Power for responsible authority to acquire land. |
42.—(1) At any time after a planning scheme comes into operation, the responsible authority shall, in addition and without prejudice to any power of acquiring land conferred by any other Act, have power to acquire land in the area to which such scheme relates in any of the following circumstances, that is to say:— | |
(a) where the land is required for the improvement, in accordance with such scheme, of the frontage of any road or for controlling, in accordance with such scheme, the development of the frontage of any road or | ||
(b) where the land is held in separate plots and, by reason of either the inconvenient arrangement or shape of such plots or the multiplicity of interests in such land, it is not reasonably practicable for such land to be developed in accordance with such scheme unless such land is acquired by the responsible authority, or | ||
(c) where the land is part of the site of a road which has been closed in pursuance of a provision contained in such scheme. | ||
(2) For the purpose of the acquisition of land by a responsible authority under this section, sections 203, 214, and 215 of the Public Health (Ireland) Act, 1878, as amended by section 8 of the Public Health (Ireland) Act, 1896, and section 68 of the Local Government Act, 1925 (No. 5 of 1925), shall apply as if those sections as so amended were herein re-enacted and made applicable to such responsible authority with and subject to the modifications made by this Act in the procedure under the said sections. | ||
(3) A responsible authority may at any time, with the consent of the Minister, sell or let by public auction or private treaty in suitable lots any land acquired by such authority under this section. |
