Article 25 Time limit for exercise of powers of acquisition and temporary use of land
After the end of the period of five years beginning on the day on which this Order comes into force—
no notice to treat is to be served under Part 1 of the 1965 Act as applied to the acquisition of land by article 15 (application of part 1 of the 1965 Act); and
no declaration is to be executed under section 4 (execution of declaration) of the 1981 Act as applied by article 16 (application of the 1981 Act).
The powers conferred by articles 19 (temporary use of land in connection with the development) and 20 (temporary use of land for access) cease at the end of the period referred to in paragraph (1), except that nothing in this paragraph prevents the Council remaining in possession of land after the end of that period, if the land was entered and possession was taken before the end of that period.
