The Secretary of State for Transport, in exercise of the powers conferred upon him by section 163 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999[1] hereby makes the following Order: Citation and commencement 1.This Order may be cited as the Transport for London (Waterloo Station) Order 2005 and shall come into force on 3rd August 2005. Consent 2.The Secretary of State hereby gives consent to Transport for London for the disposal of the freehold interest in the land described in the Schedule. Signed by authority of the Secretary of State for Transport Karen Buck Parliamentary Under Secretary of State Department for Transport 7th July 2005 All that land near Waterloo Station at York Road, London shown edged blue on the attached plan marked Plan 1, which is above the level of 6.3 metres below Ordnance Datum Newlyn. (This note is not part of the Order) Section 163 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 prohibits Transport for London from disposing of the freehold interest in any operational land without the consent of the Secretary of State. Under section 164 of that 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 land at York Road, London SE1 which is the subject of this Order has been operational land as defined in section 163(8) of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It includes the area once occupied by the former Bakerloo Line ticket hall at Waterloo Station. Section 163(3) provides that consent under section 163 is not required in respect of land which was formerly operational land if a period of at least five years has elapsed since the land was last operational land, but such a period has not yet elapsed in this case. Its disposal therefore requires the consent of the Secretary of State. The land is currently vested in London Underground Limited, a subsidiary of Transport for London, and the disposal shall be made by that company. The land is described by reference to Ordnance Datum Newlyn. "Ordnance Datum Newlyn" means the coordinate system for heights above mean sea level (orthometric heights) in Great Britain, originally based on the tide gauge readings at Newlyn, Cornwall. By this Order the Secretary of State for Transport gives consent to Transport for London for the disposal of a freehold interest in the land which is the subject of the Order. A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument because it has no impact on the costs of business. Notes: [1]1999 c. 29.back ISBN0 11 073075 5 -- Back --
