Commentary on provisions of the Act Part 3: Suspension of rights and enforcement Suspension of rights relating to land
Paragraph 9 provides for private rights (including rights of way, rights of common and restrictions as to user) over land of which temporary possession is taken under the Schedule to be suspended during the period of possession. This is subject to any direction to the contrary made by the nominated undertaker. Compensation is payable to anyone who suffers loss as a result of any such suspension, with any disputes about such compensation to be determined under the Land Compensation Act 1961.
	Paragraph 10 similarly provides for all general rights over land of which temporary possession is taken to be suspended during the period of possession. This is subject to any direction to the contrary made by the nominated undertaker. The general rights to which paragraph 10 applies include rights of access to, or other public rights over, the land under any enactment and rights exercisable under trusts over commons, town or village greens, open space or allotments.
