compensated on a compulsory acquisition under this Order of that land, but taking into account only the extent (if any) of such interference with such an interest as is actually caused, or likely to be caused, by the exercise of the right in question.

9.  Section 22 of the 1965 Act (interests omitted from purchase) 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.

Additional costs of Network Rail in maintaining existing railway property

14.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), the undertaker must pay to Network Rail a sum equivalent to any increase in costs which it reasonably incurs from time to time in maintaining existing railway property by reason of the proximity of the relevant works to the railway property in question.

(2) Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply to any work of maintenance unless—

(a)Network Rail has given 56 days' notice to the undertaker of its intention to carry out that work, specifying the nature of work in question; and

(b)the work of maintenance is carried out under existing powers.

General indemnity

15.—(1) The undertaker must pay to Network Rail a sum equivalent to any losses or costs not otherwise provided for in this Schedule which may be suffered or reasonably incurred by Network Rail by reason of—

(a)the construction, maintenance or failure of the relevant works; or

(b)any act or omission of the undertaker or of any person employed by it or of its contractors or agents whilst engaged upon the relevant works.

(2) The fact that any act or thing may have been done by Network Rail on behalf of the undertaker or in accordance with plans approved by the engineer or in accordance with any requirement of the engineer or under his supervision will not (if it was done without negligence on the part of Network Rail or of any person employed by it or of its contractors or agents) excuse the undertaker from any liability under the provisions of this paragraph.

Compensation for train operators

16.—(1) The sums payable by the undertaker under paragraph 15 will include a sum equivalent to the relevant costs.

(2) Subject to the terms of any agreement between Network Rail and the relevant train operators 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 (1) which relates to the relevant costs of that train operator.

17.  In the assessment of any sums payable under this Schedule, there is not to be taken into account any increase in the sums claimed that is attributable to any action taken, or any agreement entered into, by Network Rail if that action or agreement was not reasonably required and was taken or entered into with a view to obtaining the payment of those sums by the undertaker under this Schedule or increasing the sums so payable.

Saving for access agreements

18.—(1) Where, under this Schedule, Network Rail is required to give its consent or approval in respect of any matter, that consent or approval may be given subject to the condition that Network Rail complies with such of its obligations pursuant to any access agreement or any lease of a station or light maintenance depot as are relevant to that matter.
