Part 2: Compulsory Purchase Etc Chapter 2: Other provisions relating to compulsory purchase Section 37: Overriding easements: land held on behalf of GLA or TfL
This section amends the provisions for overriding easements in sections 203 to 206 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016 to ensure they work as intended for the Greater London Authority and Transport for London. The GLA and TfL have land-holding subsidiary companies, and can only carry on particular specified activities for a commercial purpose through a taxable body. These subsidiary companies do not have independent compulsory purchase powers. The provisions in the 2016 Act would therefore not function as intended without the amendments made by section 37.
	This section extends to England and Wales and applies to England only.
