The Network Rail (Ferryboat Lane Footbridge Reconstruction) (Land Acquisition) Order 2021

This Order confers powers on Network Rail to acquire compulsorily land required in connection with the construction and maintenance of a new, ramped footbridge over the Penistone to Doncaster railway (Network Rail Engineer’s Line Reference PED5) at Mexborough, referred to in this Order as the “development”. The development has separately been authorised by a grant of planning permission under Part 3 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (c. 8) from Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council. The Order also confers powers on Network Rail to take temporary possession of land in connection with the development and to use land, and the airspace above the surface of land, temporarily to oversail cranes and for construction access.
