RAILWAYS CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION ACT 1845 - SECT 30

Company may occupy temporarily private roads within five hundred yards of the railway.

30. Subject to the provisions herein and in the special Act contained, it
shall be lawful for the company, at any time before the expiration of the
period by the special Act limited for the completion of the railway, to enter
upon and use any existing private road, being a road gravelled or formed with
stones or other hard materials, and not being an avenue or a planted or
ornamental road, or an approach to any mansion house, within the prescribed
limits, if any, or, if no limits be prescribed, not being more than five
hundred yards distant from the centre of the railway as delineated on the
plans; but before the company shall enter upon or use any such existing road
they shall give three weeks' notice of their intention to the owners and
occupiers of such road, and of the lands over which the same shall pass, and
shall in such notice state the time during which, and the purposes for which,
they intend to occupy such road, and shall pay to the owners and occupiers of
such road, and of the lands through which the same shall pass, such
compensation for the use and occupation of such road, either in a gross sum of
money or by half-yearly instalments, as shall be agreed upon between such
owners and occupiers respectively and the company, or in case they differ
about the compensation the same shall be settled by two justices, in the same
manner as any compensation not exceeding fifty pounds is directed to be
settled by the said Lands Clauses Consolidation Act.
