where the undertaker acquires an existing right over land or restrictive covenant under paragraph (1), the undertaker shall not be required to acquire a greater interest in that land.


(4) Schedule 7 (modification of compensation and compulsory purchase enactments for creation


of new rights) shall have effect for the purpose of modifying the enactments relating to compensation and the provisions of the 1965 Act in their application in relation to the compulsory acquisition under this article of a right over land by the creation of a new right or the imposition of restrictive covenants.


(5) In any case where the acquisition of new rights under paragraph (1) is required for the


purpose of diverting, replacing or protecting apparatus of a statutory undertaker, the undertaker may, with the consent of the Secretary of State, transfer the power to acquire such rights to the statutory undertaker in question.


(6) The exercise by a statutory undertaker of any power in accordance with a transfer under


paragraph (5) is subject to the same restrictions, liabilities and obligations as would apply under this Order if that power were exercised by the undertaker.


Private rights 18.—(1) Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights over land subject to


compulsory acquisition under this Order shall be extinguished—


(a) as from the date of acquisition of the land by the undertaker, whether compulsorily or by agreement; or


(b) on the date of entry on the land by the undertaker under section 11(1) of the 1965 Act (power of entry),


whichever is the earliest. (2) Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights over land subject to the compulsory


acquisition of rights under this article (and including those lands included in column (1) of Schedule 6 (land in which only new rights etc. may be acquired)) shall be extinguished in so far as their continuance would be inconsistent with the exercise of the right—


(a) as from the date of acquisition of the right by the undertaker, whether compulsorily or by agreement; or


(b) on the date of entry on the land by the undertaker under section 11(1) of the 1965 Act (power of entry),


whichever is the earlier. (3) Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights over land of which the undertaker


takes temporary possession under this Order shall be suspended and unenforceable for as long as the undertaker remains in lawful possession of the land.


(4) Any person who suffers loss by the extinguishment or suspension of any private right under


this article shall be entitled to compensation in accordance with the terms of section 152 of the 2008 Act to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act.


(5) This article does not apply in relation to any right to which section 138 of the 2008 Act


(extinguishment of rights, and removal of apparatus, of statutory undertakers etc.) or article 25 (statutory undertakers) applies.


(6) Paragraphs (1) to (3) shall have effect subject to— (a) any notice given by the undertaker before—


(i) the completion of the acquisition of the land or the acquisition of rights or the imposition of restrictive covenants over or affecting the land;


(ii) the undertaker’s entry onto it; or


(iii) the undertaker’s taking temporary possession of it, that any or all of those paragraphs do not apply to any right specified in the notice; and


(b) any agreement made at any time between the undertaker and the person in or to whom the right of way in question is vested or belongs.
