(1) Whenever the Board is of opinion that it is necessary to provide for the ultimate widening of any street by altering the existing alignments of such street to improved alignments to be prescribed by the Board, but that it is not necessary immediately to acquire all or any of the properties lying within the proposed improved alignment the Board may frame a "deferred street scheme" prescribing an alignment on each side of the street and specify the time limit for the execution of such scheme. (2) A deferred street scheme shall provide for the following matters, namely:- (a) the acquisition of the whole or any part of any property lying within the prescribed street alignments within the time limit specified in the scheme which may be extended by the Board from time to time: Provided that such time limit including the extension granted by the Board shall in no case exceed twenty years from the date of sanction of the scheme; (b) the re-laying out of all or any such property including the construction and re-construction of buildings by the Board or by any other person, and the formation and alignment of the street; (c) the draining, water supply and lighting of the street so formed and altered. (3) After a deferred street scheme has been sanctioned by the Board- (a) no person shall, except with the written permission of the Board, erect, re-erect, add to or alter any building or wall so as to make the same project into the prescribed alignment of the street; (b) if the Board fails to acquire or to institute proceedings for the acquisition of any property within the prescribed alignment of any street within the time limit as specified in the scheme or extended by it, the owner of such property may, at any time thereafter, give the Board notice requiring it to acquire or to institute proceedings for the acquisition of such property before the expiration of six months from the date of such notice and thereupon the Board shall acquire, or institute such proceedings and acquire the property accordingly and if the Board fails to do so, it shall pay reasonable compensation to the owner for any damage sustained by him in consequence of such failure; (c) before proceeding to acquire any property lying within the prescribed alignment of the street other than property regarding which it has received a notice under clause (b), the Board shall give six months' notice to the owner of its intention to acquire such property.
