THIRD SCHEDULE. Compulsory Purchase Orders. | ||
Provisions applicable to compulsory purchase orders made for the purposes of the Labourers Acts, 1883 to 1931, as amended by this Act. | ||
1. A compulsory purchase order shall be in the prescribed form and shall describe by reference to a map the land to which it applies and shall incorporate, subject to the modifications hereinafter mentioned and any necessary adaptations— | ||
(a) the Lands Clauses Acts (except sections one hundred and twenty-seven to one hundred and thirty-two of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845) as amended by the provisions contained in the Labourers Acts, 1883 to 1931; | ||
(b) the Acquisition of Land (Assessment of Compensation) Act, 1919 , as amended by the Acquisition of Land (Reference Committee) Act, 1925 (No. 22 of 1925). | ||
2. The modifications, subject to which the Lands Clauses Acts and the Acquisition of Land (Assessment of Compensation) Act, 1919 , as amended as aforesaid, shall be incorporated in the order are as follows:— | ||
The arbitrator shall not take into account any building erected or any improvement or alteration made or any interest in land created after the date on which notice of the order having been made is published in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule if, in the opinion of the arbitrator, the erection of the building or the making of the improvement or alteration or the creation of the interest in respect of which a claim is made was not reasonably necessary and was carried out with a view to obtaining or increasing compensation. | ||
3. Before submitting the order to the Minister the board of health shall— | ||
(a) publish in one or more newspapers circulating within their district a notice in the prescribed form stating the fact of such an order having been made and describing the area comprised therein and naming a place where a copy of the order and of the map referred to therein may be seen at all reasonable hours; and | ||
(b) serve on every owner, lessee and occupier (except tenants for a month or a less period than a month) of any land to which the order relates, a notice in the prescribed form stating the effect of the order and that it is about to be submitted to the Minister for confirmation, and specifying the time within and the manner in which objections thereto can be made. | ||
4. If no objection is duly made by any of the persons upon whom notices are required to be served, or if all objections so made are withdrawn the Minister may, if he thinks fit, confirm the order with or without modification, but in any other case he shall before confirming the order cause a public local inquiry to be held, and shall consider any objection not withdrawn and the report of the person who held the inquiry, and may then confirm the order either with or without modification: | ||
Provided that— | ||
(a) the Minister may require any person who has made an objection to state in writing the grounds thereof, and may confirm the order without causing a public local inquiry to be held if he is satisfied that every objection duly made relates exclusively to matters which can be dealt with by the arbitrator by whom the compensation is to be assessed; | ||
(b) the order as confirmed by the Minister shall not authorise the board of health to purchase compulsorily any land which the order would not have authorised them so to purchase if it had been confirmed without modification. | ||
5. In construing for the purposes of this Schedule or any order made thereunder any enactment incorporated in the order this Act, together with the order, shall be deemed to be the special Act and the board of health shall be deemed to be the promoters of the undertaking. | ||
6. In this Schedule the word “prescribed” means prescribed by the Minister. |
