Article 22 Power to acquire subsoil only

The Council may compulsorily acquire so much of the subsoil of the land referred to in paragraph (1)(a) or (b) of article 18 as may be required for any purpose for which that land may be acquired under that provision instead of acquiring the whole of the land.

Subject to paragraph (3), where the Council acquires any part of the subsoil of land under paragraph (1) it shall not be required to acquire an interest in any other part of the land.

Paragraph (2) shall not prevent section 8 of the 1965 Act or article 26 from applying where the Council acquires a cellar, vault, arch or other construction forming part of a house, building or factory.
