(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 163 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 ("the Act") prohibits Transport for London from disposing of the freehold interest in any land which is or has been operational land, or granting a leasehold interest in such land for a term of more than fifty years, without the consent of the Secretary of State. Operational land is defined in section 163(8) of the Act. Consent is not required in respect of land which has been operational land if a period of at least five years has elapsed since the land was last operational land (section 163(3)).
Under section 164 of the Act Transport for London is required to ensure that none of its subsidiaries does anything which Transport for London has no power to do (including anything which Transport for London has no power to do because the consent of the Secretary of State has not been obtained). The parcels of land identified in Schedules 1 and 2 of this Order have been operational land within the past five years. The parcels of land identified in Schedules 3, 4, 5 and 6 of this Order are currently operational land. The grant of leasehold interests for terms of more than fifty years in the parcels of land identified in Schedules 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6, and the disposal of the freehold interest in the parcel of land identified in Schedule 4, therefore require the consent of the Secretary of State. London Underground Limited, a subsidiary of Transport for London, shall make the disposal of the freehold interest and the grants of the leasehold interests which are the subject matter of the Order.
By this Order the Secretary of State for Transport gives consent to Transport for London for the grant of leasehold interests for terms of more than fifty years in the parcels of land identified in Schedules 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 of the Order. By this Order the Secretary of State for Transport also gives consent to Transport for London for the disposal of the freehold interest in the parcel of land identified in Schedule 4 of the Order.
