Article 32 Power to acquire rights

The Executive may acquire compulsorily such easements or other rights over any land referred to in sub-paragraph (a) or (b) of article 29 as may be required for any purpose for which that land may be acquired under that provision.

The Executive may acquire compulsorily such easements or other rights over any land specified in columns (1) and (2) of Part 2 of Schedule 2 to this Order (being land shown on the land plans and described in the book of reference) as may be required for any of the purposes specified in relation to that land in column (3) of that Part.

In paragraphs (1) and (2), the power compulsorily to acquire easements or other rights includes the power to do so by creating them as well as by acquiring easements or other rights already in existence.

Subject to section 8 of the 1965 Act (as substituted by paragraph 5 of Schedule 7 to this Order), where the Executive acquires a right over land under this Order, the Executive shall not be required to acquire a greater interest in it.

Schedule 7 to this Order shall have effect for the purpose of modifying the enactments relating to compensation and the provisions of the 1965 Act in their application in relation to the compulsory acquisition under this Order of a right over land by the creation of a new right.
