Rights of successors to British Transport Commission
Desmo Paul wrote on 30 December 2009 07:38:35 ...
Does anyone know about the British Transport Commission Act 1949? I am told that it prevents anyone obtaining an easement over land owned by the BTC or their successors. The Land Registry says "Since the passing of the British Transport Commission Act 1949, it has not been possible to acquire a right of way by prescription over land owned by the commission and forming an access or approach to, among other things, any station, depot, dock or harbour belonging to the commission (s.57, British Transport Commission Act 1949). The references to the commissionmust now be read to include successor rail authorities and the BritishWaterways Board." I cannot find any version of the act and am wondering if anyone has the precise text? I haven't found the whole Act (it doesn't seem to be online at www.statutelaw.gov.uk ), but there's a direct quotation from the relevant section 57, as amended by later legislation, at http://www.planning-inspectorate.gov...3800_7_41m.pdf (see para. 8) -- Richard J. (to email me, swap 'uk' and 'yon' in address) |
