(1)

Part I of the 1965 Act, insofar as not modified by, or inconsistent with, the provisions of this Order, applies to the acquisition of land under this Order as—

(a)

it applies to a compulsory purchase to which the Acquisition of Land Act 1981^f1 applies; and

(b)

if this Order were a compulsory purchase order under that Act.

(2)

Part I of the 1965 Act, as so applied, has effect as if—

(a)

section 4 (which provides a time limit for compulsory purchase of land) and paragraph 3(3) of Schedule 3 (which makes provisions as to the giving of bonds) were omitted; and

(b)

in section 11(1) (which confers powers to enter on and to take possession of land subject to a notice to treat on giving not less than 14 days' notice), for the reference to 14 days' notice, there were substituted in—

(i)

a case where the notice to treat relates only to the acquisition of subsoil or the acquisition of an easement or other right over the land, a reference to notice of one month; or
