# Compulsory Purchase Act 1965, Section 8: Other provisions as to divided land.

Extent: E+W

(1) Schedule 2A makes provision in respect of a proposal by an acquiring authority to acquire part only of a—
(a) house, building or factory, or
(b) park or garden belonging to a house.
(2) If any land which is not situated in a town or built upon is cut through and divided by the works so as to leave, either on both sides of the works, or on one side, a quantity of land which is less than half an acre, the owner of the land may require the acquiring authority to purchase the land along with the land subject to compulsory purchase:
Provided that this subsection shall not apply if the owner has other land adjoining the land so left into which it can be thrown so as to be conveniently occupied with it, and in that case the acquiring authority shall, if so required by the owner, at their own expense throw the piece of land so left into the adjoining land by removing the fences and levelling the sites thereof, and by soiling it in a satisfactory and workmanlike manner.
(3) If the owner of any land cut through and divided by the works requires the acquiring authority under the provisions of the special Act to make any bridge, culvert or other communication between the land so divided, and—
(a) the land is so cut through and divided as to leave, either on both sides or on one side, a quantity of land which is less than half an acre, or which is of less value than the expense of making the communication between the divided land, and
(b) the owner has not other land adjoining that piece of land,
the acquiring authority may require the owner to sell them the piece of land.
Any dispute as to the value of the piece of land, or as to the expense of making a communication between the divided land shall be determined by the Upper Tribunal, and either party to proceedings for determining the compensation to be paid for the land acquired may require the Upper Tribunal to make its determination under this subsection in those proceedings.
