THE DOCKLANDS LIGHT RAILWAY (SILVERTOWN AND LONDON CITY AIRPORT EXTENSION) ORDER 2002
By the Docklands Light Railway (Silvertown and London City Airport Extension) Order 2002, Docklands Light Railway Limited is authorised to acquire land and interests in land for the purpose of constructing an extension of the Docklands Light Railway to Silvertown, London City Airport and North Woolwich and now intends to acquire the land described in the Schedule below by the execution of a General Vesting Declaration that will have the effect of transferring that land to Docklands Light Railway Limited. In relation to Docklands Light Railway Limited’s intention to execute a General Vesting Declaration, attention is drawn to the Statement of Effect of Parts II and III of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 set out below: Part 1 FORM OF STATEMENT OF EFFECT ON PARTS II AND III OF THE COMPULSORY PURCHASE (VESTING DECLARATIONS) ACT 1981 Power to make general vesting declaration 1. Docklands Light Railway Limited (hereinafter called “DLRL”) may acquire any of the land described in the Schedule below by making a general vesting declaration under section 4 of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981. This has the effect, subject to paragraph 4 below, of vesting the land in DLRL at the end of the period mentioned in paragraph 2 below. A declaration may not be made before the end of a period of two months from the first publication of a notice which includes this statement except with the consent in writing of every occupier of the land affected. Notices concerning general vesting declaration 2. As soon as may be after DLRL makes a general vesting declaration, it must serve notice of it on every occupier of any of the land specified in the declaration (except land where there is one of the tenancies described in paragraph 3) and on every person who gives it information relating to the land in pursuance of the invitation contained in any notice. When service of notices of the general vesting declaration is completed, a further period begins to run. This period, which must not be less than 28 days, will be specified in the declaration. On the first day after the end of this period (“the vesting date”) the land described in the declaration will, subject to what is said in paragraph 4, vest in DLRL together with the right to enter on the land and take possession of it. Every person on whom DLRL could have served a notice to treat in respect of his interest in the land (other than a tenant under one of the tenancies described in paragraph 3) will be entitled to claim compensation for the acquisition of his interest in the land, with interest on the compensation from the vesting date. Modifications with respect to certain tenancies 3. In case of certain tenancies, the position stated above is subject to modifications. The modifications apply where the tenancy is either a “minor tenancy”, ie a tenancy for a year or a yearly tenancy or a lesser interest, or “a long tenancy which is about to expire”. The latter expression means a tenancy granted for an interest greater than a minor tenancy but having on the vesting date a period still to run which is not more than the period specified in the declaration for this purpose (which must be more than a year). In calculating how long a tenancy has still to run, where any option to renew or to terminate it is available to either party, it shall be assumed that the landlord will take every opportunity open to him to terminate the tenancy while the tenant will use every opportunity to retain or renew his interest. 4. The modifications are that DLRL may not exercise the right of entry referred to in paragraph 2 in respect of land subject to a tenancy described in paragraph 3 unless it first serves notice to treat in respect of the tenancy and then serves every occupier of the land with a notice of its intention to enter and take possession after the period (not less than 14 days from the service of the notice) specified in the notice. The right of entry will be exercisable at the end of the period. The vesting of the land will be subject to the tenancy until the end of that period or until the tenancy comes to an end, whichever happens first. Schedule
