Notwithstanding anything in this or any other Act, no appeal shall lie against any refusal of the Minister to approve any scheme plan or any variation of any scheme plan or to impose or vary any such conditions on the ground that the scheme plan or the conditions, or the variation thereof, as the case may be, have been prohibited by the local authority.”

Where—

then, notwithstanding the decision of the Board, the scheme plan or variation thereof shall not be deemed to have been approved for the purposes of this Act, or, as the case may be, the conditions shall not be deemed to have been imposed or varied, but all the provisions of this Act shall apply thereto as if the local authority had not prohibited the scheme plan or the conditions or the variation thereof, except to the extent (if any) to which the appeal was disallowed.”

Where any money is payable to the Receiver of Land Revenue under subsection three a or subsection five of this section, the Minister may require the owner or some other person to enter into a bond for the payment thereof. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection six of this section, any such bond in any case to which subsection five of this section applies may provide that the amount payable shall be determined by reference to the amounts for which specified allotments or a specified number of allotments are sold, or in any other manner whatsoever.

Every such bond shall be deemed to create an interest in land for the purposes of section one hundred and thirty-seven of the Land Transfer Act 1952, and any Chief Surveyor may on behalf of Her Majesty lodge with the District Land Registrar a caveat under that Act in respect of the land shown in the scheme plan. Any such caveat may be withdrawn, either as to the whole or as to any part of the land, by the Chief Surveyor.”

The Minister shall not direct any payment under paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) of subsection two of this section, unless he is of the opinion that the expenditure of the money will be of some benefit either to the residents of the county or counties in which the land included in the scheme plan was situated at the time of the approval of the plan or to the residents of the district of the local authority in which the land is situated at the time when the Minister directs the payment.

Where only part of the land included in any scheme plan has since the approval of the plan been incorporated in a borough or town district, a proportionate part only of the money received in respect of the land may be paid to the local authority under the provisions of paragraphs (e) and (f) of subsection two of this section. That proportion shall be determined by the Minister, whose decision shall be final.”
