Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981

1981 CHAPTER 66cross-notesI1

An Act to consolidate the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act 1968 concerning general vesting declarations, and related enactments.

[30th October 1981]

Part I General

1 Application of Act.

(1)This Act has effect for the purpose of enabling any authority to whom this section applies to vest in themselves by a declaration land which they are authorised by a compulsory purchase order to acquire, and with respect to connected matters.

(2)This section applies to any Minister of local or other public authority authorised to acquire land by means of a compulsory purchase order.

2 Interpretation and construction.

(1)In this Act—

(2) In this Act “ long tenancy which is about to expire ”, in relation to a general vesting declaration, 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 specified period (that is to say, such period, longer than one year, as may for the purposes of this definition be specified in the declaration in relation to the land in which the tenancy subsists).

In determining for the purposes of this subsection what period a tenancy still has to run on the vesting date it shall be assumed—

(a)that the tenant will exercise any option to renew the tenancy, and will not exercise any option to terminate the tenancy, then or thereafter available to him,

(b)that the landlord will exercise any option to terminate the tenancy then or thereafter available to him.

(3)[F2 Section 330 of the M2Town and Country Planning Act 1990F2] (information as to interests in land) shall have effect as if this Act were part of that Act.

4 Execution of declaration. cross-notes

(1)F4The acquiring authority may execute in respect of any of the land which they are authorised to acquire by the compulsory purchase order a declaration in the prescribed form vesting the land in themselves from the end of such period as may be specified in the declaration ....

[F5 (1ZA)That period must be—

(a)where the expedited procedure is available (see section 4A), not less than six weeks from the date on which the service of notices required by section 6 is completed;

(b)otherwise not less than three months from that date.F5]

[F6 (1A)But an acquiring authority may not execute a declaration in respect of land if they have served a notice to treat in respect of that land and have not withdrawn it.

(1B) In subsection (1A) the reference to an authority having “served” a notice does not include cases in which the authority is deemed to have served a notice. F6]

(2)For the purposes of this Act a certificate by the acquiring authority that the service of notices required by section 6 below was completed on a date specified in the certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the fact so stated.

[F7 (3) For the purposes of this Act the “ vesting date ” in relation to any land that is actually specified in a general vesting declaration is—

(a)the first day after the end of the period specified in the declaration in accordance with subsection (1) above, or

(b)if a counter-notice is served under paragraph 2 of Schedule A1 within that period in relation to land, the day determined as the vesting date for the land in accordance with that Schedule.

(4) For the purposes of this Act, the “vesting date” for any land that is deemed to have been specified in a general vesting declaration by Schedule A1 is the day determined as the vesting date for the land in accordance with that Schedule. F7]

[F84A Vesting date: expedited procedure

(1)The expedited procedure is available in relation to a general vesting declaration if—

(a)the specified land is unoccupied,

(b)the acquiring authority considers that, by reason of disrepair, neglect, contamination, or risk to health or safety, the specified land is unfit for its ordinary use, and

(c)Schedule A1 does not apply to the declaration.

(2)The expedited procedure is also available in relation to a general vesting declaration if the acquiring authority has been unable to identify any person with an interest in the specified land.

(3)Land is not to be regarded as occupied for the purposes of subsection (1)(a)—

(a)if it is occupied only by persons who do not have a right to occupy it;

(b)because of the presence of chattels on the land if the chattels appear to the acquiring authority to be of no significant value.

(4)The ordinary use of land is to be taken for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) to be—

(a)so far as the land comprises buildings or other features designed or adapted for a particular use, that use, and

(b)so far as the land does not comprise such buildings or features, its most recent lawful use.

(5)If the specified land includes one or more dwellings, the acquiring authority may decide that it is unfit for its ordinary use only if it considers that the dwelling, or each of those dwellings, is unfit for human habitation within the meaning of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 (see section 10 of that Act).

(6)In this section—

[F84B Expedited procedure: process

(1)This section applies where the acquiring authority has executed a general vesting declaration under the expedited procedure.

(2)A person may, at any time before the end of the period of four weeks beginning with the date on which the general vesting declaration is executed, make representations to the acquiring authority that the expedited procedure is not available in relation to the declaration.

(3)The representations need not be in writing.

(4)The acquiring authority must provide a written response to the representations before the end of the period of seven days beginning with the day on which it received them.

(5)If, at any time between the execution of the general vesting declaration and the vesting date, the acquiring authority becomes aware of a reason why the expedited procedure is not available (whether as a result of representations or otherwise), the authority must amend the general vesting declaration so that the period specified in it complies with section 4(1ZA)(b) (period of at least three months from service of notices).

(6)If the acquiring authority amends the general vesting declaration under subsection (5), it must serve notice of the amendment on—

(a)every person who has made representations under subsection (2), and
