Application of the 1991 Act 11 1 Works executed under this Order in relation to a highway which consists of or includes a carriageway are to be treated for the purposes of Part 3 (street works in England and Wales) of the 1991 Act as major highway works if— a they are of a description mentioned in any of paragraphs (a), (c) to (e), (g) and (h) of section 86(3) (which defines what highway authority works are major highway works) of that Act; or b they are works which could have been carried out by the highway authority for the relevant highway in exercise of the powers conferred by section 64 (dual carriageways and roundabouts) of the 1980 Act or section 184 (vehicle crossings over footways and verges) of that Act. 2 In Part 3 of the 1991 Act references, in relation to major highway works, to the highway authority concerned are, in relation to works which are major highway works by virtue of paragraph (1), to be construed as references to the undertaker. 3 The following provisions of the 1991 Act do not apply in relation to any works executed under the powers of this Order— section 56 (power to give directions as to timing of street works); section 56A (power to give directions as to placing of apparatus); section 58 (restrictions on works following substantial road works); section 58A (restriction on works following substantial street works); section 73A (power to require undertaker to re-surface street); section 73B (power to specify timing etc. of re-surfacing); section 73C (materials, workmanship and standard of re-surfacing); section 78A (contributions to costs of re-surfacing by undertaker); and Schedule 3A (restriction on works following substantial street works). 4 The provisions of the 1991 Act mentioned in paragraph (5) (which, together with other provisions of that Act, apply in relation to the execution of street works) and any regulations made, or code of practice issued or approved under, those provisions apply (with the necessary modifications) in relation to any stopping up, alteration or diversion of a street of a temporary nature by the undertaker under the powers conferred by article 15 (temporary stopping up and restriction of use of streets) whether or not the stopping up, alteration or diversion constitutes street works within the meaning of that Act. 5 The provisions of the 1991 Act referred to in paragraph (4) are— section 54 (advance notice of certain works), subject to paragraph (6); section 55 (notice of starting date of works), subject to paragraph (6); section 57 (notice of emergency works); section 59 (general duty of street authority to co-ordinate works); section 60 (general duty of undertakers to co-operate); section 68 (facilities to be afforded to street authority); section 69 (works likely to affect other apparatus in the street); section 75 (inspection fees); section 76 (liability for cost of temporary traffic regulation); and section 77 (liability for cost of use of alternative route), and all such other provisions as apply for the purposes of the provisions mentioned above. 6 Sections 54 and 55 of the 1991 Act as applied by paragraph (4) have effect as if references in section 57 of that Act to emergency works were a reference to a stopping up, alteration or diversion (as the case may be) required in a case of emergency. 7 Nothing in article 12 (construction and maintenance of new, altered or diverted streets and other structures)— a affects the operation of section 87 (prospectively maintainable highways) of the 1991 Act, and the undertaker is not by reason of any duty under paragraph (3) of that article to maintain a street or to be taken to be the street authority in relation to that street for the purposes of Part 3 of that Act; or b has effect in relation to street works as respects which the provisions of Part 3 of the 1991 Act apply. Construction and maintenance of new, altered or diverted streets and other structures 12 1 Subject to paragraph (2), any highway to be constructed, altered or diverted under this Order, including any culverts or other structures laid under or in it, must be maintained by and at the expense of the highway authority for that highway from its completion. 2 A variable message sign provided under this Order must be maintained by the undertaker. 3 Where a street which is not and is not intended to be a public highway is constructed, altered or diverted under this Order, the street (or part of the street as the case may be) must, when completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority, unless otherwise agreed in writing, be maintained by and at the expense of the undertaker for a period of 12 months from its completion and at the expiry of that period by and at the expense of the street authority. 4 The new bridge and new bridge approaches must be maintained by and at the expense of the local highway authority from the date of their completion. 5 In any action against the undertaker in respect of loss or damage resulting from any failure by the undertaker to maintain a street under this article, it is a defence (without prejudice to any other defence or the application of the law relating to contributory negligence) to prove that the undertaker 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. 6 For the purposes of a defence under paragraph (5), the court must in particular have regard to the following matters— a the character of the street 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 undertaker 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 undertaker 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 to prove that the undertaker had arranged for a competent person to carry out or supervise the maintenance of the part of the street to which the action relates unless it is also proved that the undertaker 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. 7 Where any works to which this article relates are works to a highway for which the undertaker is not the highway authority, the date for completion of those works is to be such date as is agreed by the undertaker and the highway authority. 8 The date of completion of any works referred to in paragraph (3) is to be such date as is agreed by the undertaker and the street authority. Classification of roads 13 1 In this article “ the specified road ” means the length of new highway to be constructed commencing from the eastern arm of the existing A47 Harfreys's Roundabout junction, extending in an easterly direction to its junction with South Denes Road, and identified by solid green lines on the classification of roads plan. 2 On the day on which the authorised development is completed and open for traffic the specified road is to be classified as the A1154 and the specified road is to be— a a principal road for the purpose of any enactment or instrument which refers to highways classified as principal roads; and b a classified road for the purpose of any enactment or instrument which refers to highways classified as classified roads, as if such classification had been made under section 12(3) (general provision as to principal and classified roads) of the 1980 Act.

Temporary stopping up and restriction of use of streets 15 1 The undertaker, during and for the purposes of constructing the authorised development, may— a temporarily, stop up, alter or divert any street, or any part of it, and b for any reasonable time and subject to paragraph (3)— i prevent all persons from passing along any street or part of a street; or ii restrict or prohibit the use of any street, or of any part of it, by vehicles, or vehicles of any class, or by pedestrians, to such extent and subject to such conditions or exceptions as the undertaker may consider necessary. 2 Without limitation on the scope of paragraph (1), the undertaker may use any street where the use has been prohibited or restricted under the powers conferred by this article, and which is within the Order limits, as a temporary working site. 3 The undertaker must provide reasonable access for pedestrians going to or from premises abutting a street affected by the temporary stopping up, alteration or diversion, or prohibition or restriction of the use of a street under this article if there would otherwise be no such access. 4 The undertaker must not temporarily stop up, alter or divert any street without the consent of the street authority which may attach reasonable conditions to any consent. 5 Any person who suffers loss by the suspension of any private right of way under this article is entitled to compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. Access to works 16 The undertaker may, for the purposes of the authorised development, form and lay out means of access, or improve existing means of access, at such locations within the Order limits as the undertaker reasonably requires for the purposes of the authorised development. Agreements with street authorities 17 1 The following provisions of this article apply where, in relation to an existing or proposed street, the undertaker is not or (as the case may be) will not be the street authority. 2 A street authority and the undertaker may enter into agreements with respect to— a the construction of any new street including any structure carrying the street over or under any element of the authorised development; b the strengthening, improvement, repair or reconstruction of any street under the powers conferred by this Order; c the maintenance of the structure of any bridge or tunnel carrying a street; d any stopping up, alteration, or diversion of, or prohibition or restriction of the use of, a street (whether temporary or permanent) authorised by this Order; e the construction in the street of any of the works referred to in article 10(1) (street works); or f such other works as the street authority and the undertaker may agree. 3 Such an agreement may, without limitation on the scope of paragraph (2)— a make provision for the street authority to carry out any function under this Order which relates to the street in question; b specify a reasonable time for the completion of the works; and c contain such terms as to payment and otherwise as the parties consider appropriate. Traffic regulation measures 18 1 Subject to the provisions of this article, the undertaker may, for the purposes of the authorised development— a make provision, in respect of those lengths of roads specified in column (2) of Part 1 (prohibitions and restrictions of waiting, loading, etc.) of Schedule 5 (traffic regulation measures) as to the permitting, prohibition or restriction of the waiting, parking, loading or unloading of vehicles as specified in column (3) of that Part of that Schedule; b make provision, in respect of those lengths of roads specified in column (2) of Part 2 (direction of travel, entry, etc.) of Schedule 5, as to the direction of travel of vehicular traffic or the entry of pedestrians, vehicles or other classes of road user as specified in column (3) of that Part of that Schedule; c in respect of those lengths of roads specified in column (2) of Part 3 (variation and revocation of existing orders) of Schedule 5, make provision revoking or varying the orders specified in column (3) of that Part of that Schedule in the manner specified in column (4) of that Part of that Schedule; and d make provision revoking, amending or suspending in whole or in part any order made, or having effect as if made, under the 1984 Act in so far as it is inconsistent with any prohibition, restriction or other provision made by the undertaker under the preceding provisions of this paragraph. 2 Subject to the provisions of this article and without limitation to the exercise of the powers conferred by paragraph (1), the undertaker may make provision, in so far as necessary or expedient for the purposes of, in connection with, or in consequence of the construction, maintenance and operation of the authorised development— a as to the speed at which vehicles may proceed along any road; b permitting, prohibiting or restricting the stopping, waiting, loading or unloading of vehicles on any road; c authorising the use as a parking place of any road; d as to prescribed routes for vehicular traffic or the direction or priority of vehicular traffic on any road; e permitting, prohibiting or restricting the use by vehicular traffic of any road; f permitting, prohibiting or restricting the use by pedestrians or other non-vehicular traffic of any road forming part of, or adjacent to, the new bridge; and g revoking, amending or suspending in whole or in part any order made, or having effect as if made, under the 1984 Act. 3 The power conferred by paragraph (2) may be exercised at any time prior to the expiry of 24 months from the opening of the authorised development for public use but subject to paragraph (7) any prohibition, restriction or other provision made under paragraph (2) may have effect both before and after the expiry of that period. 4 Subject to paragraph (5) and (in relation to provision made under paragraph (1)) so far as consistent with the specifications contained in column 3 of the Parts of Schedule 5, the provision made by the undertaker under paragraph (1) and (2) may, as the undertaker considers necessary or expedient, be made so as to apply— a to all road users of a specified class, or to specified categories of road user within that class; b during all times and circumstances or only at specified times and circumstances; c permanently or for a specified period; and d subject to specified exceptions, limitations or conditions, including any which are necessary or expedient in consequence of the provision of a crossing under paragraph (11). 5 No speed limit imposed by or under this Order applies to vehicles falling within regulation 3(4) of the Road Traffic Exemptions (Special Forces) (Variation and Amendment) Regulations 2011 when used in accordance with regulation 3(5) of those Regulations. 6 Before exercising the powers conferred by paragraph (2) the undertaker must consult the chief officer of police in whose area the road is situated and (where the undertaker is not the traffic authority for that road) the traffic authority and have regard to any representations made. 7 The undertaker must not exercise the powers conferred by paragraphs (1) or (2) unless the undertaker has— a given not less than— i 12 weeks' notice in writing of the undertaker's intention so to do in the case of a prohibition, restriction or other provision intended to have effect permanently; or ii except in a case of emergency, 14 days' notice in writing of the undertaker's intention so to do in the case of a prohibition, restriction or other provision intended to have effect temporarily, to the chief officer of police in whose area the road is situated and (where the undertaker is not the traffic authority for that road) to the traffic authority; and b published the undertaker's intention in such manner as the undertaker considers appropriate. 8 Any prohibition, restriction or other provision made under paragraphs (1) or (2) of this article may be suspended, varied or revoked by the undertaker from time to time by subsequent exercise of the powers conferred by paragraph (1) or (2) within a period of 24 months from the opening of the authorised development for public use. 9 Any prohibition, restriction or other provision made by the undertaker under paragraphs (1) or (2) (“the provision”)— a must be made by written instrument in such form as the undertaker considers appropriate; b must be publicised by the undertaker in such manner as the undertaker considers appropriate; c has effect as if duly made by— i the traffic authority in whose area the relevant road is situated as an order made under the 1984 Act if the provision is one which could have been so made by that traffic authority; or ii the local authority in whose area the road is situated, as an order under section 32 (power of local authorities to provide parking places) of the 1984 Act if the provision is one which could have been so made by that local authority; and accordingly— iii may (without prejudice to the undertaker's powers under paragraph (2) during the period specified in paragraph (3) be suspended, varied or revoked by the relevant traffic authority or local authority in accordance with the 1984 Act; and iv may be enforced by means of civil enforcement of contraventions under Part 6 of the 2004 Act to the same extent as if the provision had been contained in an order made by the traffic authority or a local authority. 10 In making provision by written instrument under paragraph (9) the undertaker may give effect to the provision as it thinks fit including by way of— a amending or revoking an existing order or other provision made under the 1984 Act; or b consolidating the provision made by the instrument with the provision made by an existing order or other provision made under the 1984 Act. 11 The undertaker may provide crossings of the types and locations shown on the traffic regulation measures plans. 12 A crossing provided under paragraph (11) has effect as a pedestrian crossing duly established under section 23 (powers of strategic highways companies and local traffic authorities with respect to pedestrian crossings) of the 1984 Act by the local traffic authority for the relevant road if the crossing is one which could have been so established by the local traffic authority. 13 A crossing provided under paragraph (11) must accord with any requirements of the 2016 Regulations and Directions which apply to a crossing of the type provided (and if so provided, and the crossing is of a type whose provision is authorised by the 2016 Regulations and Directions, the crossing has effect as if so provided). 14 Expressions used in this article and in the 1984 Act have the same meaning in this article as in that Act. 15 The highways comprised in the new bridge and the new bridge approaches are deemed to be highways to which the provisions of section 127(1) (footpaths, bridleways, restricted byways and byways open to all traffic) of the 1984 Act apply. Disapplication of obligations where undertaker is the street authority 19 Any obligation imposed on the undertaker by this Order in relation to a street or part of a street to— a obtain the consent or agreement of the street authority; or b to carry out any works or activity to the satisfaction of the street authority, does not apply where, in relation to the relevant street or part of a street, the undertaker is the street authority. PART 4 SUPPLEMENTAL POWERS Discharge of water 20 1 Subject to paragraphs (3), (4) and (5), the undertaker may use any watercourse or any public sewer or drain for the drainage of water in connection with the construction, maintenance or use 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) is to be determined as if it were a dispute under section 106 (right to communicate with public sewers) of the Water Industry Act 1991 . 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 Where the undertaker discharges water into, or makes any opening into, a watercourse, public sewer or drain belonging to or under the control of the Waveney, Lower Yare and Lothingland Internal Drainage Board, the provisions of Part 5 of Schedule 14 (protective provisions) apply in substitution for the provisions of paragraphs (3) and (4). 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 In this article— a “ public sewer or drain ” means a sewer or drain which belongs to the Homes and Communities Agency (known as Homes England), the GYPA, the Environment Agency, an internal drainage board, a joint planning board, a local authority, or a sewerage undertaker; and b other expressions, excluding watercourse, used both in this article and in the Water Resources Act 1991 have the same meaning as in that Act. 8 Nothing in this article overrides the requirement for an environmental permit under regulation 12 (requirement for environmental permit) of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 . Protective works to buildings 21 1 Subject to the following provisions of this article, the undertaker may at its own expense carry out such protective works to any building within the Order limits or which may be affected by the authorised development as the undertaker considers necessary or expedient. 2 Protective 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 development; or b after the completion of that part of the authorised development in the vicinity of the building at any time up to the end of the period of 5 years beginning with the day on which that part of the authorised development is first opened for use. 3 For the purpose of determining how the functions under this article are to be exercised the undertaker may (subject to paragraph (6)) enter and survey— a any building falling within paragraph (1) and any land within its curtilage; and b where necessary or expedient, land which is adjacent to the building falling within paragraph (1) but outside its curtilage (whether or not such adjacent land is inside or outside the Order limits). 4 The power to survey buildings and land conferred by paragraph (3) includes the power to place and leave monitoring apparatus on land or within a building and to remove such apparatus. 5 For the purpose of constructing protective works to a building under this article the undertaker may (subject to paragraphs (6) and (7))— 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 (whether or not such adjacent land is inside or outside the Order limits) but not any building erected on it, and in either case the undertaker may take exclusive possession of the building and land if this is reasonably necessary for the purpose of constructing the protective works. 6 Before exercising— a a right under paragraph (1) to carry out protective works to a building; b a right under paragraph (3) to enter a building and land within its curtilage; c a right under paragraph (5)(a) to enter and take possession of a building and land within its curtilage; or d a right under paragraph (5)(b) to enter and take possession of land, the undertaker must, 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 protective works proposed to be carried out. 7 Where a notice is served under paragraph (6)(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 whether it is necessary or expedient to carry out the protective works or to enter the building or land to be referred to arbitration under article 67 (arbitration). 8 The undertaker must compensate the owners and occupiers of any building or land in relation to which rights under this article have been exercised for any loss or damage arising to them by reason of the exercise of those rights. 9 Where— a protective 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 development carried out in the vicinity of the building is first opened for use it appears that the protective works are inadequate to protect the building against damage caused by the construction or use of that part of the authorised development, the undertaker must compensate the owners and occupiers of the building for any loss or damage sustained by them. 10 Subject to article 42 (no double recovery), nothing in this article relieves the undertaker from any liability to pay compensation under section 152 (compensation in case where no right to claim in nuisance) of the 2008 Act. 11 Any compensation payable under paragraph (8) or (9) is to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act. 12 Provided that the requirements of paragraph (6) are met, section 13 (refusal to give possession to acquiring authority) of the 1965 Act applies to the entry onto, or possession 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. 13 In this article “ protective 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 use of the authorised development; b any works the purpose of which is to remedy any damage which has been caused to the building by the construction, maintenance or use of the authorised development; and c any works the purpose of which is to secure the safe operation of the authorised development or to prevent or minimise the risk of such operation being disrupted. Authority to survey and investigate land 22 1 Subject to paragraphs (2) to (4), the undertaker may for the purposes of this Order authorise any person to enter on any land 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)— i make trial holes in such positions on the land as the undertaker thinks fit to investigate the nature of the surface layer and subsoil; ii remove samples of soil or of water within or covering the land; iii carry out ecological, environmental or archaeological investigations on the land, including the monitoring of any matter; and c 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 and occupier of the land. 3 Any person entering land under this article— a must, if so required, before or after entering the land, produce written evidence of their 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 are to be made under this article— a in a highway for which the undertaker is not the highway authority, without the consent of the highway authority; or b in a private street without the consent of the 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 powers conferred by this article, such compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act. 6 Provided that the requirements of paragraph (2) are met, section 13 (refusal to give possession to acquiring authority) of the 1965 Act applies to the entry onto 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. Temporary suspension of navigation in connection with the authorised development 23 1 Notwithstanding anything in any other enactment or in any rule of law, the undertaker may in accordance with the provisions of this article temporarily close any part of the river Yare under paragraph (2) or (4) for the purposes of constructing, inspecting or maintaining the authorised development. 2 For the purposes of constructing the authorised development the undertaker may, having first consulted the GYPA, close the entire width of the river Yare within the Order limits. 3 The power conferred by paragraph (2) is to be exercised on no more than 3 occasions and the period of closure on each such occasion is not to exceed 72 hours. 4 In addition to the closures authorised by paragraph (2), the undertaker may, with the consent of the GYPA— a for the purposes of constructing the authorised development partially reduce the width of the river Yare within the Order limits; and b for the purposes of inspecting or maintaining the authorised development— i partially reduce the width of the river Yare within the Order limits; or ii close the entire width of the river Yare within the Order limits in circumstances where there is no reasonable alternative. 5 The consent of the GYPA under paragraph (4) must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and where granted may be given subject to reasonable conditions. 6 In the application of paragraph (5) regard is to be had to— a the urgency and importance of the activities or works in relation to which the closure is sought; b the limitations of available materials or technology relevant to the activities or works; c any danger or detriment to users of the river and highways which will or may result if the works or activities are not carried out as proposed; d any potential consequences to the users of the river for business and recreational purposes; e any potential material damage to the business of Great Yarmouth Port Company; and f any other matter or factors which are material in all the circumstances. 7 Before exercising the powers conferred by paragraphs (2) and (4) the undertaker must (except where exercising the power conferred by paragraph (4) in a case of emergency)— a publish notice of the temporary closure in Lloyd's List and on a website maintained by the undertaker; and b display notice of the temporary closure for the minimum period in a conspicuous position adjacent to the area of the closure from the date of the notice published under sub-paragraph (a) above. 8 Following consultation with the GYPA under paragraph (2) or (as the case may be) the grant of the GYPA's consent under paragraph (4), the GYPA must as soon as practicable upon the undertaker's request issue a notice to mariners giving the commencement date and anticipated duration of the relevant temporary closure. 9 Except in a case of emergency, the period between the publication of a notice required by paragraph (7)(a) and the commencement date of the closure to which it relates must not be less than the minimum period. 10 Where the undertaker exercises the powers conferred by this article in a case of emergency, the undertaker must as soon as practicable display notice of the temporary closure in a conspicuous position adjacent to the area of the closure. 11 In this article and in article 24 (removal of vessels) “ emergency ” means any circumstance existing or imminent which the undertaker considers is likely to cause danger to— a any person or property, including the new bridge, any vessel and any person using, working on, or intending to use or work on the new bridge or aboard any vessel passing the new bridge; or b the environment. 12 In this article— “ Great Yarmouth Port Company ” means Great Yarmouth Port Company Ltd (company number 05971330) of Maritime Centre, Port of Liverpool, Liverpool, L21 1LA; “ the minimum period ” means— 21 days in the case of a closure of the entire width of the river Yare; 14 days in the case of a partial reduction in the width of the river Yare. Removal of vessels 24 1 If it appears to the undertaker necessary or convenient to do so for the purposes of the construction or maintenance of the authorised development, or to enable vessels to navigate through the river Yare, it may by written direction require the GYPA to remove from the river Yare any vessel that is— a sunk, stranded or abandoned; or b moored or laid up (whether lawfully or not), to another place within Great Yarmouth Port where it may without injury to the vessel be moored or laid. 2 The GYPA must comply with a direction issued by the undertaker under paragraph (1) within such period as is specified in the notice. 3 Before exercising the powers conferred by paragraph (1), the undertaker must, except in case of emergency— a publish a notice of its intention to do so in Lloyd's List and once in each of 2 successive weeks in a local newspaper published or circulating in the borough of Great Yarmouth; b display notice thereof in a conspicuous position adjacent to the vessel from the date on which the first notice is published in a local newspaper in accordance with sub-paragraph (a) for a period of at least 7 days from the date on which the second notice is published in a local newspaper in accordance with sub-paragraph (a); and c consult the harbour master. 4 Each notice published or displayed under paragraph (3) must— a specify the vessel and the part of the river Yare to which the notice relates; b state the reason for the undertaker's intention to require the GYPA to remove the specified vessel from the specified part of the river Yare; c specify a date, which must be a date not earlier than one month after the last date on which a notice is published under paragraph (3) by which the specified vessels must be removed from the specified part of the river Yare specified in the notice; d state that if the owner or master of any vessel of the specified description within the specified part of the river Yare does not remove that vessel on or before the date specified in accordance with sub-paragraph (c), the undertaker may direct the GYPA to remove the vessel; and e summarise the effect of paragraph (6) of this article. 5 The undertaker must pay to the GYPA all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the GYPA in discharging its duties under this article. 6 Subject to paragraph (7), the undertaker may recover as a debt from the owner of any vessel removed under this article all costs and expenses incurred by the undertaker in respect of the removal of the vessel, including sums paid to the GYPA under paragraph (5). 7 Paragraph (6) does not apply where a vessel has been removed without notice in case of emergency. 8 The undertaker and GYPA may enter into agreements relating to the manner in which the powers of this article are to be exercised. 9 In this article “ emergency ” has the meaning assigned to it by article 23(11). PART 5 POWERS OF ACQUISITION AND POSSESSION OF LAND Powers of Acquisition Compulsory acquisition of land 25 1 The undertaker may acquire compulsorily so much of the Order land as is required for the authorised development, or to facilitate it, or as is incidental to it. 2 This article is subject to article 28 (compulsory acquisition of rights), article 33 (acquisition of subsoil or airspace etc., only) and article 35 (temporary use of land for constructing the authorised development). Compulsory acquisition of land – incorporation of the mineral code 26 Parts 2 and 3 of Schedule 2 (minerals) to the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 are incorporated into this Order subject to the modifications that— a paragraph 8(3) is not incorporated; and b for “the acquiring authority” substitute “ the undertaker ” . Time limit for exercise of powers to possess land temporarily or to acquire land compulsorily 27 1 After the end of the period of 5 years beginning with the day on which this Order comes into force— a no notice to treat is to be served under Part 1 (compulsory purchase under Acquisition of Land Act of 1946) of the 1965 Act as modified by article 31 (modification of Part 1 of the 1965 Act); and b no declaration is to be executed under section 4 (execution of declaration) of the 1981 Act as applied by article 32 (application of the 1981 Act), in relation to any part of the Order land. 2 The authority conferred by article 35 (temporary use of land for constructing the authorised development) ceases at the end of the period referred to in paragraph (1), except that nothing in this paragraph prevents the undertaker from remaining in possession of land after the end of that period, if the land was entered and possession was taken before the end of that period. Compulsory acquisition of rights 28 1 Subject to the following paragraphs of this article, the undertaker may acquire such rights over the Order land or impose such restrictive covenants affecting the Order land, including rights and restrictive covenants for the benefit of a statutory undertaker or any other person, as may be required for any purpose for which that land may be acquired under article 25 (compulsory acquisition of land), by creating them as well as acquiring rights already in existence. 2 In the case of the Order land specified in columns (1) and (2) of Schedule 6 (land in which only new rights may be acquired) the undertaker's powers of compulsory acquisition are limited to the acquisition under paragraph (1) of such wayleaves, easements, new rights over the land or the imposition of such restrictive covenants as the undertaker may require for or in connection with the authorised development, or to facilitate it or as is incidental to it, for the purposes specified in column (3) of Schedule 6 in relation to that land. 3 The power under paragraph (1) to acquire the rights and to impose the restrictive covenants described in Schedule 6 for the benefit of statutory undertakers or for the benefit of any other person— a does not preclude the acquisition of such other rights and the imposition of such other restrictive covenants in respect of the same land in accordance with Schedule 6 as may be required for the benefit of any other statutory undertaker or any other person; and b must not be exercised in a way that precludes the acquisition of such other rights and the imposition of such other restrictive covenants in respect of the same land in accordance with Schedule 6 as are required for the benefit of any other statutory undertaker or any other person. 4 Subject to section 8 (other provisions as to divided land) of, and Schedule 2A (counter-notice requiring purchase of land not in notice to treat) to, the 1965 Act (as substituted by paragraph 97(8) of Schedule 7 (modification of compensation and compulsory purchase enactments for the creation of new rights)), where the undertaker acquires a right over land or the benefit of a restrictive covenant under paragraph (1) or (2) the undertaker is not required to acquire a greater interest in that land. 5 Schedule 7 (modification of compensation and compulsory purchase enactments for creation of new rights) has 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 of a right over land by the creation of a new right or the imposition of a restrictive covenant. Private rights over land 29 1 Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights over land subject to compulsory acquisition under this Order are extinguished— a from the date of acquisition of the land by the undertaker, whether compulsorily or by agreement; b on the date of entry onto land by the undertaker under section 11(1) (powers of entry) of the 1965 Act; or c on commencement of any activity authorised by the Order which interferes with or breaches those rights, whichever is the earlier. 2 Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights over land subject to the compulsory acquisition of rights or the imposition of restrictive covenants under this Order are extinguished in so far as their continuance would be inconsistent with the exercise of the right or the burden of the restrictive covenant— a from the date of the acquisition of the right or the benefit of the restrictive covenant by the undertaker, whether compulsorily or by agreement; b on the date of entry onto land by the undertaker under section 11(1) of the 1965 Act; or c on commencement of any activity authorised by the Order which interferes with or breaches those rights, whichever is the earlier. 3 Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights over any part of the Order land that is vested in or acquired by the undertaker are extinguished on the commencement of any activity authorised by this Order which interferes with or breaches those rights. 4 Subject to the provisions of this article, all private rights over land of which the undertaker takes temporary possession under this Order are suspended and unenforceable for as long as the undertaker remains in lawful possession of the land. 5 Any person who suffers loss by the extinguishment or suspension of any private right or by the imposition of any restrictive covenant under this article is entitled to compensation in accordance with the terms of section 152 (compensation in case where no right to claim in nuisance) of the 2008 Act to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act. 6 This article does not apply in relation to any right to which section 138 (extinguishment of rights, and removal of apparatus, of statutory undertakers etc.) of the 2008 Act or article 37 (statutory undertakers and utilities) applies. 7 Paragraphs (1) to (3) have effect subject to— a any notice given by the undertaker before— i the completion of the acquisition of the land or the acquisition of the rights or the imposition of the restrictive covenants over or affecting the land; ii the undertaker's appropriation of it; iii the undertaker's entry onto it; or iv the undertaker's taking temporary possession of it, that any or all of those paragraphs do not apply to any right specified in the notice; and b any agreement evidenced in writing and made at any time between the undertaker and the person in or to whom the right in question is vested or belongs. 8 If any such agreement as is referred to in paragraph (7)(b)— a is made with a person in or to whom the right is vested or belongs; and b is expressed to have effect also for the benefit of those deriving title from or under that person, it is effective in respect of the persons so deriving title, whether the title was derived before or after the making of the agreement. 9 References in this article to private rights over land include any right of way, trust, incident, easement, liberty, privilege, right or advantage annexed to land and adversely affecting other land, including any natural right to support and include restrictions as to the user of land arising by virtue of a contract, agreement or undertaking having that effect. Power to override easements and other rights 30 1 Any authorised activity which takes place on land within the Order limits (whether the activity is undertaken by the undertaker or by any person deriving title from the undertaker or by any contractors, servants or agents of the undertaker) 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 user of land arising by virtue of contract. 2 The interests and rights to which this article applies include any easement, liberty, privilege, right or advantage annexed to land and adversely affecting other land, including any natural right to support and include restrictions as to the user of land arising by the virtue of a contract. 3 Where an interest, right or restriction is overridden by paragraph (1), compensation— a is payable under section 7 (measure of compensation in case of severance) or section 10 (further provision 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 where— i the compensation is to be estimated in connection with a purchase under that Act; or ii the injury arises from the construction of works on or use of land acquired under that Act. 4 Where a person deriving title under the undertaker by whom the land in question was acquired— a is liable to pay compensation by virtue of paragraph (3); and b fails to discharge that liability, the liability is enforceable against the undertaker. 5 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. 6 In this article “ authorised activity ” means— a the erection, construction or maintenance of any part of the authorised development; b the exercise of any power authorised by this Order; or c the use of any land as is required for the authorised development, or to facilitate it, or as is incidental to it (including the temporary use of land). Modification of Part 1 of the 1965 Act 31 1 Part 1 (compulsory purchase under Acquisition of Land Act 1946) of the 1965 Act, as applied to this Order by section 125 (application of compulsory acquisition provisions) of the 2008 Act, is modified as follows. 2 In section 4A(1) (extension of time limit during challenge) for “section 23 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 (application to High Court in respect of compulsory purchase order), the three year period mentioned in section 4” substitute “ section 118 (legal challenges relating to applications for orders granting development consent) of the Planning Act 2008, the five year period mentioned in article 27 (time limit for exercise of powers to possess land temporarily or to acquire land compulsorily) of the Great Yarmouth Third River Crossing Development Consent Order 2020 ” . 3 In section 11A (powers of entry: further notice of entry)— a in subsection (1)(a) after “land” insert “ under that provision ” ; and b in subsection (2) after “land” insert “ under that provision ” . 4 In section 22(2) (expiry of time limit for exercise of compulsory purchase power not to affect acquisition of interests omitted from purchase), for “section 4 of this Act” substitute “ article 27 (time limit for exercise of powers to possess land temporarily or to acquire land compulsorily) of the Great Yarmouth Third River Crossing Development Consent Order 2020 ” . 5 In Schedule 2A (counter-notice requiring purchase of land not in notice to treat)— a for paragraphs 1(2) and 14(2) substitute— 2 But see article 33(4) (acquisition of subsoil or airspace etc., only) of the Great Yarmouth Third River Crossing Development Consent Order 2020, which excludes the acquisition of subsoil or airspace only from this Schedule ; and b after paragraph 29, insert— PART 4 INTERPRETATION 30 In this Schedule, references to entering on and taking possession of land do not include doing so under articles 21 (protective works to buildings), 22 (authority to survey and investigate land), 35 (temporary use of land for constructing the authorised development) or 36 (temporary use of land for maintaining the authorised development) of the Great Yarmouth Third River Crossing Development Consent Order 2020. . Application of the 1981 Act 32 1 The 1981 Act applies as if this Order were a compulsory purchase order. 2 The 1981 Act, as applied by paragraph (1), has effect with the following modifications. 3 In section 1 (application of Act) for subsection (2) substitute— 2 This section applies to any Minister, any local or other public authority or any other body or person authorised to acquire land by means of a compulsory purchase order. 4 In section 5 (earliest date for execution of declaration) in subsection (2), omit the words from “, and this subsection” to the end. 5 Omit section 5A (time limit for general vesting declaration). 6 In section 5B (extension of time limit during challenge) for “section 23 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 (application to High Court in respect of compulsory purchase order), the three year period mentioned in section 5A” substitute “ section 118 (legal challenges relating to applications for orders granting development consent) of the Planning Act 2008, the five year period mentioned in article 27 (time limit for the exercise of powers to possess land temporarily or acquire land compulsorily) of the Great Yarmouth Third River Crossing Development Consent Order 2020 ” . 7 In section 6 (notices after execution of declaration) in subsection (1)(b) for “section 15 of, or paragraph 6 of Schedule 1 to, the Acquisition of Land Act 1981” substitute “ section 134 (notice of authorisation of compulsory acquisition) of the Planning Act 2008 ” . 8 In section 7 (constructive notice to treat) in subsection (1)(a), omit “(as modified by section 4 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981)”. 9 In Schedule A1 (counter-notice requiring purchase of land not in general vesting declaration), for paragraph 1(2) substitute— 2 But see article 33(4) (acquisition of subsoil or airspace etc., only) of the Great Yarmouth Third River Crossing Development Consent Order 2020, which excludes the acquisition of subsoil or airspace only from this Schedule. . 10 References to the 1965 Act in the 1981 Act are to be construed as references to the 1965 Act as applied by section 125 (application of compulsory acquisition provisions) of the 2008 Act (as modified by article 31 (modification of Part 1 of the 1965 Act)) to the compulsory acquisition of land under this Order. Acquisition of subsoil or airspace etc., only 33 1 The undertaker may acquire compulsorily so much of, or such rights over, the subsoil beneath, or the surface of, or the airspace above, the land referred to in paragraph (1) of article 25 (compulsory acquisition of land) as may be required for any purpose for which that land may be acquired under that provision instead of acquiring the whole of the land. 2 In the case of the Order land specified in columns (1) and (2) of Schedule 8 (land in which only airspace and new rights may be acquired) the undertaker's powers of compulsory acquisition under article 25 (compulsory acquisition of land) are limited to— a the acquisition of such airspace; and b the acquisition of such easements or other new rights and the imposition of such restrictive covenants over the airspace and the surface of the land, as the undertaker may require for or in connection with the authorised development. 3 Where the undertaker acquires any part of, or rights over, the subsoil beneath, or the surface of, or the airspace over land referred to in paragraphs (1) or (2), the undertaker is not required to acquire an interest in any other part of the land. 4 The following do not apply in connection with the exercise of the powers under paragraphs (1) and (2) in relation to subsoil or airspace only— a Schedule 2A (counter-notice requiring purchase of land not in notice to treat) to the 1965 Act as modified by article 31 (modification of Part 1 of the 1965 Act); b Schedule A1 (counter-notice requiring purchase of land not in general vesting declaration) to the 1981 Act; and c section 153(4A) (blighted land; proposed acquisition of part interest; material detriment test) of the 1990 Act. 5 Paragraphs (3) and (4) are to be disregarded where the undertaker acquires a cellar, vault, arch or other construction forming part of a house, building or manufactory or airspace above a house, building or manufactory. 6 References in paragraph (2)(a) to airspace are references to the airspace lying at and above the heights specified in column (3) of Schedule 8, which are heights above Ordnance Datum and references in paragraph (2)(b) to airspace are references to the airspace lying below the airspace referenced in paragraph (2)(a). Rights over or under streets 34 1 The undertaker may enter on, appropriate and use so much of the subsoil of, or airspace over, any street within the Order limits as may be required for the purposes of the authorised development or to facilitate it or as is incidental to it. 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 in respect of which the power of appropriation conferred by paragraph (1) is exercised 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 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act. 5 Compensation is not payable under paragraph (4) to any person who is an undertaker to 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 possession of land Temporary use of land for constructing the authorised development 35 1 The undertaker may, in connection with the construction of the authorised development but subject to article 27(2) (time limit for exercise of powers to possess land temporarily or to acquire land compulsorily)— a enter on and take temporary possession of— i the land specified in columns (1) and (2) of Schedule 9 (land of which only 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; and ii any of the Order land in respect of which no notice of entry has been served under section 11 (powers of entry) of the 1965 Act (other than in connection with the acquisition of rights only) and no declaration has been made under section 4 (execution of declaration) of the 1981 Act; b remove any buildings and vegetation from the land referred to in sub-paragraphs (a)(i) to (ii); c construct temporary works (including the provisions of means of access) and buildings on the land referred to in sub-paragraphs (a)(i) to (ii); and d construct any works on the land referred to in sub-paragraphs (a)(i) to (ii) as are mentioned in Schedule 1 (authorised development). 2 Not less than 28 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 and that notice must state the works, facilities or other purpose for which the undertaker intends to take possession 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— a in the case of any land specified in paragraph (1)(a)(i) 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 9; or b in the case of any land referred to in paragraph (1)(a)(ii) after the end of the period of one year beginning with the date of completion of the works, use of facilities or other purpose for which temporary possession of the land was taken unless the undertaker 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 1981 Act in relation to that land. 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— a replace a building removed under this article; b restore the land on which any permanent works have been constructed under paragraph (1)(d); c remove any ground strengthening works which have been placed on the land to facilitate construction of the authorised development; or d remove any measures installed over or around statutory undertakers' apparatus to protect that apparatus from the authorised development. 5 Any person who suffers loss as a result of the suspension of any private right of navigation under this article is entitled to be paid compensation for such loss by the undertaker, to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act. 6 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 this article. 7 Any dispute as to a person's entitlement to compensation under paragraph (6), or as to the amount of the compensation, must be determined under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. 8 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 construction of any works, other than loss or damage for which compensation is payable under paragraph (6). 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. Temporary use of land for maintaining the authorised development 36 1 Subject to paragraph (3), at any time during the maintenance period relating to any of the authorised development, the undertaker may— a enter upon and take temporary possession of any land within the Order limits if possession is reasonably required for the purpose of maintaining the authorised development; b enter on any land within the Order limits for the purpose of gaining such access as is reasonably required for the purpose of maintaining the authorised development; and c 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) does not authorise the undertaker 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 undertaker must serve notice of the intended entry on the owners and occupiers of the land and that notice must state the purpose for which the undertaker intends to take possession of the land including the particulars of the part of the authorised development for which possession is to be taken. 4 The undertaker may only remain in possession of land under this article for so long as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the maintenance of the part of the authorised development 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 undertaker must remove all temporary works and restore the land to the reasonable satisfaction of the owners of the land. 6 Any person who suffers loss as a result of the suspension of any private right of navigation under this article is entitled to be paid compensation for such loss by the undertaker, to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act. 7 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 powers conferred by this article. 8 Any dispute as to a person's entitlement to compensation under paragraph (7), or as to the amount of the compensation, must be determined under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. 9 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 execution of any works, other than loss or damage for which compensation is payable under paragraph (7). 10 Where the undertaker takes possession of land under this article, the undertaker is not required to acquire the land or any interest in it. 11 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. 12 In this article “ the maintenance period ”, in relation to any part of the authorised development, means the period of 5 years beginning with the date on which— a that part of the authorised development is first opened for public use (where that part of the authorised development is intended to be used by the public); or b in respect of any other part of the authorised development, that part is first brought into operational use by the undertaker. Supplementary Statutory undertakers and utilities 37 1 Subject to the provisions of article 28 (compulsory acquisition of rights), Schedule 14 (protective provisions) and paragraph (2), the undertaker may— a exercise the powers conferred by articles 25 (compulsory acquisition of land) and 28 (compulsory acquisition of rights) in relation to so much of the Order land as belongs to statutory undertakers; and b extinguish the rights of, or remove or reposition the apparatus belonging to, statutory undertakers over or within the Order land. 2 Paragraph (1)(b) has no effect in relation to apparatus in respect of which the following provisions apply— a Part 3 (street works in England and Wales) of the 1991 Act; or b article 38 (apparatus and rights of statutory undertakers in stopped up streets). Apparatus and rights of statutory undertakers in stopped up streets 38 1 Where a street is stopped up under article 14 (permanent stopping up of streets and private means of access), 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 14 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 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 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 carrying out of the relocation works. 4 If in the course of the carrying out 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 apparatus of that type or capacity or of those dimensions or the placing of apparatus at that depth, as the case may be, is not agreed by the undertaker, or, in default of agreement, is not determined by arbitration to be necessary, then, if it involves cost in the carrying out of the relocation works exceeding that which would have been involved if the apparatus placed had been of the existing type, capacity or dimensions, or at the existing depth, as the case may be, the amount which, apart from this paragraph, would be payable to the statutory utility by virtue of paragraph (3) is to be reduced by the amount of that excess. 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 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)) must, 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 utility any financial benefit by deferment of the time for renewal of the apparatus in the ordinary course, 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 (street works in England and Wales) of the 1991 Act, but instead— a the allowable costs of the relocation works are to 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 are to be borne by the undertaker and the statutory utility in such proportions as may be prescribed by any such regulations. 8 In this article— “ relocation works ” means work carried out, or apparatus provided, under paragraph (2); and “ statutory utility ” means a statutory undertaker for the purposes of the 1980 Act or a public communications provider as defined in section 151(1) (interpretation) of the Communications Act 2003. Recovery of costs of new connection 39 1 Where any apparatus of a statutory utility is removed under article 37 (statutory undertakers and utilities) any person who is the owner or occupier of premises to which a supply was given from that apparatus is entitled to recover from the undertaker compensation in respect of expenditure reasonably incurred by that person, in consequence of the removal, for the purpose of effecting a connection between the premises and any other apparatus from which a supply is given. 2 Paragraph (1) does not apply in the case of the removal of a public sewer but where such a sewer is removed under article 37, any person who is— a the owner or occupier of premises the drains of which communicated with that sewer; or b the owner of a private sewer which communicated with that sewer, is entitled to recover from the undertaker compensation in respect of expenditure reasonably incurred by that person, in consequence of the removal, for the purpose of making the drain or sewer belonging to that person communicate with any other public sewer or with a private sewerage disposal plant. 3 This article does not have effect in relation to apparatus to which article 38 (apparatus and rights of statutory undertakers in stopped up streets) or Part 3 of the 1991 Act applies. Compensation Disregard of certain interests and improvements 40 1 In assessing the compensation payable to any person on the acquisition from that person of any land or right over any land under this Order, the tribunal must 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 the 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 as part of the authorised development 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 as part of the authorised development, directly or indirectly concerned. Set off for enhancement in value of retained land 41 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 must 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 development. 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 28 (compulsory acquisition of rights), the tribunal must 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 required; 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 development. 3 The 1961 Act has effect, subject to paragraphs (1) and (2), as if this Order were a local enactment for the purposes of that Act. No double recovery 42 Compensation is not payable in respect of the same matter both under this Order and under any other enactment, any contract or any rule of law, or under two or more different provisions of this Order. PART 6 OPERATIONAL PROVISIONS Operation of new bridge 43 1 The undertaker is authorised to operate the new bridge, subject to the following provisions of this article. 2 The undertaker must operate the new bridge in accordance with a scheme of operation prepared by the undertaker. 3 The GYPA, and the master, owner, agent, pilot or operator of any vessel must comply with the provisions of the scheme of operation. 4 The provisions of the scheme of operation must initially consist of the provisions set out in Schedule 10 (scheme of operation). 5 At any time after the new bridge opens to public use, the undertaker may, with the agreement of GYPA which must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, amend the terms of the scheme of operation. 6 Any amendment of the scheme of operation under paragraph (5) must conform to the following principles— a the new bridge will be opened as and when required to allow the passage of any vessel except a recreational vessel; b reasonable measures are to be taken by the GYPA, the undertaker and users of the river Yare to ensure that passages of vessels past the new bridge are co-ordinated and conducted efficiently; c except when sub-paragraph (f) applies, a recreational opening will be made upon such notice and at such times as the undertaker reasonably determines; d in determining times under sub-paragraph (c) the undertaker may exclude peak hours; e recreational vessels are either to use the vessel waiting facilities or depart the port when waiting for the next recreational opening; f the new bridge will be opened on request when the vessel waiting facilities are full and another recreational vessel requests passage; g the new bridge will be opened prior to a large vessel entering Great Yarmouth Port if— i the harbour master considers that in the event the new bridge does not open to allow the large vessel to transit it, no safe alternative manoeuvre would be practicable; and ii GYPA is unable to arrange a suitable emergency berth before the large vessel enters Great Yarmouth Port; h when a large vessel transits the new bridge, any recreational vessel using the vessel waiting facilities will transit the new bridge before the large vessel, subject to any direction from the harbour master to the contrary given for safety or navigation purposes; i where a specified event occurs and as a result— i the new bridge cannot be opened; or ii opening the new bridge would be likely to cause danger to— aa any person or property, including the new bridge, any vessel and any person using, working on or intending to use or work on the new bridge or aboard any vessel; or bb the environment, the undertaker is not to be obliged to open the new bridge at the scheduled time but instead at such later time as is reasonable in the circumstances; and j no amendment of the scheme of operation is to result in any effects on the environment which are materially new or materially different from those assessed in the environmental statement. 7 Paragraphs (2) and (3) apply to the scheme of operation as amended under paragraph (5) as they do to the scheme as initially prepared in compliance with paragraph (4). 8 The undertaker must publish the initial scheme of operation and any amendments to it on a website maintained by the undertaker. 9 In this article— a “ large vessel ” means any vessel to which a pilotage direction for Great Yarmouth Port made under section 7 (pilotage directions) of the Pilotage Act 1987 applies; b “ peak hours ” means the periods on any day between— i 08:00 to 09:00; and ii 16:30 and 17:30; c “ recreational opening ” means the opening of the new bridge to allow the passage of a recreational vessel; d “ recreational vessel ” means any vessel being used solely for leisure purposes at the time the vessel transits through Great Yarmouth Port and includes any commercially operated hire vessel used or rented for leisure use; e “ the scheduled time ” means any time at which the new bridge would be due to open in accordance with the principles in paragraph (6)(a) to (d); and f “ specified event ” means— i an emergency; ii adverse weather conditions; iii a vessel colliding with the new bridge; iv a power failure, hydraulic failure or mechanical failure; or v any other circumstance beyond the reasonable control of the undertaker. 10 In this article and in article 45 (closing the highway comprised in the new bridge and new bridge approaches) “ emergency ” means any circumstance existing or imminent which the undertaker considers is likely to cause danger to— a any person or property, including the new bridge, any vessel and any person using, working on, or intending to use or work on, the new bridge or aboard any vessel passing the new bridge; or b the environment. Extinguishment of right of navigation within the river Yare in connection with authorised development 44 1 For the purpose of protecting the new bridge, the public right of navigation within the areas of the river Yare identified in paragraph (2) is extinguished in accordance with the provisions of this article. 2 The areas referred to in paragraph (1) are shown hatched brown on the rights of navigation plan. 3 Paragraph (1) does not take effect until the undertaker has, prior to commencement of construction of the new bridge— a notified the GYPA of the date from which the extinguishment is to have effect; b published notice of the extinguishment and the date from which the extinguishment is to have effect in Lloyd's List and once in each of 2 successive weeks in a local newspaper published or circulating in the Borough of Great Yarmouth; and c displayed notice of the extinguishment and the date from which the extinguishment is to have effect in a conspicuous position adjacent to the river Yare from the date of the first notice published under sub-paragraph (b) above, until at least 7 days after the date on which the last notice is published under sub-paragraph (b). 4 The date that is notified, published and displayed under paragraph (3) as the date from which the extinguishment is to have effect must not be earlier than 14 days after the last date on which a notice is published under paragraph (3)(b). 5 As soon as possible following receipt by the GYPA of notice given by the undertaker under paragraph (3), the GYPA must issue a notice to mariners giving the commencement date and other particulars of the extinguishment to which the notice relates. 6 A master of a vessel must not allow a vessel to enter into any part of the areas referred to in paragraph (2) without first obtaining the consent of the undertaker which may attach reasonable conditions to any consent. 7 Before granting a consent under paragraph (6)(6), the undertaker must consult with the harbour master. Closing the highway comprised in the new bridge and new bridge approaches 45 1 The undertaker may close any highway formed by the new bridge or the new bridge approaches, in whole or in part— a to allow the new bridge to open; b for the purpose of or in connection with the maintenance of the new bridge or the new bridge approaches; and c in case of any emergency. 2 The undertaker may provide and operate such barriers across the highway and signs as it considers necessary to secure the closure of the highway under paragraph (1) and alert highway users to the closure. 3 Where the undertaker intends to close the highway under paragraph (1)(b) it must, except where maintenance is required in an emergency— a give not less than 7 days' notice of such closure by advertisement in at least one newspaper published or circulating in the borough of Great Yarmouth; and b throughout a period of at least 7 days prior to the closure display signs at convenient locations on the new bridge approaches giving warning of the closure. 4 In this article “ emergency ” has the meaning assigned by article 43(10). Removal of vehicles 46 1 If a vehicle waiting, loading, unloading or breaking down on the new bridge or the new bridge approaches— a causes any obstruction or hazard; b prevents the opening of the new bridge; or c causes, or is likely to cause, material detriment— i to the efficient and effective operation of the new bridge; or ii the environment, the person in charge of the vehicle must immediately remove the vehicle if directed to do so by an authorised person. 2 Where, in relation to a vehicle to which paragraph (1) applies— a the person in charge of the vehicle has not complied in a timely manner with a direction made under paragraph (1) to remove the vehicle; b the person in charge of the vehicle proposes to comply with a direction made under paragraph (1) in a manner which an authorised person reasonably determines would be detrimental to the safety of that person or other persons using the highway; c an authorised person reasonably determines that directing the person in charge of the vehicle to remove it would be detrimental to the safety of that person or other persons using the highway; or d no person in charge of the vehicle is present, an authorised person may take all reasonable steps to remove the vehicle from the new bridge or (as the case may be) new bridge approaches. 3 An authorised person who removes a vehicle under paragraph (2) may do so by towing or driving the vehicle or in such other manner as the authorised person considers necessary and may take such measures in relation to the vehicle as the authorised person considers necessary to enable the vehicle to be removed. 4 A vehicle removed by an authorised person under this article— a may be returned immediately to the person in charge of that motor vehicle; or b where immediate return of that vehicle to the person in charge of it is not practicable or appropriate, must be delivered to the undertaker or to a person authorised by the undertaker to keep vehicles so removed (“the custodian” in either case). 5 In a case where the owner of the vehicle has disclaimed all rights of ownership of the vehicle and its contents and fittings, the custodian may dispose of them in such manner as it sees fit at any time. 6 In any case not falling within paragraph (5), a vehicle or its contents or fittings must not be disposed of before the end of the period of 5 weeks beginning with the date on which the vehicle was removed and until the custodian has, for the purpose of ascertaining the owner of the vehicle, taken such steps as are specified in paragraph (7) and either— a the custodian has failed to ascertain the name and address of the owner; or b the owner has failed to comply with a notice complying with paragraph (8) served on the owner by post. 7 The steps referred to in paragraph (6) are— a if the vehicle carries a United Kingdom registration mark, the custodian must ascertain from the records kept by the Secretary of State under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 the name and address of the person by whom the vehicle is kept (“the registered keeper”); and b if the vehicle does not carry such a registration mark, the custodian must make such inquiries (if any) as appear to the custodian reasonably practicable to ascertain the owner of the vehicle. 8 A notice under paragraph (6)(b) must be addressed to the owner which— a states— i the reasons for the removal of the vehicle; ii the place to which the vehicle has been removed; iii the registration mark and make of the vehicle; iv the steps required to be taken to obtain possession of the vehicle; v the RSD charges which the custodian will be entitled to recover from the owner in accordance with this article; and vi that unless the vehicle is removed by the owner on or before the date specified in sub-paragraph (b), the custodian intends to dispose of it; and b requires the owner to remove the vehicle from the custody of the custodian within 21 days of the date on which the notice was served. 9 The custodian is entitled to treat the registered keeper of the vehicle as the person entitled to its contents and fittings unless and to the extent that some other person satisfies the custodian of their claim to all or part of them. 10 Where it appears to the custodian that more than one person is the owner of the vehicle— a the notice under paragraph (6)(b) must be sent to all persons appearing to be the owner of the vehicle; and b the vehicle may not be disposed of in accordance with paragraph (5) unless all persons appearing to be the owners have disclaimed all rights of ownership. 11 Where a vehicle has been removed and delivered into the custody of a custodian in accordance with paragraph (4), the custodian is entitled to (whether or not any claim is made under paragraph (21) of this article) recover the RSD charges from the person who is or (as the case may be) was the owner of the vehicle in relation to— a the removal and storage of the vehicle; and b if the vehicle has been disposed of, its disposal. 12 Where any RSD charges are recoverable in respect of a vehicle by a custodian by virtue of paragraph (11)— a the RSD charges are recoverable as a simple contract debt in any court of competent jurisdiction; b the custodian is entitled to retain custody of the vehicle until the RSD charges recoverable by virtue of paragraph (11)(a) are paid. 13 Where— a it appears to the custodian that more than one person is the owner of the vehicle; and b one of those owners, or a person authorised by one of those owners, has gained possession of the vehicle under paragraph (16), then the owner who gained possession of the vehicle under paragraph (16) is to be treated as the owner from whom the RSD charges are recoverable. 14 Where— a it appears to the custodian that more than one person is the owner of the vehicle; and b one of those owners has made a claim under paragraph (19) that satisfies the conditions in paragraph (20), then the owner who made the claim under paragraph (19) is to be treated as the owner from whom the RSD charges is recoverable. 15 Where— a it appears to the custodian that more than one person is the owner of the vehicle; and b neither paragraph (13) nor paragraph (14) applies, then those persons are to be treated as jointly and severally liable for the RSD charges. 16 A person (“ the claimant ”) may take possession of a vehicle (with its contents and fittings) which has been removed and delivered to a custodian and has not been disposed of under this article, if the conditions specified in paragraph (17) are satisfied. 17 The conditions are that— a the claimant satisfies the custodian that the claimant is the owner of the vehicle or that the claimant is authorised by the owner to take possession of the vehicle; and b all outstanding RSD charges are paid to the custodian. 18 Where it appears to the custodian that more than one person is the owner of the vehicle, the custodian must give possession of the vehicle to the first claimant who satisfies the conditions set out in paragraph (17). 19 If, after a vehicle has been disposed of by a custodian under this article, a person claims to have been the owner of the vehicle at the time when it was disposed of and the conditions specified in paragraph (20) are fulfilled, a sum calculated in accordance with paragraph (21) is payable by the custodian to the owner. 20 The conditions are that— a the person claiming satisfies the custodian that the person so claiming was the owner of the vehicle at the time it was disposed of; b the claim is made before the end of the period of 1 year beginning with the date on which the vehicle was disposed of; and c no previous claim in respect of the vehicle has been made. 21 The sum payable under paragraph (20) is calculated by deducting from the proceeds of disposal of the vehicle the RSD charges that would have been payable under paragraph (17)(b) had the vehicle been claimed by the owner immediately before its disposal together with such RSD charges as may be due in respect of the disposal of the vehicle. 22 Where it appears to the custodian of a vehicle that more than one person is the owner of that vehicle, the custodian must treat the first person who makes a claim that satisfies the conditions set out in paragraph (20) as the owner for the purposes of this article. 23 in this article “ the RSD charges ” means such reasonable charges determined from time to time by the undertaker in accordance with paragraph (24) in respect of the removal, storage and disposal of vehicles under this article. 24 The RSD charges— a must not exceed the charges prescribed, in relation to England, by the Secretary of State under sections 101A(3), 101A(4) or 102(2) of the 1984 Act in respect of the removal, storage and disposal of vehicles under the 1984 Act; and b must be published by the undertaker in such manner as the undertaker considers appropriate. 25 For the purposes of this article the owner of a vehicle is taken to be the person by whom the vehicle is kept; and in determining for those purposes who was the owner of the vehicle at any time, it is presumed (unless the contrary appears) that the owner was the person in whose name the motor vehicle was at the relevant time registered under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994. 26 For the purposes of this article “ breaking down ”, in relation to a vehicle which is a motor vehicle, includes by way of a mechanical defect, lack of fuel, oil, water or power required for the motor vehicle or any other circumstances in which a person in charge of the vehicle could not immediately, safely and without damage to the motor vehicle or its accessories drive it under its own power away from the new bridge and the new bridge approaches. Removal of falling loads and objects 47 1 If a load or other object falling from a vehicle on the new bridge or the new bridge approaches— a causes any obstruction or hazard; b prevents the opening of the new bridge; or c causes, or is likely to cause, material detriment to— i the efficient and effective operation of the new bridge; or ii the environment, the person in charge of the vehicle must immediately remove the load or object if directed to do so by an authorised person. 2 Where, in relation to a load or other object to which paragraph (1) applies— a the person in charge of the vehicle has not complied with a direction made under paragraph (1) to remove the load or object; b the person in charge of the vehicle proposes to comply with a direction made under paragraph (1) in a manner which an authorised person reasonably determines would be detrimental to the safety of that person or other persons using the highway; c an authorised person reasonably determines that directing the person in charge of the vehicle to remove the load or object would be detrimental to the safety of that person or other persons using the highway; or d no person in charge of the vehicle is present, an authorised person may take all reasonable steps to remove the load or object from the new bridge or (as the case may be) new bridge approaches. 3 An authorised person— a may return a load or object which the authorised person has removed immediately to the person in charge of the vehicle from which it has fallen; or b where a return of the load or object which the authorised person has removed to the person in charge of the vehicle from which it has fallen is not practicable or appropriate, must deliver the load to the undertaker or to a person authorised by the undertaker to keep loads and objects so removed (“the custodian” in either case). 4 Unless it appears to the custodian that the load or object has no monetary value, the custodian must take reasonable steps to ascertain the name and address of the owner of the load or object. 5 Where the custodian has been unable to ascertain the name and address of the owner of the load or object, or is not obliged to do so under paragraph (4), the custodian may dispose of or sell the load or object as the custodian thinks fit. 6 Where the custodian has ascertained the name and address of the owner of the load or object, the custodian must notify such person that— a the load or object is in the possession of the custodian; b the owner must take possession of the load or object within 5 weeks of the date of the notice (“the claim period”); c the owner may only take possession of the load or object on the payment of the custodian's expenses in removing and storing the load or object; and d if the owner fails to act in accordance with the requirements in the notice, title in the load or object will vest in the custodian immediately upon the expiry of the claim period. 7 The custodian may recover, as a simple contract debt in any court of competent jurisdiction, any expenses reasonably incurred in the removal and storage of a load or object from the owner of that load or object. 8 Unless the owner of the load acts in accordance with the notice requirements, title in the load vests in the custodian on the date specified in the notice. 9 Where a load or object falling from a vehicle consists of, or includes, liquids or semi-liquids or items which are loose or an aggregate, or noxious, perishable or otherwise hazardous or difficult to collect up or remove, and the driver of the vehicle fails to remove it in accordance with a direction given under paragraph (1) or the fallen load or object poses a hazard to highway users— a paragraphs (2) to (8) do not apply; and b an authorised person may, as they see fit, arrange for the load or object— i to be immediately washed, cleaned, cleared away or removed; and ii thereafter disposed of or sold by or behalf of the undertaker. No apparatus in the new bridge or new bridge approaches without consent 48 Regardless of anything contained in any enactment, no person is to enter upon, break up or interfere with the new bridge or the new bridge approaches, or any part of them, for the purpose of placing or doing anything in or in relation to any sewer, drain, main, pipe, wire or other apparatus or executing any work except with the written consent of the undertaker and in accordance with such terms and conditions as the undertaker may determine, including as to payment, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and any disputes as to the withholding of consent or over terms and conditions to be subject to the arbitration provisions in article 67 (arbitration). Subsidiary works and operations in the river Yare 49 1 Subject to the provisions of this Order the undertaker may within the Order limits— a carry out and maintain works for the accommodation or convenience of vessels within the river Yare (including but not limited to berthing and mooring facilities, ladders, buoys, bollards, dolphins, fenders, rubbing strips and fender panels, fender units and pontoons) as may be necessary or convenient for the purposes of, or in connection with or in consequence of, the operation or maintenance of the authorised development; and b deepen, dredge, scour, cleanse, alter and improve the bed of the river Yare for the purposes of maintaining the authorised development. 2 Except in the case of emergency, before exercising the powers of paragraph (1), the undertaker must use reasonable endeavours to notify the owner of any mooring and the owner or master of any vessel that may be affected by works undertaken in the exercise of the powers under this article. 3 The undertaker must pay compensation to any person entitled to compensation under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act who suffers any loss or damage from the exercise of the powers conferred by paragraph (1). 4 Any dispute as to a person's entitlement to compensation under paragraph (3) or as to the amount of the compensation must be determined under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. 5 All materials dredged up or removed by the undertaker in exercise of the powers of this article are the property of the undertaker and may be used, sold, deposited or otherwise disposed of by the undertaker. 6 The powers conferred by this article must not be exercised without the agreement of the GYPA, which must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed but which may be given subject to reasonable conditions. Protection against dredging 50 1 No person is to dredge within the area shown hatched yellow on the limits of dredging plan. 2 No person is to dredge within the area shown hatched blue on the limits of dredging plan without the prior consent of the undertaker, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

Fixed penalty notices 52 1 This article applies where it appears to an authorised person that a person has committed an offence under byelaws made under paragraph (1) of article 51 (byelaws) or vessel byelaws. 2 The authorised person may serve on that person a fixed penalty notice in respect of the offence. 3 Where a person is given a fixed penalty notice under this article in respect of an offence— a no proceedings may be instituted for that offence before the expiration of 14 days after the date of the notice; and b that person may not be convicted of the offence if the fixed penalty is paid before the expiration of 14 days after the date of the notice. 4 A fixed penalty notice must state— a the amount of the fixed penalty; b particulars of the circumstances alleged to constitute the offence as are necessary for giving reasonable information about the offence; c the time by which and the manner in which the fixed penalty must be paid, including any telephone number to be used for payments by credit or debit card and details of any electronic payment facility; and d that proceedings may be instituted if payment is not made within the time specified in the fixed penalty notice. 5 The amount of the fixed penalty is— a one fifth of the maximum amount of the fine to which the person to whom the fixed penalty notice is issued would be liable on summary conviction provided that person pays the fixed penalty in full within 7 days of issue of the fixed penalty notice; or b one half of the maximum amount of the fine to which the person to whom the fixed penalty notice is issued would be liable on summary conviction. 6 An authorised person may require a person to whom this article applies to pay a deposit of one tenth of the maximum amount of the fine to which a person may be liable under level 3 on the standard scale on accepting a fixed penalty notice if that person fails to provide, when requested, evidence of a residential address in the United Kingdom. 7 Payment of the deposit must be made— a in person to the authorised person by cash, credit card, debit card or other means by which the undertaker accepts payments, if the authorised person has the necessary means to accept payment in that manner; b by telephone by credit card, debit card or other means by which the undertaker accepts payments by telephone to the number stipulated in the fixed penalty notice for making payments; or c by an electronic payment facility. 8 The undertaker must apply the deposit towards payment of the fixed penalty. 9 In any proceedings a certificate which— a purports to be signed on behalf an officer of the undertaker appointed under section 151 (financial administration) of the Local Government Act 1972; and b states that payment of a fixed penalty was or was not received by a date specified in the certificate, is evidence of the facts stated. 10 In this article— “ app ” means a software application for use on an electronic device which— enables payments to be made by credit card, debit card or other means by which the undertaker accepts electronic payments; and which is provided to the public by the undertaker for that purpose; “ credit card ” means a card or similar thing issued to any person, use of which enables the holder to defer payment by the holder of a sum due under this article; “ debit card ” means a card or similar thing issued by any person, use of which enables the holder to cause a sum due under this article to be paid by the electronic transfer of funds from any account of the holder at a bank or other institution providing banking facilities; “ electronic payment facility ” means an app, an internet payment facility and any other means by which the undertaker accepts payments due under this article by electronic means; “ fixed penalty notice ” means a notice offering the opportunity of the discharge of liability to conviction of an offence under byelaws made under article 51(1) or vessel byelaws; “ internet payment facility ” means a facility provided by a website maintained by the undertaker or on its behalf which enables payments to be made by credit card, debit card or other means by which the undertaker accepts electronic payments; and “ vessel byelaws ” has the meaning assigned to it by article 51(15). PART 7 MISCELLANEOUS AND GENERAL Felling or lopping of trees 53 1 The undertaker may fell or lop any tree or shrub near, within or overhanging any part of the authorised development, or cut back its roots, if the undertaker reasonably believes it to be necessary to do so to prevent the tree or shrub— a from obstructing or interfering with the construction, operation or maintenance of the authorised development or any apparatus used in connection with the authorised development; or b from constituting a danger to other 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 or shrub 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, is to be determined under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act. Trees subject to tree preservation order or within conservation area 54 1 The undertaker may fell or lop any tree described in columns (1) and (2) of Schedule 12 (trees subject to tree preservation orders and within conservation areas), cut back its roots or undertake such other works described in column (3) of that Schedule, if it reasonably believes it to be necessary to do so to prevent the tree— 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 and must pay compensation to any person for any loss or damage arising from such activity. 3 Where works to a tree are authorised by paragraph (1) and a tree preservation order is in force in relation to that tree— a written consent for the works is deemed to have been granted by a local planning authority having functions under the order; b the duty imposed by section 206(1) (replacement of trees) of the 1990 Act does not apply; and c for the purposes of section 9 (requirement of licence for felling) of the Forestry Act 1967 , any felling comprised in the works is deemed to be immediately required for the purpose of carrying out development authorised by planning permission granted under the 1990 Act. 4 Any dispute as to a person's entitlement to compensation under paragraph (2), or as to the amount of compensation, is to be determined under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. Removal of human remains 55 1 In this article “ the specified land ” means any land within the Order limits. 2 Before the undertaker carries out any development or works which will or may disturb any human remains in the specified land it must remove those human remains from the specified land, or cause them to be removed, in accordance with the following provisions of this article. 3 Subject to paragraph (12), before any such remains are removed from the specified land the undertaker must give notice of the intended removal, describing the specified land and stating the general effect of the following provisions of this article, by— a publishing a notice once in each of 2 successive weeks in a newspaper circulating in the area of the specified land; and b displaying a notice in a conspicuous place at or near to the location of the human remains. 4 As soon as reasonably practicable after the first publication of a notice under paragraph (3), the undertaker must send a copy of the notice to Great Yarmouth Borough Council. 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 undertaker of that person's intention to undertake the removal of the remains. 6 Where a person has given notice under paragraph (5), and the remains in question can be identified, that person may cause such remains to be— a removed and re-interred in any burial ground or cemetery in which burials may legally take place; or b removed to, and cremated in, any crematorium, and that person must, as soon as reasonably practicable after such re-interment or cremation, provide to the undertaker a certificate for the purpose of enabling compliance with paragraph (11). 7 If the undertaker is not satisfied that any person giving notice under paragraph (5) is the personal representative or relative as that person claims to be, or that the remains in question can be identified, the question is to be determined on the application of either party in a summary manner by the county court, and the court may make an order specifying who is to remove the remains and as to the payment of the costs of the application. 8 The undertaker must pay the reasonable expenses of removing and re-interring or cremating the remains of any deceased person under this article. 9 If— a within the period of 56 days referred to in paragraph (5) no notice under that paragraph has been given to the undertaker in respect of any remains in the specified land; b such notice is given and no application is made under paragraph (7) within 56 days after the giving of the notice by the person who gave the notice fails to remove the remains within a further period of 56 days; c within 56 days after any order is made by the county court under paragraph (7) any person, other than the undertaker, 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 (10) the undertaker must remove the remains and cause them to be re-interred in such burial ground or cemetery in which burials may legally take place as the undertaker thinks suitable for the purpose and, so far as possible, remains from individual graves must be re-interred in individual containers which must be identifiable by a record prepared with reference to the original position of burial of the remains that they contain. 10 If the undertaker 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 that person does not remove the remains, the undertaker must comply with any reasonable request that person may make in relation to the removal and re-interment or cremation of the remains. 11 On the re-interment or cremation of any remains under this article— a a certificate of re-interment or cremation must be sent to the Registrar General by the undertaker giving the date of re-interment or cremation and identifying the place from which the remains were removed and the place in which they were re-interred or cremated; and b a copy of the certificate of re-interment or cremation and the record mentioned in paragraph (9) must be sent by the undertaker to Great Yarmouth Borough Council. 12 No notice is required under paragraph (3) before the removal of any human remains where the undertaker is satisfied— a that the remains were interred more than 100 years ago; and b that no relative or personal representative of the deceased is likely to object to the remains being removed in accordance with this article. 13 In the case of remains in relation to which paragraph (12) applies, the undertaker— a may remove the remains; b must apply for directions from the Secretary of State under paragraph (15) as to their subsequent treatment; and c must deal with the remains in such manner, and subject to such conditions, as the Secretary of State directs. 14 In this article— a references to a relative of the deceased are to a person who— i is a husband, wife, civil partner, parent, grandparent, child or grandchild of the deceased;

or ii is the lawful administrator of the estate of the deceased. 15 The removal of the remains of any deceased person under this article must be carried out in accordance with any directions which may be given by the Secretary of State. 16 Any jurisdiction or function conferred on the county court by this article may be exercised by the district judge of the court. 17 Section 25 (bodies not to be removed from burial grounds, save under faculty, without licence of Secretary of State) of the Burial Act 1857 is not to apply to a removal carried out in accordance with this article. 18 Section 239 (use and development of burial grounds) of the 1990 Act applies in relation to any land or right over land acquired for the purposes of the authorised development (whether or not by agreement) and to the temporary use of land under articles 35 (temporary use of land for constructing the authorised development) or 36 (temporary use of land for maintaining the authorised development), as if— a the reference to a relevant acquisition or appropriation in section 239(1) was a reference to acquisition for the purposes of the authorised development (whether or not by agreement) or temporary use under articles 35 or 36; b the reference in section 239(1)(b) to use by any person in any manner in accordance with planning permission was a reference to use by the undertaker in any manner in accordance with the provisions of this Order; and c the reference to prescribed requirements in section 239(2) was a reference to the requirements of paragraphs (2) to (16) of this article. 19 The Town and Country Planning (Churches, Places of Religious Worship and Burial Grounds) Regulations 1950 do not apply to the authorised development. Deemed marine licence 56 The undertaker is deemed to have been granted a marine licence under Part 4 (marine licensing) of the 2009 Act to carry out the licensable marine activities specified in Part 1 of Schedule 13 (deemed marine licence), subject to the conditions set out in Part 2 of that Schedule (which are deemed to have been attached to the licence under Part 4 of the 2009 Act).

Operational land for purposes of the 1990 Act 58 Development consent granted by this Order is to be treated as specific planning permission for the purposes of section 264(3)(a) (cases in which land is to be treated as not being operational land for the purposes of that Act) of the 1990 Act.
