PART 3 — MODIFICATION OF COMPENSATION AND COMPULSORY PURCHASE ENACTMENTS FOR THE CREATION OF NEW RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
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 the 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 197328 has effect subject to the modifications set out in sub-paragraph (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 from” substitute “a right or restrictive covenant over land is purchased from or imposed on”; and
- (b) for the words “acquired or taken from him” substitute “over which the right is exercisable or the restrictive covenant enforceable”.
- (3) For section 58(1)29 (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, 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 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 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 acquire 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.
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 (accordingly to the requirements of the particular context) as referring to, or as including references to—
- (a) the right acquired or to be acquired;
- (b) the land over which the right is or is to be exercisable;
- (c) the restrictive covenant imposed or to be imposed; or
- (d) the land over which the restrictive covenant is or is to be enforceable.
- (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, 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 of the 1965 Act (measure of compensation) 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 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 of the 1965 Act (provisions as to divided land) substitute—
(6) the York Potash Harbour Facilities Order 201630 (“the Order”), in relation to that person, ceases 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 is to be deemed to have been served in respect of that interest on such date as the tribunal directs. (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 consist of such a park or garden, that the right cannot be purchased or the restrictive covenant imposed without seriously affecting the amenity or convenience of the house to which that land belongs, (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, in accordance with section 31 of the 1961 Act 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 or the restrictive covenant which is to be imposed is vested absolutely in the acquiring authority.
7
Section 1131 (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 1232 (penalty for unauthorised entry) and 1333 (entry on warrant in the event of obstruction) of the 1965 Act are modified correspondingly.
8
Section 2034 (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.
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, or to enforce the restrictive covenant imposed, subject to compliance with that section as respects compensation.

- (b) at the reasonable request of the MMO the unauthorised deposits must be removed at the undertaker’s expense.
40
At least 10 working days before commencement of the licensed activities, the undertaker must submit to the MMO an audit sheet covering all aspects of the construction of the licensed activities or any phase of them. The audit sheet must include details of—
- (a) loading facilities;
- (b) vessels;

42
In the event that the MMO becomes aware that any of the materials on the audit sheet cannot be accounted for, it must require the undertaker to carry out a side-scan sonar survey to plot all obstructions across a reasonable area of search agreed by the MMO where construction works and related activities have been carried out. Any obstructions that the MMO considers to be associated with the authorised development must be removed at the undertaker’s expense.
43
As an alternative to the completion of an audit sheet, with approval from the MMO, the undertaker may introduce a dropped object procedure. If a dropped object procedure is introduced, any dropped objects must be reported to the MMO using the dropped object procedure form within 6 hours of the undertaker becoming aware of an incident. On receipt of the dropped object procedure form, the MMO may require relevant surveys to be carried out by the undertaker (such as side-scan sonar), and the MMO may require obstructions to be removed from the seabed at the undertaker’s expense.
44
The undertaker must agree with the MMO, before commencement of works, whether the dropped object procedure or audit sheet is to be used.
45
The undertaker must, at least 4 months before the completion of the construction of each phase of the authorised development, submit for the approval of the MMO a post construction maintenance schedule setting out details of the maintenance regime for that part of the authorised development below the level of high water.

49
The undertaker must keep the MMO informed of progress of the licensed activities including—
- (a) notice of commencement of construction of the licensed activities within 24 hours of commencement having occurred;
- (b) notice within 24 hours of any aids to navigation being established by the undertaker; and
- (c) notice within 5 working days of completion of construction of each phase of the licensed activities.
Decommissioning
50
No decommissioning of that part of the authorised development below the level of high water is to take place until a decommissioning plan has been submitted to the MMO not less than 3 months prior to the decommissioning and approved by the MMO, and until the MMO has advised the undertaker whether or not the works comprised in the decommissioning plan require a marine licence under the provisions of the 2009 Act; and for the avoidance of doubt this DML does not obviate the need for such licence to be obtained if it is required for the decommissioning works being undertaken.
Archaeology
51
- (1) No development is to commence until a programme of archaeological work including a written scheme of investigation has been submitted to and approved by the MMO. The programme must be submitted for approval at least 6 weeks prior to the commencement of works.
