The Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions (“the Secretary of State”), has prepared in draft these compulsory purchase orders which he proposes to make. If made, they will authorise the purchase of land (“the order land”) and new rights over land (“the rights land”) which forms part of an open space as defined in the Act; that is, land laid out as a public garden or used for the purposes of public recreation or a disused burial ground. 2. The Order will be subject to special Parliamentary procedure unless the Secretary of State gives a certificate in accordance with the provisions of section 19 of and paragraph 6 of Schedule 3 to, the Act. The Secretary of State has been asked to certify: (a) under the provisions of section 19(1)(a), that he is satisfied that there has been or will be given in exchange for the order land other land (“the exchange land”) which is not less in area and is equally advantageous to persons, if any, entitled to rights of common or other rights, and to the public, and that the exchange land has been or will be vested in the persons in whom the order land was vested, and subject to the rights, trusts and incidents as attach to the order land; and (b) under paragraph 6(1)(b) of Schedule 3, that there has been or will be given in exchange for the rights, additional land, which will as respects the persons in whom there is vested the land over which the rights are to be acquired, the persons, if any, entitled to rights of common or other rights over that land, and the public, be adequate to compensate them for the disadvantages which result from the acquisition of the rights, and that the additional land has been or will be vested in the persons in whom there is vested the land over which the rights are to be acquired, and subject to the like rights, trusts and incidents as attach to that land apart from the compulsory purchase orders. 3. The order land is described in the First Schedule to this notice; the rights land and the rights which are to be acquired over it are described in the Second Schedule and the exchange land is described in the Third Schedule. On the plan referred to in the paragraph 5 below, the order land is shown coloured pink, the rights land is shown coloured blue and the exchange land is shown coloured green. 4. The Secretary of State is required to give public notice of his intention to give a certificate before he reaches a decision, to afford an opportunity for representations and objections to be made. He hereby gives that notice. Any representations or objections in relation to this proposal should be addressed in writing to the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions, at the Government Office for London, Floor 9, Riverwalk House, 157-161 Millbank, London SW1P 4RR, before 29th July 1999, and quoting Ref.
