The proposed Order, if made, would amend the Nottingham Express Transit System Order 2009 (S.I. 2009 No.1300, referred to below as “the 2009 Order”) so as to enable the promoter referred to in the 2009 Order, which is expected to be Nottingham City Council, to acquire compulsorily certain land from The Nottinghamshire County Council that is required for the extension of the existing tram system authorised by the 2009 Order, and to provide for the vesting of certain replacement land (authorised to be acquired compulsorily under the 2009 Order) in the County Council rather than in Broxtowe Borough Council.
