Paragraph 148 Compulsory acquisition of land and rights
Subject to sub-paragraph (2), the undertaker must not permanently acquire any interest in plots 16-006, 16-007 and 16-008 until the design of the New National Grid Substation has been finalised, and the final location of the undertaker’s connection bay has been identified and notified to the undertaker, and the extent of land rights necessary for the connection (cable route location and extent of access rights and easement) has been agreed with National Grid.
Where, before the design of the New National Grid Substation has been finalised and the final location of the undertaker’s connection bay has been identified and notified to the undertaker—
it is reasonably necessary to maintain the undertaker’s construction programme; or
the expiry of temporary possession powers in plots 16-006, 16-007 and 16-008 means that it is necessary for the undertaker to acquire permanent land rights in plots 16-006, 16-007 and 16-008;
then the undertaker may exercise powers under this Order to compulsorily acquire the necessary rights for the cables and access thereto over all of plots 16-006, 16-007 and 16-008.
