Access to Neighbouring Land Act 1992

An access order authorizes the applicant – to enter on the subject land for the purpose of carrying out work specified in the order; and to bring on, leave on and remove from the land such materials, plant and equipment as are reasonably necessary for carrying out the work; and to leave on and remove from the land any waste that may arise from carrying out the work and removing it – and also authorizes the entry on the land by such number of servants, agents and other persons authorized by the applicant as are reasonably necessary for carrying out the work.

An access order requires the applicant – to make good the subject land so far as is reasonably practicable before such date as may be specified in the order for that purpose; and to indemnify the owner of the subject land against damage to the land or personal property resulting from entry as authorized by the order – and also requires the owner of the subject land to permit the applicant to take any action specified in the order.

In addition to the powers conferred by section 10, the court may, on making an access order, dispense (wholly or in part) with or vary any action authorized or required to be taken under subsection (1)(b) or (c) or (2).
