Commentary on provisions of the Act Schedule 9: Acquisition of rights in land: application of compulsory purchase legislation Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 and compensation enactments
Paragraphs 3(1)(a) and 4 make specific modifications to provisions of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 which are similarly needed to make them fit where rights are acquired, or restrictive covenants imposed, under that power. In addition paragraphs 1(b) and 3(1)(b) provide that enactments relating to compulsory acquisition are to have effect with such other modifications as may be necessary to make them apt where rights are acquired, or restrictive covenants imposed, under that power.
