§
29E.—(1) An authorised officer of the Council may enter, examine and lay open the lands authorised by this Act to be taken and used or any of them for the purpose of surveying, measuring, taking levels, examining works and valuing the said lands or any other purpose ancillary to the powers conferred by this Act :
Provided that such power shall not be exercised with respect to any lands unless notice of the intention to enter such lands and the nature of the operations to be carried out has been given to the occupier not less than seven days before the first entry and in any case further notice shall not be required in respect of any subsequent entry on the lands for the purpose of carrying out the operations specified in the notice.
(2) An authorised officer acting in the exercise of the powers conferred by the preceding subsection shall cause as little detriment or inconvenience to any person as the circumstances allow, and the Council shall, subject to the provisions of this Act, make compensation to the owners and occupiers of any lands injuriously affected by the exercise of these powers.—[Mr. Grimond.]
