Part 7: Compulsory Purchase Etc Right to enter and survey land Schedule 14: Right to enter and survey land: consequential amendments
Schedule 14 amends existing powers of entry so that, in future, the new general power of entry will apply for the purposes of survey and valuation in connection with a proposal to acquire an interest in or a right over land instead. Where the new general power covers all the purposes of the existing power, the existing power has been repealed. Where the existing power is wider in scope than the new general power, the existing power has been disapplied only for the purposes for which the new general power will be available in the future.
	Some of the existing powers which have been repealed also allow entry in connection with any claim for compensation in respect of an acquisition. The new general power of entry in section 172 does not cover this purpose. However, the amendment made by paragraph 6 of Schedule 14 to the Act clarifies that the power of entry in section 11(3) of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965 can be used for this purpose.
