Commentary on provisions of the Act Schedule 28: Local Acts London Squares Preservation Act 1931
Paragraph 1 disapplies section 3 of the London Squares Preservation Act 1931, which restricts the use of, and the carrying out of works in, specified London squares to recreational purposes, as respects anything done for Phase One of High Speed 2. Paragraph 1(2) similarly disapplies the provisions of any agreement made under section 9 of the 1931 Act between the relevant London borough council and the owner of a square protected under the 1931 Act which might otherwise restrict the construction of Phase One of High Speed 2. The disapplications are required because works are to be carried out on, and use is to be made of, parts of Euston Square, Ampthill Square, Harrington Square and Camden Gardens.
