Part 2: Compulsory Purchase Etc Chapter 1: Temporary possession of land Section 29: Supplementary provisions
This section requires the Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers to make regulations about the reinstatement of land subject to temporary possession and the resolution of disputes about reinstatement by an independent person. The Secretary of State may also make regulations excluding the application of any of the temporary provisions of this Chapter in relation to an acquiring authority under the Pipe-lines Act 1962, the Gas Acts 1965 and 1986 or the Electricity Act 1989. This will put the acquiring authority on the same footing as bodies who are acquiring authorities under the Harbours Act 1964, the Transport and Works Act 1992, and the Planning Act 2008.
	This section also provides the Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers with the power to make other regulations in relation to the authorisation and exercise of the power to take temporary possession. Regulations may for example make different provision for different types of land to be occupied (such as residential) and may require an acquiring authority to provide specified information relating to the temporary possession period to specified persons. The Secretary of State or the Welsh Ministers are required to carry out a public consultation before making regulations under this section.
	This section extends and applies to England and Wales only.
