Motor vehicle restrictions 20 1 No person, except upon the direction or with the permission of a police officer or traffic officer in uniform, is to cause or permit any vehicle to proceed along any part of a road specified in Part 1 of Schedule 11 (motor vehicle access only restrictions) except for the purpose of access. 2 No person, except upon the direction or with the permission of a police officer or traffic officer in uniform, is to cause or permit any vehicle to proceed along the parts of road specified in columns (1) and (2) of Part 2 of Schedule 11 (one way streets) in a direction other than that specified in relation to that road in column (3) of Part 2 of Schedule 11 (one way streets). 3 Subject to paragraph (4) no person is to cause or permit any vehicle to enter the lay-by situated in the location described in column (1) of Part 3 of Schedule 11 (prohibition of entry to abnormal loads lay-by) at the point of entry described in column (2) of Part 3 of Schedule 11. 4 Nothing in paragraph (3) above applies— a to an abnormal load vehicle; b in relation to a vehicle being used; i to escort an abnormal load; ii for the maintenance, improvement or reconstruction of the layby; iii for the laying, erection, alteration or repair in or near the layby of any sewer or of any main pipe or apparatus for the supply of gas, water or electricity or of any electronic communications apparatus within the meaning given in paragraph 5 of the electronic communications code set out in Schedule 3A to the Communications Act 2003 on or near the layby referred to in column (2) of Part 3 of Schedule 11; iv for police, ambulance or fire brigade purposes; or v in the service of a local authority or of a water authority in pursuance of statutory powers or duties. 5 Subject to paragraph (6) no person, except upon the direction or with the permission of a police officer or traffic officer in uniform, is to cause or permit the length of road identified in Part 4 of Schedule 11 (buses and cyclists only) to be used by any vehicles other than a bus or cycle except for the purpose of access. 6 Nothing in paragraph (5) applies to a vehicle being used— a to allow people to board or alight; b in connection with— i building, industrial or demolition operations; ii the removal of any obstruction to traffic; iii the maintenance, improvement or reconstruction of the road including the verge; or iv the laying, erection, alteration or repair on, or in land adjacent to the road or verge of any sewer or of any main, pipe or apparatus for the supply of gas, water or electricity or of any telegraphic line as defined in the Telecommunications Act 1984; c in the service of a local authority, Highways England, or a statutory undertaker in pursuance of statutory powers or duties; d for the purpose of delivering or collecting postal packets as defined in the Postal Services Act 2000 by any universal service provider; or e for fire brigade, ambulance or police purposes. 7 Paragraphs (1) to (6) have effect as if made by a traffic regulation order under the 1984 Act, and their application may be varied or revoked by such an order or by any other enactment which provides for the variation or revocation of such orders. Agreements with highway authorities 21 1 A relevant highway authority and the undertaker may enter into agreements with respect to— a the construction of any new highway, including any structure carrying the highway over or under a railway authorised by this Order; b the strengthening, improvement, repair or reconstruction of any highway under the powers conferred by this Order; c the maintenance of the structure of any bridge carrying a highway over or under a railway; d the maintenance of landscaping within a highway constructed as part of the highway works; e any stopping up, alteration or diversion of a highway as part of or to facilitate the authorised development; or f the carrying out in the highway of any of the works referred to in article 10 (highway works). 2 Such an agreement may, without limitation on the scope of paragraph (1)— a make provision for the relevant highway authority to carry out any function under this Order which relates to the highway in question; b include an agreement between the undertaker and relevant highway authority specifying a reasonable time for the completion of the works; and c contain such terms as to payment and otherwise as the parties consider appropriate. PART 4 SUPPLEMENTAL POWERS Discharge of water 22 1 The undertaker may use any watercourse or any public sewer or drain for the drainage of water in connection with the carrying out or maintenance of the authorised development and for that purpose may lay down, take up and alter pipes and may, on any land within the Order limits, make openings into, and connections with, the watercourse, public sewer or drain. 2 Any dispute arising from the making of connections to or the use of a public sewer or drain by the undertaker under paragraph (1) must be determined as if it were a dispute under section 106 of the Water Industry Act 1991 (right to communicate with public sewers). 3 The undertaker must not discharge any water into any watercourse, public sewer or drain except with the consent of the person to whom it belongs; and such consent may be given subject to such terms and conditions as that person may reasonably impose, but must not be unreasonably withheld. 4 The undertaker must not make any opening into any public sewer or drain except— a in accordance with plans approved by the person to whom the sewer or drain belongs, but such approval must not be unreasonably withheld; and b where that person has been given the opportunity to supervise the making of the opening. 5 The undertaker must not, in carrying out or maintaining works under the powers conferred by this article damage or interfere with the bed or banks of any watercourse forming part of a main river. 6 The undertaker must take such steps as are reasonably practicable to secure that any water discharged into a watercourse or public sewer or drain under this article is as free as may be practicable from gravel, soil or other solid substance, oil or matter in suspension. 7 Nothing in this article overrides the requirement for an environmental permit under regulation 12(1)(b) of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 . 8 References to expressions in this article, excluding watercourse, which are used both in this article and in the Water Resources Act 1991 have the same meaning as in that Act. Authority to survey and investigate the land 23 1 The undertaker may for the purposes of this Order enter on any land shown within the Order limits or which may be affected by the authorised development and— a survey or investigate the land; b without limitation on the scope of sub-paragraph (a), make trial holes in such positions on the land as the undertaker thinks fit to investigate the nature of the surface layer and subsoil and remove soil samples; c without limitation on the scope of sub-paragraph (a), carry out ecological or archaeological investigations on such land; and d place on, leave on and remove from the land apparatus for use in connection with the survey and investigation of land and making of trial holes. 2 No land may be entered or equipment placed or left on or removed from the land under paragraph (1) unless at least 14 days’ notice has been served on every owner, who is not the undertaker, and occupier of the land. 3 Any person entering land under the powers conferred by this article on behalf of the undertaker— a must, if so required, produce written evidence of their authority to do so; and b may take with them such vehicles and equipment as are necessary to carry out the survey or investigation or to make the trial holes. 4 No trial holes may be made under this article— a in land located within the highway boundary without the consent of the relevant highway authority; or b in a private street without the consent of the relevant street authority; but such consent must not be unreasonably withheld. 5 The undertaker must compensate the owners and occupiers of the land for any loss or damage arising by reason of the exercise of the authority conferred by this article, such compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act (determination of questions of disputed compensation). PART 5 POWERS OF ACQUISITION Guarantees in respect of payment of compensation 24 1 The undertaker must not begin to exercise the powers in articles 24 to 32 in relation to any land unless it has first put in place either— a a guarantee in respect of the liabilities of the undertaker to pay compensation under this Order in respect of the exercise of the relevant power in relation to that land approved by the local planning authority; or b an alternative form of security for that purpose which has been approved by the local planning authority. 2 A guarantee or alternative form of security given in respect of any liability of the undertaker to pay compensation under the Order is to be treated as enforceable against the guarantor by any person to whom such compensation is payable and must be in such a form as to be capable of enforcement by such a person. 3 The guarantee or alternative form of security is to be in place for a maximum of 20 years from the date on which the relevant power is exercised. Compulsory acquisition of land and rights 25 1 The undertaker may acquire compulsorily the land and existing rights and create and acquire compulsorily the new rights described in the book of reference and shown on the land plans. 2 Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights over land subject to the compulsory acquisition of rights under the Order are extinguished in so far as their continuance would be inconsistent with the carrying out and use of the authorised development— a as from the date of the acquisition of the right by the undertaker, whether compulsorily or by agreement; or b on the date of entry on the land by the undertaker under section 11(1) (powers of entry) of the 1965 Act in pursuance of the right, whichever is the earlier. 3 The power to extinguish rights in paragraph (2) does not extend to the plots on the land plans referred to in Schedule 13 (land to which powers to extinguish rights do not apply). 4 Subject to section 8 (other provisions as to divided land) of the 1965 Act, as substituted by paragraph (5) of Schedule 14 (modifications of compensation and compulsory purchase enactments for creation of new rights), where the undertaker acquires an existing right over land under paragraph (1), the undertaker is not required to acquire a greater interest in that land. 5 Schedule 14 has effect for the purpose of modifying the enactments relating to compensation and the provisions of the 1965 Act in their application in relation to the compulsory acquisition under this article. 6 Subject to section 8 of the 1965 Act, as substituted by paragraph (5) of Schedule 14, where the undertaker creates a new right over land under paragraph (1), the undertaker is not required to acquire a greater interest in that land. Power to override easements and other rights 26 1 Any authorised activity undertaken by the undertaker which takes place on land within the Order limits (whether the activity is undertaken by the undertaker or by any person deriving title under it) is authorised by this Order if it is done in accordance with the terms of this Order, regardless of whether it involves— a an interference with an interest or right to which this article applies; or b a breach of a restriction as to the use of the land arising by virtue of a contract. 2 The interests and rights to which this article applies are any easement, liberty, privilege, right or advantage annexed to land and adversely affecting other land, including any natural right to support. 3 Nothing in this article authorises interference with any right of way or right of laying down, erecting, continuing or maintaining apparatus on, under or over land which is a right vested in or belonging to statutory undertakers for the purpose of the carrying on of their undertaking, or a right conferred by or in accordance with the electronic communications code on the operator of an electronic communications code network. 4 Where any interest or right to which this article applies is interfered with or any restriction breached by any authorised activity in accordance with the terms of this article the interest or right is extinguished, abrogated or discharged at the time that the interference or breach in respect of the authorised activity in question commences. 5 In respect of any interference, breach, extinguishment, abrogation or discharge under this article, compensation— a is payable under section 7 (measure of compensation in case of severance) or 10 (further provisions as to compensation for injurious affection) of the 1965 Act; and b is to be assessed in the same manner and subject to the same rules as in the case of other compensation under those sections in respect of injurious affection where— i the compensation is to be estimated in connection with a purchase under that Act; or ii the injury arises from the execution of works on or use of land acquired under that Act. 6 Nothing in this article is to be construed as authorising any act or omission on the part of any person which is actionable at the suit of any person on any grounds other than such an interference or breach as is mentioned in paragraph (1) of this article. 7 Nothing in this article is to be construed as restricting the entitlement of any person to compensation. 8 Where a person deriving title under the undertaker by whom the land in question was acquired or appropriated— a is liable to pay compensation; and b fails to discharge that liability, the liability is enforceable against the undertaker. 9 In this article— “the electronic communications code” has the same meaning as in Chapter 1 of Part 2 of the Communications Act 2003 ; “electronic communications code network” means— so much of an electronic communications network or conduit system provided by an electronic communications code operator as is not excluded from the application of the electronic communications code by a direction under section 106 of the Communications Act 2003; and an electronic communications network which the Secretary of State is providing or proposing to provide; and “operator” means the operator of an electronic communications code network. Compulsory acquisition of land – incorporation of the mineral code 27 Parts 2 and 3 of Schedule 2 to the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 (minerals) are incorporated in this Order subject to the modification that for “the acquiring authority” substitute “the undertaker”. Time limit for exercise of authority to acquire land and rights compulsorily 28 1 After the end of the period of 5 years beginning on the day on which the Order is made— a no notice to treat is to be served under Part 1 of the 1965 Act; and b no declaration is to be executed under section 4 (execution of declaration) of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 as applied by article 29 (application of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981). 2 The authority conferred by article 31 (temporary use of land for carrying out the authorised development) ceases at the end of the period referred to in paragraph (1), except that nothing in this paragraph prevents the undertaker remaining in possession of the land after the end of that period, if the land was entered and possession taken before the end of that period, subject always to the limitation in article 31(3) (temporary use of land for carrying out the authorised development). Application of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 29 1 The Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 applies as if this Order was a compulsory purchase order. 2 The Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981, as applied by paragraph (1), has effect with the following modifications. 3 In section 3 (preliminary notices) for subsection (1) substitute— 1 Before making a declaration under section 4 with respect to any land which is subject to a compulsory purchase order the acquiring authority must include the particulars specified in subsection (3) in a notice which is – a given to every person with a relevant interest in the land with respect to which the declaration is to be made (other than a mortgagee who is not in possession); and b published in a local newspaper circulating in the area in which the land is situated. . 4 In that section, in subsection (2), for “(1)(b)” substitute “(1)” and after “given” insert “and published”. 5 In that section, for subsections (5) and (6) substitute— 5 For the purposes of this section, a person has a relevant interest in land if— a that person is for the time being entitled to dispose of the fee simple of the land, whether in possession or in reversion; or b that person holds, or is entitled to the rents and profits of, the land under a lease or agreement, the unexpired term of which exceeds one month. 6 In section 5 (earliest date for execution of declaration) — a in subsection (1), after “publication” insert “in a local newspaper circulating in the area in which the land is situated”; and b omit subsection (2). 7 In section 7 (constructive notice to treat), in subsection (1)(a), omit “(as modified by section 4 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981)”. 8 References to the 1965 Act in the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 are to be construed as references to that Act as applied by section 125 (application of compulsory acquisition provision) of the 2008 Act to the compulsory acquisition of land and rights under this Order. Rights under or over streets 30 1 The undertaker may with the agreement of the relevant street authority enter on and appropriate so much of the subsoil of, or air-space over, any street within the Order limits as may be required for the purposes of the authorised development and may use the subsoil or air-space for those purposes or any other purpose ancillary to the authorised development. 2 Subject to paragraph (3), the undertaker may exercise any power conferred by paragraph (1) in relation to a street without being required to acquire any part of the street or any easement or right in the street. 3 Paragraph (2) does not apply in relation to— a any subway or underground building; or b any cellar, vault, arch or other construction in, on or under a street which forms part of a building fronting onto the street. 4 Subject to paragraph (5), any person who is an owner or occupier of land appropriated under paragraph (1) without the undertaker acquiring any part of that person’s interest in the land, and who suffers loss as a result, is entitled to compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. 5 Compensation is not payable under paragraph (4) to any person whom section 85 (sharing cost of necessary measures) of the 1991 Act applies in respect of measures of which the allowable costs are to be borne in accordance with that section. Temporary use of land for carrying out the authorised development 31 1 The undertaker may, in connection with the carrying out of the authorised development— a enter into and take temporary possession of the land specified in columns (1) and (2) of Schedule 12 (land of which temporary possession may be taken) for the purpose specified in relation to that land in column (3) of that Schedule relating to the part of the authorised development specified in column (4) of that Schedule; b remove any buildings and vegetation from that land; and c construct and use temporary works (including the provision of means of access) and buildings on that land. 2 Not less than 14 days before entering on and taking temporary possession of land under this article the undertaker must serve notice of the intended entry on the owners and occupiers of the land. 3 The undertaker may not, without the agreement of the owners of the land, remain in possession of any land under this article after the end of the period of one year beginning with the date of completion of the part of the authorised development specified in relation to that land in column (4) of Schedule 12. 4 Before giving up possession of land of which temporary possession has been taken under this article, the undertaker must remove all temporary works and restore the land to the reasonable satisfaction of the owners of the land; but the undertaker is not required to replace a building removed under this article. 5 The undertaker must pay compensation to the owners and occupiers of land of which temporary possession is taken under this article for any loss or damage arising from the exercise in relation to the land of the provisions of any power conferred by this article. 6 Any dispute to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (5), or as to the amount of the compensation, must be determined under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. 7 Nothing in this article affects any liability to pay compensation under section 152 (compensation in case where no right to claim in nuisance) of the 2008 Act or under any other enactment in respect of loss or damage arising from the carrying out of the authorised development, other than loss or damage for which compensation is payable under paragraph (5). 8 For the avoidance of doubt unless provided for in the book of reference and article 25 (compulsory acquisition of land and rights) the undertaker may not compulsorily acquire under this Order the land referred to in paragraph (1). 9 Where the undertaker takes possession of land under this article, the undertaker is not required to acquire the land or any interest in it. 10 Section 13 (refusal to give possession to acquiring authority) of the 1965 Act applies to the temporary use of land under this article to the same extent as it applies to the compulsory acquisition of land under this Order by virtue of section 125 (application of compulsory acquisition provisions) of the 2008 Act. Apparatus and rights of statutory undertakers in stopped up streets 32 1 Where a street is stopped up under article 11 (stopping up of streets) any statutory utility whose apparatus is under, in, on, along or across the street has the same powers and rights in respect of that apparatus, subject to the provisions of this article, as if this Order had not been made. 2 Where a street is stopped up under article 11 any statutory utility whose apparatus is under, in, on, over, along or across the street may, and if reasonably requested to do so by the undertaker must — a remove the apparatus and place it or other apparatus provided in substitution for it in such other position as the statutory utility may reasonably determine and have power to place it; or b provide other apparatus in substitution for the existing apparatus and place it in such position as described in sub-paragraph (a). 3 Subject to the following provisions of this article, the undertaker must pay to any statutory utility an amount equal to the cost reasonably incurred by the statutory utility in or in connection with— a the execution of the relocation works required in consequence of the stopping up of the street; and b the doing of any other work or thing rendered necessary by the execution of the relocation works. 4 If in the course of the execution of relocation works under paragraph (2)— a apparatus of a better type, of greater capacity or of greater dimensions is placed in substitution for existing apparatus; or b apparatus (whether existing apparatus or apparatus substituted for existing apparatus) is placed at a depth greater than the depth at which the existing apparatus was, and the placing of that new apparatus involves additional costs which would not have been incurred if the apparatus had been of the same type, capacity or laid at the same depth as the existing apparatus, then the amount payable to the statutory utility is to be reduced by a sum equivalent to those additional costs. 5 For the purposes of paragraph (4)— a an extension of apparatus to a length greater than the length of existing apparatus is not to be treated as a placing of apparatus of greater dimensions than those of the existing apparatus; and b where the provision of a joint in a cable is agreed, or is determined to be necessary, the consequential provision of a jointing chamber or of a manhole is to be treated as if it also had been agreed or had been so determined. 6 An amount which, apart from this paragraph, would be payable to a statutory utility in respect of works by virtue of paragraph (3) (and having regard, where relevant, to paragraph (4)), if the works include the placing of apparatus provided in substitution for apparatus placed more than 7 years and 6 months earlier so as to confer on the statutory utility any financial benefit by deferment of the time for renewal of the apparatus in the ordinary course, is to be reduced by the amount which represents that benefit. 7 Paragraphs (3) to (6) do not apply where the authorised development constitutes major highway works, major bridge works or major transport works for the purposes of Part 3 of the 1991 Act, but instead— a the allowable costs of the relocation works must be determined in accordance with section 85 (sharing of cost of necessary measures) of that Act and any regulations for the time being having effect under that section; and b the allowable costs must be borne by the undertaker and the statutory utility in such proportions as may be prescribed by any such regulations. PART 6 MISCELLANEOUS AND GENERAL Operation and use of railways 33 1 The undertaker may operate and use the railway comprised in the authorised development and any other elements of the authorised development as a system, or part of a system, of transport for the carriage of goods. 2 Nothing in this Order, or in any enactment incorporated with or applied by this Order, prejudices or affects the operation of Part 1 (the provision of railway services) of the Railways Act 1993 . Operational land for the purposes of the 1990 Act 34 Development consent granted by this Order within that part of the Order limits upon which the highway works are to be carried out is to be treated as specific planning permission for the purposes of section 264(3)(a) of the 1990 Act (cases in which land is to be treated as operational land for the purposes of that Act). Charges 35 The undertaker may demand, take or recover or waive such charges for carrying goods on the railway comprised in the authorised development, or for any other services or facilities provided in connection with the operation of that railway, as it thinks fit. Defence to proceedings in respect of statutory nuisance 36 1 Where proceedings are brought under section 82(1) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (summary proceedings by persons aggrieved by statutory nuisance) in relation to a nuisance falling within paragraph (g) of section 79(1) of that Act (noise emitted from premises so as to be prejudicial to health or a nuisance) no order may be made, and no fine may be imposed, under section 82(2) of that Act if— a the defendant shows that the nuisance— i relates to premises used by the undertaker for the purposes of or in connection with the construction or maintenance of the authorised development and that the nuisance is attributable to the carrying out of the authorised development in accordance with a notice served under section 60 (control of noise on construction site), or a consent given under section 61 (prior consent for work on construction site) of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 ; or ii is a consequence of the construction or maintenance of the authorised development and that it cannot reasonably be avoided; or b the defendant shows that the nuisance is a consequence of the use of the authorised development and that it cannot be reasonably avoided. 2 Section 61(9) of the Control of Pollution Act 1974, does not apply where the consent relates to the use of the premises by the undertaker for the purposes of or in connection with the construction or maintenance of the authorised development. Felling or lopping of trees 37 1 Subject to sub-paragraph (4) the undertaker may fell or lop any tree, shrub or hedgerow near any part of the authorised development, or cut back its roots, if it reasonably believes it to be necessary to do so to prevent the tree, shrub or hedgerow— a from obstructing or interfering with the construction, maintenance or operation of the authorised development or any apparatus used in connection with the authorised development; or b from constituting a danger to persons using the authorised development. 2 In carrying out any activity authorised by paragraph (1), the undertaker must not cause unnecessary damage to any tree, shrub or hedgerow and must pay compensation to any person for any loss or damage arising from such activity. 3 Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (2), or as to the amount of compensation, must be determined under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. 4 The provisions of this article do not apply without the agreement of the local planning authority to any tree or hedgerow identified to be retained in the landscaping scheme approved under requirement 8 (provision of landscaping and ecological mitigation). 5 The provisions of this article do not apply without the agreement of the relevant highway authority to any tree within a highway.

Governance of requirements and protection of interests relating to highway works 42 1 When in any requirement or in Schedule 19 (for the protection of Highways England) or Schedule 20 (for the protection of Leicestershire County Council as highway authority) approval or agreement is required of, or with, any body in relation to the content, carrying out or use of the authorised works (including for the avoidance of doubt the approval of details or plans under the requirements) such approval or agreement must not be given if it would give rise to development outside the parameters of the authorised development referred to in article 4 (parameters of authorised development). 2 When any details, plans or other matters have been agreed or approved by the local planning authority under a requirement or the relevant highway authority under a requirement or Schedule 19 or Schedule 20 then they may subsequently be amended by agreement with the local planning authority or relevant highway authority as the case may be provided that no amendments to those details, plans or other matters may be approved where such amendments would permit development outside the scope of the authorised development or development which would give rise to any significant adverse environmental effects that have not been assessed in the environmental statement (Document 5.2) or any updated environmental information supplied under the 2009 EIA Regulations. 3 Unless otherwise stated in a requirement the requirement is enforceable by the local planning authority.
