Construction and maintenance of new, altered or diverted streets 14 1 Any street to be constructed under this Order shall be completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the highway authority and shall, unless otherwise agreed between the promoter and the highway authority, be maintained by and at the expense of the promoter for a period of 12 months from its completion and after the expiry of that period by and at the expense of the highway authority. 2 Where a street is altered or diverted under this Order, the altered or diverted part of the street shall, when completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority, unless otherwise agreed, be maintained by and at the expense of the promoter for a period of 12 months from its completion and after the expiry of that period by and at the expense of the street authority. 3 Paragraphs (1) and (2) do not apply in relation to the structure of any bridge or tunnel carrying a street over a tramroad or carrying a tramroad over a street and except as provided in those paragraphs the promoter shall not be liable to maintain the surface of any street in, on, under or over which the scheduled works shall be constructed, or the immediate approaches to any such street, unless otherwise agreed with the street authority. 4 In any action against the promoter in respect of loss or damage resulting from any failure by it to maintain a street under this article, it shall be a defence (without affecting any other defence or the application of the law relating to contributory negligence) to prove that the promoter had taken such care as in all the circumstances was reasonably required to secure that the part of the street to which the action relates was not dangerous to traffic. 5 For the purposes of a defence under paragraph (4), the court shall in particular have regard to the following matters— a the character of the street including its use for a tramway, and the traffic which was reasonably to be expected to use it; b the standard of maintenance appropriate for a street of that character and used by such traffic; c the state of repair in which a reasonable person would have expected to find the street; d whether the promoter knew, or could reasonably have been expected to know, that the condition of the part of the street to which the action relates was likely to cause danger to users of the street; and e where the promoter could not reasonably have been expected to repair that part of the street before the cause of action arose, what warning notices of its condition had been displayed, but for the purposes of such a defence it is not relevant that the promoter had arranged for a competent person to carry out or supervise the maintenance of that part of the street to which the action relates unless it is also proved that the promoter had given the competent person proper instructions with regard to the maintenance of the street and that the competent person had carried out those instructions. Construction of bridges and tunnels 15 Any bridge or tunnel to be constructed under this Order for carrying a highway over or under the authorised tramroad shall be constructed in accordance with plans and specifications approved by the highway authority, but such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Restoration of streets if street tramway discontinued 16 If the promoter abandons the construction of, or permanently ceases to operate any of, the authorised street tramways (“the discontinued tramway”), it shall as soon as reasonably practicable and unless otherwise agreed with the street authority— a remove from any street in which the discontinued tramway is laid the rails and any other works, equipment and apparatus which have become redundant; and b restore, to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority, the portion of the street along which the discontinued tramway was laid, or redundant works, equipment and apparatus were laid, regard being had to— i the condition of the street before the tramway was laid; and ii the nature of the traffic using the street at the time of the discontinuance.

New road crossings 18 1 Where by virtue of the creation of a highway or other road after the day on which application was made for this Order under section 6 of the Transport and Works Act 1992 , the authorised tramroad would cross that highway or road, then the promoter may construct the tramroad so as to carry it on the level across the highway or road. 2 The promoter may provide, maintain and operate at or near any new road crossing such protective equipment as the Office of Rail Regulation may in writing approve. 3 Any traffic sign placed pursuant to this article on or near a highway or other road to which the public has access shall be treated for the purposes of section 64(4) of the 1984 Act as having been placed as provided by that Act. 4 Without limiting the scope of article 8 (power to alter layout, etc., of streets), the promoter may in the exercise of the powers conferred by this article alter the level of any highway or road referred to in paragraph (1). 5 The highway authority may enter into agreements with the promoter with respect to the construction and maintenance of any new road crossing; and such an agreement may contain such terms as to payment or otherwise as the parties consider appropriate. 6 In this article— “new road crossing” means the place at which the authorised tramroad crosses a highway or other road on the level under the powers conferred by this article; and “protective equipment” includes lights, traffic signs (within the meaning of section 64(1) of the 1984 Act), manual, mechanical, automatic, electrical or telephonic equipment or other devices.

Discharge of water 21 1 The promoter may use any watercourse or any public sewer or drain for the drainage of water in connection with the construction, operation or maintenance of the authorised works and for that purpose may lay down, take up and alter pipes and may, on any land within the Order limits, or in any street along which the authorised street tramway is authorised to be laid, make openings into, and connections with, the watercourse, sewer or drain. 2 Any dispute arising from the exercise of the power under paragraph (1) to connect to or use a public sewer or drain shall be determined as if it were a dispute under section 106 of the Water Industry Act 1991 . 3 The promoter shall 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 shall not be unreasonably withheld. 4 The promoter shall 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 shall not be unreasonably withheld; and b where that person has been given the opportunity to supervise the making of the opening. 5 The promoter shall not, in the exercise of 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 promoter shall take such steps as are reasonably practicable to secure that any water discharged into a watercourse or public sewer or drain under the powers conferred by this article is as free as may be practicable from gravel, soil or other solid substance, oil or matter in suspension. 7 This article does not authorise the entry into controlled waters of any matter whose entry or discharge into controlled waters is prohibited by section 85(1), (2) or (3) of the Water Resources Act 1991 . 8 In this article— a “public sewer or drain” means a sewer or drain which belongs to a sewerage undertaker, the Environment Agency, an internal drainage board, a local authority or a harbour authority within the meaning of the Harbours Act 1964 ; and b other expressions, excluding watercourses, used both in this article and in the Water Resources Act 1991 have the same meaning as in that Act. Safeguarding works to buildings 22 1 Subject to the following provisions of this article, the promoter may at its own expense and from time to time carry out such safeguarding works to any building lying within the Order limits as the promoter considers to be necessary or expedient. 2 Safeguarding works may be carried out— a at any time before or during the construction, in the vicinity of the building, of any part of the authorised works (other than works authorised by this article); or b after the completion of the construction of that part of the authorised works (other than works authorised by this article), at any time up to the end of the period of 5 years beginning with the day on which that part of the authorised works is first opened for use. 3 For the purpose of determining how the functions under this article are to be exercised the promoter may enter and survey any building falling within paragraph (1) and any land within its curtilage. 4 For the purpose of carrying out safeguarding works under this article to a building the promoter may (subject to paragraphs (5) and (6))— a enter the building and any land within its curtilage; and b where the works cannot be carried out reasonably conveniently without entering land which is adjacent to the building but outside its curtilage, enter the adjacent land (but not any building erected on it). 5 Before exercising— a a right under paragraph (1) to carry out safeguarding works to a building; b a right under paragraph (3) to enter a building and any land within its curtilage; c a right under paragraph (4)(a) to enter a building and land within its curtilage; or d a right under paragraph (4)(b) to enter land, the promoter shall, except in the case of emergency, serve on the owners and occupiers of the building or land not less than 14 days' notice of its intention to exercise that right and, in a case falling within sub-paragraph (a) or (c), specifying the safeguarding works proposed to be carried out. 6 Where notice is served under paragraph (5)(a), (c) or (d), the owner or occupier of the building or land concerned may, by serving a counter-notice within the period of 10 days beginning with the day on which the notice was served, require the question of whether it is necessary or expedient to carry out the safeguarding works or to enter the building or land to be referred to arbitration under article 82 (arbitration). 7 The promoter shall compensate the owners and occupiers of any building or land in relation to which the powers conferred by this article have been exercised for any loss or damage arising to them by reason of the exercise of those powers. 8 Where— a safeguarding works are carried out under this article to a building; and b within the period of 5 years beginning with the day on which the part of the authorised works constructed within the vicinity of the building is first opened for use, it appears that the safeguarding works are inadequate to protect the building against damage caused by the construction or operation of that part of the works, the promoter shall compensate the owners and occupiers of the building for any damage sustained by them. 9 Without affecting article 81 (no double recovery), nothing in this article shall relieve the promoter from any liability to pay compensation under section 10(2) of the 1965 Act. 10 Any compensation payable under paragraph (7) or (8) shall be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. 11 In this article “safeguarding works”, in relation to a building, means— a underpinning, strengthening and any other works the purpose of which is to prevent damage which may be caused to the building by the construction, maintenance or operation of the authorised works; b any works the purpose of which is to remedy any damage which has been caused to the building by the construction, maintenance or operation of the authorised works; and c any works the purpose of which is to secure the safe operation of the authorised tramway or to prevent or minimise the risk of such operation being disrupted. Power to construct temporary street tramway 23 1 The promoter may, if it considers it necessary or expedient in consequence of any works executed or proposed to be executed in a street along which the authorised street tramway is constructed— a remove or discontinue the operation of the authorised street tramway; and b lay, maintain and operate in that street or in a street near to that street a temporary street tramway in place of the authorised street tramway. 2 The powers conferred by this article may only be exercised with the consent of the street authority but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 3 The provisions of articles 8(2) (power to alter layout, etc., of streets), 9 (power to keep apparatus in streets), 10 (power to execute street works) and 49 (traffic signs) shall apply in relation to temporary street tramways laid under this article as they apply in relation to the authorised street tramway. Planning permission: supplementary matters 24 1 Planning permission which is deemed by a direction under section 90(2A) of the 1990 Act to be granted in relation to works authorised by this Order shall be treated as specific planning permission for the purposes of section 264(3)(a) of that Act (cases in which land is to be treated as operational land for the purposes of that Act). 2 In relation to the application of paragraph (3)(c) of the Second Schedule of the Form of Tree Preservation Order set out in the Schedule to the Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation Order) Regulations 1969 (including that paragraph as applied by regulation 3(ii) of the Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation Order) (Amendment) and (Trees in Conservation Areas) (Exempted Cases) Regulations 1975 , or as incorporated in any tree preservation order), any direction under section 90(2A) of the 1990 Act deeming planning permission to be granted in relation to the works authorised by this Order shall be treated as deeming the permission to have been granted on application made under Part 3 of that Act for the purposes of that Part. 3 In relation to the application of article 5(1)(d) of the Form of Tree Preservation Order set out in the Schedule to the Town and Country Planning (Trees) Regulations 1999 as incorporated in any tree preservation order or as having effect by virtue of regulation 10(1)(a) of those Regulations, any direction under section 90(2A) of the 1990 Act deeming planning permission to be granted in relation to the works authorised by this Order shall not be treated as an outline planning permission. Power to survey and investigate land, etc. 25 1 The promoter may for the purposes of this Order— a survey or investigate any land within the Order limits, any street along which the authorised street tramway is authorised to be laid and any street having a junction with such a street; b without limiting the scope of sub-paragraph (a), make trial holes in such positions as the promoter thinks fit on the land to investigate the nature of the surface layer and subsoil and remove soil samples; c without limiting the scope of sub-paragraph (a), carry out archaeological investigations on any such land; d take steps to protect or remove any flora or fauna on the land where the flora or fauna may be affected by the carrying out of the authorised works; e place on, leave on and remove from the land apparatus for use in connection with the exercise of any of the powers conferred by sub-paragraphs (a) to (d); and f enter on the land for the purpose of exercising the powers conferred by sub-paragraphs (a) to (e). 2 No land may be entered, or equipment placed or left on or removed from the land, under paragraph (1), unless at least 7 days' notice has been served on every owner and occupier of the land. 3 Any person entering land under this article on behalf of the promoter— a shall, if so required, before or after entering the land produce written evidence of that person’s authority to do so; and b may take onto the land such vehicles and equipment as are necessary to carry out the survey or investigation or to make the trial holes. 4 No trial holes shall be made under this article— a in a carriageway or footway without the consent of the highway authority; or b in a private street without the consent of the street authority, but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 5 The promoter shall pay compensation for any damage occasioned by the exercise of the powers conferred by this article to the owners and occupiers of the land, such compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. 6 Nothing in this article shall remove the need to obtain scheduled monument consent under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 . Mode of construction and operation of authorised tramway 26 1 The authorised tramway shall be operated by electricity or, in an emergency or for the purposes of maintenance, by diesel power or other means. 2 The authorised street tramway and the authorised tramroad shall be constructed to a nominal gauge of 1,435 millimetres. 3 Where the authorised tramway is constructed along a street or in any place to which the public has access (including any place to which the public has access only on making a payment), the promoter shall take such care as in all the circumstances is reasonable to ensure that the authorised tramway is constructed and maintained so that the street or other place is safe for other users. 4 When considering what measures are required under paragraph (3) the promoter shall have particular regard to the character and usage of the street or other place and to those who could reasonably be expected to use it. 5 Where the authorised street tramway has been constructed in a street, works by any person which affect or are likely to affect the promoter’s obligations under paragraph (3), including works to any street surfaces and works affecting any equipment or apparatus placed in the street under article 9 (power to keep apparatus in streets), shall not be carried out without the consent of the promoter, which may be given subject to such reasonable terms and conditions as the promoter may impose but shall not be unreasonably withheld. Obstruction of construction of authorised works 27 Any person who, without reasonable excuse— a obstructs another person acting under the authority of the promoter in setting out the lines of the scheduled works, or in constructing any of the authorised works; or b interferes with, moves or removes any apparatus belonging to any person acting under the authority of the promoter, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. Removal of human remains 28 1 In this article “the specified land” means the land at Styring Street, Chilwell Road and Gregory Street numbered 262, 263, 278, 283, 297, 301, 657, 661, 662, 663, 664 and 665 on the works and land plans. 2 Before the promoter begins to use any part of the specified land for the construction of any of the authorised works in the specified land, the promoter shall remove, or cause to be removed, from that part of the specified land, all human remains in accordance with the following provisions of this article. 3 Before any such remains are removed from the specified land the promoter shall give notice of such intended removal, describing the specified land and stating the general effect of the following provisions of this article, by— a publishing it once in each of two successive weeks in a newspaper circulating in the County of Nottinghamshire; and b displaying it in a conspicuous place upon or near to the specified land. 4 As soon as reasonably possible after the first publication of a notice under paragraph (3) the promoter shall send a copy of the notice to Nottinghamshire Archives, County House, Castle Meadow Road, Nottingham NG2 1AG. 5 At any time within 56 days after the first publication of a notice under paragraph (3) any person who is a personal representative or relative of any deceased person whose remains are interred in the specified land may give notice in writing to the promoter of that person’s intention to undertake the removal of such remains, and on the giving of such notice, if such remains can be identified, that person shall be at liberty to cause such remains to be removed and reinterred in any burial ground or cemetery in which burials may legally take place, or to be removed to, and cremated in, any crematorium, and as soon as reasonably possible after such reinterment or cremation shall provide to the promoter a certificate for the purpose of enabling compliance with paragraph (10). 6 If the promoter is not satisfied that any person giving such notice is the personal representative or relative as that person claims to be, or that the remains in question can be identified, the question shall be determined on the application of either party in a summary manner by the county court, and the court shall have power to make an order specifying who shall remove the remains and as to the payment of the costs of the application. 7 The promoter shall pay the reasonable expenses of the removal and reinterment or cremation of such remains. 8 If— a within the said period of 56 days no notice under paragraph (5) has been given to the promoter in respect of any remains in the specified land; or b such notice is given and no application is made under paragraph (6) within 56 days after the giving of the notice but the person who gave the notice fails to remove the remains within a further period of 56 days thereafter; or c within 56 days after any order is made by the county court under paragraph (6) any person, other than the promoter, specified in the order fails to remove the remains; or d it is determined that the remains to which any such notice relates cannot be identified, subject to paragraph (9) the promoter shall remove the remains and cause them to be reinterred in such burial ground or cemetery in which burials may legally take place as the promoter thinks suitable for the purpose and so far as possible remains from individual graves shall be reinterred in individual containers which shall be identifiable by a record prepared with reference to the original position of burial of the remains that they contain. 9 If the promoter is satisfied that any person giving notice under paragraph (5) is the personal representative or relative as that person claims to be, and that the remains in question can be identified, but the person does not remove the remains, the promoter shall comply with any reasonable request that person may make in relation to the removal and reinterment or cremation of the remains. 10 Upon the reinterment or cremation of any remains under this article— a a certificate of reinterment or cremation shall be sent to the Registrar General by the promoter giving the date of reinterment or cremation and identifying the place from which the remains were removed and the place in which they were reinterred or cremated; and b a copy of the certificate of reinterment or cremation and the record mentioned in paragraph (8) shall be sent by the promoter to the address mentioned in paragraph (4). 11 The removal of the remains of any deceased person under this article shall be carried out in accordance with any directions which may be given by the Secretary of State. 12 Any jurisdiction or power conferred on the county court by this article may be exercised by the district judge of the court. 13 Section 25 of the Burial Act 1857 shall not apply to a removal carried out in accordance with this article. PART 3 ACQUISITION AND POSSESSION OF LAND Powers of acquisition Power to acquire land 29 1 The promoter may acquire compulsorily so much of the land shown on the works and land plans as lying within the permanent limits as may be required for or in connection with the authorised works and may use any land so acquired for those purposes or for any other purpose ancillary to its tramway undertaking. 2 Nothing in paragraph (1) shall authorise the promoter to acquire compulsorily any of the lands mentioned in Schedule 6 (land not to be acquired compulsorily), or any rights over those lands, but the promoter may acquire by agreement any part of those lands, or any rights over them, and use them, for the purposes referred to in that paragraph. 3 This article is subject to article 34 (new rights only to be acquired in certain lands). Application of Part 1 of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965 30 1 Part 1 of the 1965 Act, in so far as not modified by or inconsistent with the provisions of this Order, shall apply to the acquisition of land under this Order— a as it applies to a compulsory purchase to which the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 applies; and b as if this Order were a compulsory purchase order under that Act. 2 Part 1 of the 1965 Act, as so applied, shall have effect as if section 4 (which provides a time limit for compulsory purchase of land) and paragraph 3(3) of Schedule 3 (which makes provision as to the giving of bonds) were omitted. Application of Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 31 1 The Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 shall apply as if this Order were a compulsory purchase order. 2 The Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981, as so applied by paragraph (1), shall have effect with the following modifications. 3 In section 3 (preliminary notices), for subsection (1) there shall be substituted— 1 Before making a declaration under section 4 with respect to any land which is subject to a compulsory purchase order the acquiring authority shall 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)” there shall be substituted “(1)” and after “given” there shall be inserted “and published”. 5 In that section, for subsections (5) and (6) there shall be substituted— 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 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” there shall be inserted “in a local newspaper circulating in the area in which the land is situated”; and b subsection (2) shall be omitted. 7 In section 7 (constructive notice to treat), in subsection (1)(a), the words “(as modified by section 4 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981)” shall be omitted. 8 References to the 1965 Act shall be construed as references to that Act as applied to the acquisition of land by article 30 (application of Part 1 of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965). Power to acquire new rights 32 1 The promoter may compulsorily acquire such easements or other rights over any land within the permanent limits as may be required for any purpose for which that land may be acquired, by creating them as well as by acquiring easements or other rights already in existence. 2 Subject to section 8 of the 1965 Act (as substituted by paragraph 5 of Schedule 7 (modification of compensation and compulsory purchase enactments for creation of new rights)), where the promoter acquires a right over land under paragraph (1) the promoter shall not be required to acquire a greater interest in that land. 3 Schedule 7 shall have effect for the purpose of modifying the enactments relating to compensation and the provisions of the 1965 Act in their application to the compulsory acquisition under this article or article 34 (new rights only to be acquired in certain lands) of a right over land by the creation of a new right. Power to acquire subsoil only 33 1 The promoter may compulsorily acquire so much of, or such rights in, the subsoil of the land within the permanent limits as may be required for any purpose for which that land may be acquired instead of acquiring the whole of the land. 2 Where the promoter acquires any part of, or rights in, the subsoil of land under paragraph (1) the promoter shall not be required to acquire an interest in any other part of the land. 3 Paragraph (2) shall not prevent article 40 (acquisition of part of certain properties) from applying where the promoter acquires a cellar, vault, arch or other construction forming part of a house, building or manufactory. New rights only to be acquired in certain lands 34 1 In the case of the land specified in Schedule 8 (acquisition of new rights only) the promoter’s powers of compulsory acquisition under article 29 (power to acquire land) shall be limited to the acquisition of such easements or other new rights in the land as it may require for the purposes of exercising the powers of article 19 (attachment of equipment to buildings) and using and maintaining any apparatus affixed in the exercise of those powers. 2 Where the promoter acquires easements or other new rights in the land specified in Schedule 8, article 32(2) (power to acquire new rights) shall apply as it applies to the acquisition of a new right under that article. Rights under or over streets 35 1 The promoter may enter upon and appropriate so much of the surface, subsoil of, or air space over, any street shown on the works and land plans and described in the book of reference as may be required for the purposes of the authorised works and may use the surface, subsoil and air space for those purposes or any other purpose ancillary to its tramway undertaking. 2 Subject to paragraph (4), the power under paragraph (1) may be exercised in relation to a street without the promoter being required to acquire any part of the street or any easement or right in the street. 3 Subject to paragraph (5) any person who is an owner or occupier of land in respect of which the power of appropriation conferred by paragraph (1) is exercised without the promoter acquiring any part of that person’s interest in the land, and who suffers loss by the exercise of that power, shall be entitled to compensation, the amount of such compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. 4 Paragraph (2) shall 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 on to the street. 5 Compensation shall not be payable under paragraph (3) to any person who is an undertaker, to whom section 85 of the 1991 Act applies, in respect of measures of which the allowable costs are to be borne in accordance with that section. 6 The promoter may exercise the powers of paragraph (1) and appropriate any other land shown on the works and land plans and described in the book of reference as may be required for the purposes of the authorised works, regardless of anything contained in or done pursuant to section 53 of the Nottingham Inclosure Act or Part 1 of, or Schedule 2 to, the Commons Act 2006 . Temporary possession of land Temporary use of land for construction of works 36 1 The promoter may, in connection with the carrying out of the authorised works— a enter upon and take temporary possession of— i so much of the land shown on the works and land plans as lying within the temporary limits for the purpose specified in relation to that land in column (3) of Schedule 9 (land of which temporary possession may be taken) relating to the scheduled works (or any of them) specified in column (4) of that Schedule; and ii any of the land within the permanent limits in respect of which no notice of entry has been served under section 11 of the 1965 Act or no declaration has been made under section 4 of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981; b remove any buildings and vegetation from that land; and c construct temporary works (including the provision of means of access) and buildings on the land. 2 Not less than 14 days before exercising the powers conferred by paragraph (1) the promoter shall serve notice of the intended entry on the owners and occupiers of the land. 3 The promoter may not, without the agreement of the owners of the land, remain in possession of any land of which temporary possession has been taken under this article— a in the case of land within the temporary limits, after the end of the period of 2 years beginning with the date of completion of the work specified in relation to that land in column (4) of Schedule 9; or b in the case of land within the permanent limits, after the end of the period of 2 years beginning with the date of completion of the work for which temporary possession of the land was taken unless the promoter has, by the end of that period, served a notice of entry under section 11 of the 1965 Act or made a declaration under section 4 of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 in relation to that land. 4 Before giving up possession of land of which temporary possession has been taken under this article, the promoter shall remove all temporary works and restore the land to the reasonable satisfaction of the owners of the land; but the promoter shall not be required to replace a building removed under this article. 5 The promoter shall 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 powers conferred by this article. 6 Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (5), or as to the amount of the compensation, shall be determined under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. 7 Without affecting article 81 (no double recovery), nothing in this article shall affect any liability to pay compensation under section 10(2) of the 1965 Act or under any other enactment in respect of loss or damage arising from the execution of any works, other than loss or damage for which compensation is payable under paragraph (5). 8 Where the promoter takes possession of land under this article, it shall not be required to acquire the land or any interest in it. 9 Section 13 of the 1965 Act shall apply to the temporary use of land pursuant to this article to the same extent as it applies to the acquisition of land under this Order by virtue of article 30(1) (application of Part 1 of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965). Temporary use of land for maintenance of works 37 1 Subject to paragraph (2), at any time during the maintenance period relating to any of the scheduled works, the promoter may— a enter upon and take temporary possession of any land within the Order limits reasonably required for the purpose of maintaining the work or any ancillary works connected with it or securing the safe operation of any such work; and b construct such temporary works (including the provision of means of access) and buildings on the land as may be reasonably necessary for that purpose. 2 Paragraph (1) shall not authorise the promoter to take temporary possession of— a any house or garden belonging to a house; or b any building (other than a house) if it is for the time being occupied. 3 Not less than 28 days before entering upon and taking temporary possession of land under this article the promoter shall serve notice of the intended entry on the owners and occupiers of the land. 4 The promoter may only remain in possession of land under this article for so long as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the maintenance works for which possession of the land was taken. 5 Before giving up possession of land of which temporary possession has been taken under this article, the promoter shall remove all temporary works and restore the land to the reasonable satisfaction of the owners of the land. 6 The promoter shall 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 powers conferred by this article. 7 Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (6), or as to the amount of the compensation, shall be determined under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. 8 Without affecting article 81 (no double recovery), nothing in this article shall affect any liability to pay compensation under section 10(2) of the 1965 Act or under any other enactment in respect of loss or damage arising from the execution of any works, other than loss or damage for which compensation is payable under paragraph (6). 9 Where the promoter takes possession of land under this article, it shall not be required to acquire the land or any interest in it. 10 The powers of this article shall not be exercised in relation to any street without the consent of the street authority, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 11 Section 13 of the 1965 Act shall apply to the temporary use of land pursuant to this article to the same extent as it applies to the acquisition of land under this Order by virtue of article 30(1) (application of Part 1 of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965). 12 In this article “the maintenance period”, in relation to a scheduled work, means the period of 5 years beginning with the date on which the work is opened for public use. Compensation Disregard of certain interests and improvements 38 1 In assessing the compensation (if any) payable to any person on the acquisition from that person of any land or interest in land under this Order, the tribunal shall not take into account— a any interest in land; or b any enhancement of the value of any interest in land by reason of any building erected, works executed or improvement or alteration made on relevant land, if the tribunal is satisfied that the creation of the interest, the erection of the building, the execution of the works or the making of the improvement or alteration was not reasonably necessary and was undertaken with a view to obtaining compensation or increased compensation. 2 In paragraph (1) “relevant land” means the land acquired from the person concerned or any other land with which that person is, or was at the time when the building was erected, the works executed or the improvement or alteration made, directly or indirectly concerned. Set-off for enhancement in value of retained land 39 1 In assessing the compensation payable to any person in respect of the acquisition from that person under this Order of any land (including the subsoil) the tribunal shall set-off against the value of the land so acquired any increase in value of any contiguous or adjacent land belonging to that person in the same capacity, which will accrue to that person by reason of the construction of the authorised works. 2 In assessing the compensation payable to any person in respect of the acquisition from that person of any new rights over land (including the subsoil) under article 32 (power to acquire new rights), the tribunal shall set-off against the value of the rights so acquired— a any increase in the value of the land over which the new rights are acquired; and b any increase in value of any contiguous or adjacent land belonging to that person in the same capacity, which will accrue to that person by reason of the construction of the authorised works. 3 The 1961 Act shall have effect, subject to paragraphs (1) and (2), as if this Order were a local enactment for the purposes of that Act. Supplementary Acquisition of part of certain properties 40 1 This article shall apply instead of section 8(1) of the 1965 Act (as applied by article 30 (application of Part 1 of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965)) in any case where— a a notice to treat is served on a person (“the owner”) under the 1965 Act (as so applied) in respect of land forming only part of a house, building or manufactory or of land consisting of a house with a park or garden (“the land subject to the notice to treat”); and b a copy of this article is served on the owner with the notice to treat. 2 In such a case, the owner may, within the period of 21 days beginning with the day on which the notice was served, serve on the promoter a counter-notice objecting to the sale of the land subject to the notice to treat and stating that the owner is willing and able to sell the whole (“the land subject to the counter-notice”). 3 If no such counter-notice is served within that period, the owner shall be required to sell the land subject to the notice to treat. 4 If such a counter-notice is served within that period, the question of whether the owner shall be required to sell only the land subject to the notice to treat shall, unless the promoter agrees to take the land subject to the counter-notice, be referred to the tribunal. 5 If on such a reference the tribunal determine that the land subject to the notice to treat can be taken— a without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice; or b in the case of part of land consisting of a house with a park or garden, without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice and without seriously affecting the amenity and convenience of the house, the owner shall be required to sell the land subject to the notice to treat. 6 If on such a reference the tribunal determine that only part of the land subject to the notice to treat can be taken— a without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice; or b in the case of part of land consisting of a house with a park or garden, without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice and without seriously affecting the amenity and convenience of the house, the notice to treat shall be deemed to be a notice to treat for that part. 7 If on such a reference the tribunal determine that— a the land subject to the notice to treat cannot be taken without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice; but b the material detriment is confined to a part of the land subject to the counter-notice, the notice to treat shall be deemed to be a notice to treat for the land to which the material detriment is confined in addition to the land already subject to the notice, whether or not the additional land is land which the promoter is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order. 8 If the promoter agrees to take the land subject to the counter-notice, or if the tribunal determine that— a none of the land subject to the notice to treat can be taken without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice or, as the case may be, without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice and without seriously affecting the amenity and convenience of the house; and b the material detriment is not confined to a part of the land subject to the counter-notice, the notice to treat shall be deemed to be a notice to treat for the land subject to the counter-notice whether or not the whole of that land is land which the promoter is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order. 9 In any case where by virtue of a determination by the tribunal under this article a notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for less land or more land than that specified in the notice, the promoter may, within the period of 6 weeks beginning with the day on which the determination is made, withdraw the notice to treat; and, if it does so, shall pay to the owner compensation for any loss or expense occasioned to the owner by the giving and withdrawal of the notice, to be determined in case of dispute by the tribunal. 10 Where the owner is required under this article to sell only part of a house, building or manufactory or of land consisting of a house with a park or garden, the promoter shall pay the owner compensation for any loss sustained by the owner due to the severance of that part in addition to the value of the interest acquired. Extinction or suspension of private rights of way 41 1 Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights of way over land subject to compulsory acquisition under this Order shall be extinguished— a as from the date of acquisition of the land by the promoter, whether compulsorily or by agreement; or b on the date of entry on the land by the promoter under section 11(1) of the 1965 Act, whichever is sooner. 2 Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights of way over land owned by the promoter which is within the permanent limits and is required for the purposes of this Order, shall be extinguished on the appropriation of the land for any of those purposes by the promoter. 3 Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights of way over land of which the promoter takes temporary possession under this Order shall be suspended and unenforceable for as long as the promoter remains in lawful possession of the land. 4 Any person who suffers loss by the extinguishment or suspension of any private right of way under this article shall be entitled to compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. 5 This article does not apply in relation to any right of way to which section 271 or 272 of the 1990 Act (extinguishment of rights of statutory undertakers, etc.) or paragraph 2 of Schedule 11 (provisions relating to statutory undertakers, etc.) applies. 6 Paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) shall have effect subject to— a any notice given by the promoter before the completion of the acquisition of the land, the promoter’s appropriation of it, the promoter’s entry onto it or the promoter’s taking temporary possession of it, as the case may be, that any or all of those paragraphs shall not apply to any right of way specified in the notice; and b any agreement made (whether before or after any of the events mentioned in sub-paragraph (a) and before or after the coming into force of this Order) between the promoter and the person in or to whom the right of way in question is vested or belongs. 7 If any such agreement as is referred to in paragraph (6)(b) which is made with a person in or to whom the right of way is vested or belongs is expressed to have effect also for the benefit of those deriving title from or under that person, it shall be effective in respect of the persons so deriving title, whether the title was derived before or after the making of the agreement.

Application of landlord and tenant law 56 1 This article applies to— a any agreement for leasing to any person the whole or any part of the authorised tramway or the right to operate the same, and b any agreement entered into by the promoter with any person for the construction, maintenance, use or operation of the authorised tramway, or any part of it, so far as any such agreement relates to the terms on which any land which is the subject of a lease granted by or under that agreement is to be provided for that person’s use. 2 No enactment or rule of law regulating the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants shall affect the operation of any agreement to which this article applies. 3 Accordingly no such enactment or rule of law shall apply in relation to the rights and obligations of the parties to any lease granted by or under any such agreement so as to— a exclude or in any respect modify any of the rights and obligations of those parties under the terms of the lease, whether with respect to the termination of the tenancy or any other matter; b confer or impose on any such party any right or obligation arising out of or connected with anything done or omitted on or in relation to land which is the subject of the lease, in addition to any such right or obligation provided for by the terms of the lease; or c restrict the enforcement (whether by action for damages or otherwise) by any party to the lease of any obligation of any other party under the lease. Tramcars deemed public service vehicles 57 1 On such day as may be appointed under paragraph (2), regulations made, or having effect as if made, under section 24, 25 or 60(1)(j) or (k) of the Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981 shall have effect as if the tramcars used on the authorised tramway for the carriage of passengers were public service vehicles used in the provision of a local service within the meaning of the Transport Act 1985 . 2 The promoter may by resolution appoint a day for the purpose of any regulation mentioned in paragraph (1), the day so appointed being fixed in accordance with paragraph (3). 3 The promoter shall publish in a newspaper circulating in its area, notice— a of the passing of any such resolution and of the day fixed by the resolution; and b of the general effect of the enactments for the purposes of which the day has been fixed, and the day so fixed shall not be earlier than the expiration of 28 days from the date of the publication of the notice. 4 A photostatic or other reproduction certified by a person duly authorised by the promoter to be a true reproduction of a page, or part of a page, of any newspaper bearing the date of its publication and containing the notice mentioned in paragraph (3) shall be evidence of the publication of the notice and of the date of publication. Substitute road services 58 1 The promoter may provide or secure the provision by other persons of services for the carriage of passengers by road (“substitute services”) where the authorised tramway has been temporarily interrupted, curtailed or discontinued. 2 The route, frequency and stopping places of any substitute service need not correspond with the route of the interrupted, curtailed or discontinued service. 3 Section 6 of the Transport Act 1985 shall not apply to any substitute services. PART 5 PENALTY FARES Interpretation of Part 5 59 1 In this Part unless the context otherwise requires— “authorised person” means, in relation to any purpose, a person authorised for that purpose by the promoter; “fare ticket” means a ticket authorising the person in respect of whom it is issued to travel on a tramcar; “general travel authority” means any permit, other than a fare ticket, authorising the person in respect of whom it is issued to travel on a tramcar; “passenger” means a person travelling on a tramcar; “penalty fare” means a penalty fare payable pursuant to article 61 (penalty fares); “the penalty fare provisions” means articles 61 (penalty fares) to 66 (exclusion of double liability); and “tramway stop” means a station or other regular stopping place on the authorised tramway at which passengers may get on or off tramcars. 2 Any reference in this Part to a passenger producing a fare ticket or general travel authority on being required to do so by an authorised person is a reference to producing, when so required, a fare ticket or general travel authority which, either by itself or together with any other document produced by the passenger at the same time, is valid for the journey made by the passenger. 3 For the purposes of paragraph (2), a passenger who is on a tramcar shall be taken to have made a journey ending at the next scheduled tramway stop. Operation of Part 5 60 1 The penalty fare provisions shall have effect in relation to travel on any tramcar on and after such day as the Secretary of State may specify. 2 On the application of the promoter, or if the Secretary of State considers on reasonable grounds that the promoter is not complying with the requirements of this Part, the Secretary of State may provide that the penalty fare provisions shall cease to have effect on and after such day as the Secretary of State may specify. 3 Paragraph (2) does not affect the power of the Secretary of State to specify further days on and after which the penalty fare provisions shall have effect. 4 Any day specified by the Secretary of State for the purposes of paragraph (1) or (2) shall be published in a newspaper circulating in the promoter’s area not later than one week before that date. 5 No day may be specified under paragraph (1) except at the request of the promoter. Penalty fares 61 1 If a passenger, on being required to do so by an authorised person, fails to produce a fare ticket or a general travel authority, the passenger shall be liable to pay a penalty fare if required to do so by an authorised person. 2 A passenger shall not be liable to pay a penalty fare if, at any time when fare tickets are generally made available for sale at tramway stops or on tramcars, there were no facilities for the sale of the necessary ticket for the passenger’s journey at the tramway stop where, and the time when, the passenger boarded the tramcar, or on the tramcar. 3 Paragraphs (4) and (5) have effect with respect to the burden of proof, in any action for the recovery of a penalty fare under this article, so far as concerns the question whether the facts of the case fall within paragraph (2). 4 In any case where the passenger has provided the authorised person with a relevant statement in due time it shall be for the authorised person to show that the facts of the case do not fall within paragraph (2), and in any other case it shall be for the passenger to show that the facts of the case fall within that provision. 5 For the purposes of paragraph (4)— a a relevant statement is a statement giving an explanation of the passenger’s failure to produce a fare ticket or general travel authority, together with any information as to the passenger’s journey relevant to that explanation (including, in every case, an indication of the tramway stop where the passenger boarded the tramcar); and b a statement is provided in due time if it is provided when the passenger is required to produce a fare ticket or general travel authority, or at any later time before the expiration of the period of 21 days beginning with the day following the day on which the journey is completed. Amount of penalty fare 62 1 Subject to paragraph (2), a penalty fare shall be £20 and shall be payable to the promoter before the expiration of the period of 21 days beginning with the day following the day on which the journey in respect of which it is payable is completed. 2 The promoter may from time to time vary the amount of the penalty fare provided that— a the consent of the Secretary of State is obtained in writing to such a variation; and b a notice stating the amount of the penalty fare as so varied is published in a newspaper circulating in the promoter’s area not later than 28 days before the day on which the penalty fare, as so varied, is to take effect. Document to be issued in connection with penalty fare requirement 63 1 An authorised person who requires a passenger to pay a penalty fare shall give the passenger either a receipt for the payment of the amount of the penalty (where the passenger makes that payment to the authorised person) or a notice stating that the requirement has been made. 2 A receipt or notice given under paragraph (1) shall specify the passenger’s destination on the tramcar on which the passenger is travelling when required to pay the penalty fare, and shall operate as an authority to the passenger to continue to that destination. 3 For the purposes of paragraph (2), the passenger’s destination shall (unless only one destination is possible in the circumstances) be taken to be the destination stated by the passenger or, in default of any statement by the passenger identifying the passenger’s destination, such destination as may be specified by the authorised person. Notice of penalty fare provisions 64 1 It shall be the duty of the promoter to secure that a warning notice meeting the requirements of paragraph (2) is posted— a at every tramway stop, in such a position as to be readily visible to prospective passengers; and b in every tramcar, in such a position as to be readily visible to passengers travelling on that tramcar. 2 A warning notice posted pursuant to paragraph (1) shall (however expressed) indicate the circumstances (as provided in article 61 (penalty fares)) in which passengers may be liable to pay a penalty fare and state the amount of the penalty fare. Supplementary provisions 65 1 A passenger who is required to pay a penalty fare shall, unless the passenger pays, immediately and in cash, the amount of the penalty fare to an authorised person requiring such payment, give to that authorised person, if that person requires the passenger to do so, the name and address of the passenger; and any passenger failing to do so shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 2 on the standard scale. 2 Where an authorised person requires any passenger to do anything pursuant to any provision of this Order the authorised person shall, if so requested by the passenger concerned, produce to that passenger a duly authenticated document showing evidence of the authorised person’s authority; and a requirement by an authorised person shall be of no effect if, as respects that requirement, the authorised person fails to comply with this paragraph. Exclusion of double liability 66 1 Where a passenger has become liable to pay a penalty fare in respect of any journey (referred to below as “the relevant journey”), no proceedings may be brought against that passenger for either of the offences specified in paragraph (2) before the end of the period mentioned in article 62(1) (amount of penalty fare); and no such proceedings may be brought after the end of that period if— a the passenger has paid the penalty fare to the promoter before the end of that period; or b an action has been brought against the passenger for the recovery of that fare. 2 The offences mentioned in paragraph (1) are— a any offence under byelaws made under article 53 (power to make byelaws) involving a failure to obtain or produce a fare ticket or general travel authority for the relevant journey; and b any offence under section 25(3) of the Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981 of contravening or failing to comply with any provision of regulations for the time being having effect by virtue of that section by failing to pay the fare properly payable for the relevant journey or any part of it. 3 If proceedings are brought against any such passenger for any such offence the liability to pay the penalty fare shall cease and, if it has been paid, the promoter shall be liable to repay to the passenger an amount equal to the amount of that fare. PART 6 PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS Statutory undertakers, etc. 67 The provisions of Schedule 11 (provisions relating to statutory undertakers, etc.) shall have effect. Minerals 68 Nothing in this Order shall affect the right of any person entitled to any mine or minerals of any description whatsoever under a street along which the authorised street tramway is laid to work the mine or get the minerals; but this shall not affect any liability (whether civil or criminal) of the person so entitled in respect of damage to the authorised street tramway resulting from the exercise of any such right. Saving for highway authorities 69 Nothing in this Order shall affect any power of a highway authority to widen, alter, divert or improve any highway along which the authorised street tramway is laid. Arrangements with highway authorities 70 1 The following provisions shall, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the promoter and the highway authority concerned, have effect. 2 In this article— “highway” means a street vested in or maintainable by the highway authority; “highway operations” means the construction or non-routine maintenance of any part of the authorised works which will involve interference with a highway or the traffic in a highway, any temporary stopping up, alteration or diversion of a highway, any occupation of the surface of a highway or any placing of equipment or apparatus in a highway; and “plans” includes sections, drawings, specifications and particulars (including descriptions of methods of construction). 3 Wherever in this article provision is made with respect to the approval or consent of the highway authority, that approval or consent shall be in writing and may be given subject to such reasonable terms and conditions as the highway authority may impose in the interests of safety and in order to minimise inconvenience to persons using the highway, but shall not be unreasonably withheld. 4 Prior to seeking approval under paragraph (6), the promoter shall consult the highway authority concerned as to any works to and changes in the management of the highway network which may be required to ensure the effective integration of the authorised tramway with other forms of highway traffic and, within 28 days of being requested in writing by the promoter to do so, the highway authority shall provide the promoter with its opinion on the subject. 5 Prior to seeking approval under paragraph (6), the promoter shall consult the highway authority concerned as to the design of any lighting for tramway stops, the design and positioning of any poles and brackets required for overhead line equipment and the design of any traffic signalling system for the authorised tramway. 6 Without affecting the application of sections 59 and 60 of the 1991 Act (duty of street authority to co-ordinate and undertakers to co-operate) before commencing any highway operations, the promoter shall submit to the highway authority for its approval proper and sufficient plans and shall not commence the highway operations until such plans have been approved or settled by arbitration. 7 If, within 56 days after any plans have been submitted to a highway authority under paragraph (6), it has not intimated its disapproval and the grounds of disapproval, it shall be deemed to have approved them. 8 In the event of any disapproval of plans by a highway authority under this paragraph, the promoter may re-submit the plans with modifications and, in that event, if the highway authority has not intimated its disapproval and the grounds of disapproval within 28 days of the plans being re-submitted, it shall be deemed to have approved them. 9 In submitting plans under paragraph (6), the promoter shall— a ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, that the design of any lighting for tramcar stops is such as not to cause confusion to highway users operating under normal highway lighting; b ensure that the design and positioning of any poles and brackets required for overhead line equipment and the design of foundations, platforms, road islands, substations, electric lines and other apparatus are compatible, so far as reasonably practicable, with street furniture vested in the highway authority; and c ensure that the design of any traffic signalling system for the authorised tramway is fully compatible with traffic signalling for other traffic users whilst achieving appropriate priority signalling for tramcars using the authorised tramway wherever practicable. 10 Except in an emergency or where reasonably necessary to secure the safety of the public, no direction or instruction shall be given by the highway authority to the contractors, servants or agents of the promoter regarding the highway operations without the prior consent in writing of the promoter but the highway authority shall not be liable for any additional costs which may be incurred as a result of the giving of instructions or directions pursuant to this paragraph. 11 To facilitate liaison with the promoter, the highway authority concerned shall provide so far as is reasonably practicable a representative to attend meetings arranged by the promoter respecting highway operations. 12 So much of the authorised works as forms part of or is intended to become public highway, or part of any such highway, and which are not street works as respects which the provisions of Part 3 of the 1991 Act apply, shall be completed in accordance with the reasonable requirements of the highway authority or, in case of difference between the promoter and the highway authority as to whether those requirements have been complied with or as to their reasonableness, in accordance with such requirements as may be approved or settled by arbitration. 13 The promoter shall not, except with the consent of the highway authority, alter or interfere with any sanitary convenience, refuge, sewer, drain, lamp column, traffic sign, bollard, bin for refuse or road materials or any connected apparatus, or any other property or work belonging to, or under the jurisdiction or control of, the highway authority on or under any highway or maintainable by them or the access to any such property or work. 14 The promoter shall not, except with the consent of the highway authority, deposit any soil or materials or stand any vehicle or plant on or over any highway so as to obstruct or render less safe the use of the highway by any person or, except with the like consent, deposit any soil or materials on any highway except within a hoarding. 15 The promoter shall, if reasonably so required by the highway authority, provide and maintain during such time as the promoter may occupy any part of a highway for the purpose of the construction of any part of the authorised works, temporary ramps for vehicular traffic or pedestrian traffic, or both, and any other traffic measures required to protect the safety of road users in accordance with the standard recommended in Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual issued for the purposes of the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 in such position as may be necessary to prevent undue interference with the flow of traffic in any highway. 16 The promoter shall not place any hoardings on any part of any highway except for such period and in such manner as may be reasonably necessary. 17 The promoter shall indemnify the highway authority against any claim which may arise as a result of any subsidence of, or damage to, any highway or any sanitary convenience, refuge, sewer, drain, lamp column, traffic sign, bollard, bin for refuse or road materials or any connected apparatus or any other property or work belonging to, or under the jurisdiction or control of, the highway authority on or under any highway, or maintainable by them, which may be caused by, or in consequence of, any act or default of the promoter, its contractors, servants or agents. 18 Unless otherwise agreed between the parties any difference arising between the promoter and the highway authority under this article (other than a difference as to its meaning or construction) shall be determined by arbitration under article 82 (arbitration). For protection of the Environment Agency 71 1 For the protection of the Environment Agency (in this article referred to as “the Agency”) the following provisions shall, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the promoter and the Agency, have effect. 2 In this article— “construction” shall include execution, placing and maintenance and “construct” and “constructed” shall be construed accordingly; “damage” shall include scouring, erosion and environmental damage and “damaged” shall be construed accordingly; “drainage work” shall mean any watercourse and includes any land which is expected to provide flood storage capacity for any watercourse and any bank, wall, embankment or other structure, or any appliance, constructed or used for land drainage or flood defence; “the fishery” shall mean any waters containing fish and fish in, or migrating to or from, such waters and the spawn, habitat or food of such fish; “plans” shall include sections, drawings, specifications and method statements; and “specified work” shall mean so much of any work or operation authorised by this Order as is in, on, under, over or within 16 metres of a watercourse or is otherwise likely to— affect any drainage work or the volumetric rate of flow of water in or flowing to or from any drainage work; affect the flow, purity or quality of water in any watercourse or other surface waters or ground water; cause obstruction to the free passage of fish or damage to any fishery; or affect the conservation, distribution or use of water resources. 3 a Before beginning to construct any specified work, the promoter shall submit to the Agency plans of the work and such further particulars available to it as the Agency may within 28 days of the submission of the plans reasonably require. b Any such specified work shall not be constructed except in accordance with such plans as may be approved in writing by the Agency, or determined under paragraph (13). c Any approval of the Agency required under this paragraph— i shall not be unreasonably withheld; ii shall be deemed to have been given if it is neither given nor refused in writing within 56 days of the submission of the plans for approval and in the case of a refusal, accompanied by a statement of the grounds of refusal; and iii may be given subject to such reasonable conditions or requirements as the Agency may impose— a for the protection of any drainage work; b for the protection of the fishery; c for the protection of water resources; d for the prevention of flooding or pollution; or e in the discharge of its environmental and recreational duties. 4 In particular, the conditions or requirements which the Agency may make under paragraph (3) include conditions requiring the promoter at its own expense to construct such protective works, whether temporary or permanent, during the construction of the specified works (including the provision of flood banks, walls or embankments or other new works and the strengthening, repair or renewal of existing banks, walls or embankments) as are reasonably necessary— a to safeguard any drainage work against damage; or b to secure that its efficiency for flood defence purposes is not impaired and that the risk of flooding is not otherwise increased by reason of any specified work. 5 a Any specified work, and all protective works required by the Agency under paragraph (4), shall be constructed— i with all reasonable dispatch in accordance with the plans approved or deemed to have been approved or settled under this article; and ii to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agency, and the Agency shall be entitled by its officer to watch and inspect the construction of such works. b The promoter shall give to the Agency not less than 14 days' notice in writing of the promoter’s intention to commence construction of any specified work and notice in writing of its completion not later than 7 days after the date on which it is brought into use. c If any part of the works comprising a structure in, over or under a drainage work is constructed otherwise than in accordance with the requirements of this article, the Agency may by notice in writing require the promoter, at the promoter’s own expense, to comply with the requirements of this article or (if the promoter so elects and the Agency in writing consents, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to remove, alter or pull down the work and, where removal is required, to restore the site to its former condition to such extent and within such limits as the Agency reasonably requires. d Subject to sub-paragraph (e) if, within a reasonable period, being not less than 28 days from the date when a notice under sub-paragraph (c) is served upon the promoter, it has failed to begin taking steps to comply with the requirements of the notice and thereafter to make reasonably expeditious progress towards their implementation, the Agency may execute the works specified in the notice and any expenditure incurred by it in so doing shall be recoverable from the promoter. e In the event of any dispute as to whether sub-paragraph (c) is properly applicable to any work in respect of which a notice has been served under that sub-paragraph, or as to the reasonableness of any requirement of such a notice, the Agency shall not except in an emergency exercise the powers conferred by sub-paragraph (d) until the dispute has been finally determined. 6 a The promoter shall maintain in good repair and condition and free from obstruction any culvert or any structure designed to contain or divert the flow of any watercourse situated within any land held for the purposes of or in connection with the authorised tramway and constructed under the powers conferred by this Order. b If any such work which the promoter is liable to maintain is not maintained to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agency, the Agency may by notice in writing require the promoter to repair and restore the work, or any part of it, or (if the promoter so elects and the Agency in writing consents, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to remove the work and restore the site to its former condition, to such extent and within such limits as the Agency reasonably requires. c If, within a reasonable period being not less than 28 days beginning with the date on which a notice in respect of any work is served under sub-paragraph (b) on the promoter, the promoter has failed to begin taking steps to comply with the reasonable requirements of the notice and has not thereafter made reasonably expeditious progress towards their implementation, the Agency may do anything necessary for such compliance and may recover any expenditure reasonably incurred by it in so doing from the promoter. d In the event of any dispute as to the reasonableness of any requirement of a notice served under sub-paragraph (b), the Agency shall not, except in a case of an emergency, exercise the powers conferred by sub-paragraph (c) until the dispute has been finally determined. e Nothing in this paragraph shall have the effect of requiring the promoter to carry out works of maintenance in respect of any culvert or structure which the Agency or any other person is liable to maintain. 7 If by reason of the construction of any specified work or of the failure of any such work the efficiency of any drainage work for flood defence purposes is impaired, or that work is otherwise damaged, such impairment or damage shall be made good by the promoter to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agency and if the promoter fails to do so, the Agency may make good the same and recover from the promoter the expense reasonably incurred by it in so doing. 8 a The promoter shall take all such measures as may be reasonably practicable to prevent any interruption of the free passage of fish in any fishery during the construction of any specified work. b If by reason of— i the construction of any specified work; or ii the failure of any such work, damage to the fishery is caused, or the Agency has reason to expect that such damage may be caused, the Agency may serve notice on the promoter requiring it to take such steps as may be reasonably practicable to make good the damage, or, as the case may be, to protect the fishery against such damage. c If, within such time as may be reasonably practicable for that purpose after the receipt of written notice from the Agency of any damage or expected damage to the fishery, the promoter fails to take such steps as are described in sub-paragraph (b), the Agency may take those steps and may recover from the promoter the expense reasonably incurred by it in doing so. d In any case where immediate action by the Agency is reasonably required in order to secure that the risk of damage to the fishery is avoided or reduced, the Agency may take such steps as are reasonable for the purpose, and may recover from the promoter the reasonable cost of so doing provided that a notice specifying those steps is served on the promoter as soon as is reasonably practicable after the Agency has taken, or commenced to take, the steps specified in the notice. 9 The promoter shall indemnify the Agency in respect of all costs, charges and expenses which the Agency may reasonably incur or have to pay or which it may sustain— a in the examination or approval of plans under this article; and b in the inspection of the construction of the specified works or any protective works required by the Agency under this article. 10 a Without affecting the other provisions of this article, the promoter shall indemnify the Agency from all claims, demands, proceedings, costs, damages or expenses or loss, which may be made or taken against, or recovered from or incurred by the Agency by reason of— i any damage to any drainage work so as to impair its efficiency for the purposes of flood defence; ii any damage to the fishery; iii any raising or lowering of the water table in land adjoining the works authorised by this Order or any sewers, drains and watercourses; iv any flooding or increased flooding of any such lands; or v inadequate water quality in any watercourse or other surface waters or in any groundwater, which is caused by, or results from, the construction of any of the works or any act or omission of the promoter, its contractors, agents or employees whilst engaged upon the work. b The Agency shall give to the promoter reasonable notice of any such claim or demand and no settlement or compromise of it shall be made without the agreement of the promoter, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 11 The fact that any work or thing has been executed or done in accordance with a plan approved or deemed to be approved by the Agency, or to its satisfaction, or in accordance with any directions or award of an arbitrator, shall not relieve the promoter from any liability under the provisions of this article. 12 For the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 2 of the Water Resources Act 1991 (abstraction and impounding of water), as applying to the construction of any specified work, any consent or approval given or deemed to be given by the Agency under this article with respect to such construction shall be deemed also to constitute an impounding licence under that Chapter, and the promoter shall not be obliged to serve any notice which would otherwise be required by section 30 of that Act (which relates to the construction of boreholes and similar works in respect of which a licence is not required). 13 Any dispute arising between the promoter and the Agency under this article (other than a difference as to its meaning or construction) shall, if the parties agree, be determined by arbitration under article 82 (arbitration), but shall otherwise be determined by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Secretary of State for Transport acting jointly on a reference to them by the promoter or the Agency, after notice in writing by one to the other. For protection of electricity, gas, water and sewerage undertakers 72 The provisions of Schedule 12 (for protection of electricity, gas, water and sewerage undertakers) shall have effect. For protection of British Waterways Board 73 The provisions of Schedule 13 (for protection of British Waterways Board) shall have effect.
