The Viking CCS Carbon Dioxide Pipeline Order 2025

Made

9th April 2025

Coming into force

1st May 2025

An application has been made to the Secretary of State under section 37 of the Planning Act 2008(1 (\"#f00001\")) (“the 2008 Act”) in accordance with the Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedure) Regulations 2009(2 (\"#f00002\")) for an order granting development consent.

The application was examined by a panel of three members appointed by the Secretary of State as Examining Authority (“the Panel”) in accordance with Chapter 4 of Part 6 of the 2008 Act and the Infrastructure Planning (Examination Procedure) Rules 2010(3 (\"#f00003\")).

The Panel, having considered the representations made and not withdrawn and the application together with the accompanying documents, has, in accordance with section 74(2)(4 (\"#f00004\")) of the 2008 Act, submitted a report and recommendation to the Secretary of State.

The Secretary of State has considered the representations made and not withdrawn, and the report and recommendation of the Panel, has taken into account the environmental information in accordance with regulation 4 of the Infrastructure Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017(5 (\"#f00005\")), and has had regard to the documents and matters referred to in section 105(2)(6 (\"#f00006\")) of the 2008 Act.

The Secretary of State is satisfied that common land and open space within the Order land, when burdened with any new rights authorised for compulsory acquisition under the terms of this Order, will be no less advantageous than it was before such acquisition, to the persons in whom it is vested, other persons, if any, entitled to rights of common or other rights, and the public, and that, accordingly, section 132(3) of the 2008 Act applies.

The Secretary of State is satisfied that common land within the Order land does not exceed 200 square metres in extent and the giving of other land in exchange for the order right is unnecessary, whether in the interests of the persons, if any, entitled to rights of common or other rights or in the interests of the public, and that, accordingly, section 132(5) of the 2008 Act applies.

The Secretary of State, having decided the application, has determined to make an Order granting development consent for the development described in the application with modifications which in the opinion of the Secretary of State do not make any substantial changes to the proposals comprised in the application.

The Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 114(7 (\"#f00007\")), 115(8 (\"#f00008\")), 117(9 (\"#f00009\")), 120(10 (\"#f00010\")), 122(11 (\"#f00011\")), 123(12 (\"#f00012\")) and 132(13 (\"#f00013\")) of the 2008 Act, makes the following Order—

28.—(1) On an appeal under paragraph 27, the appointed person may—

(a)allow or dismiss the appeal; or

(3) The appointed person may proceed to a decision even though no written representations have been made within those time limits if it appears to the appointed person that there is sufficient material to enable a decision to be made on the merits of the case.

(4) The decision of the appointed person on an appeal is final and binding on the parties, and a court may entertain proceedings for questioning the decision only if the proceedings are brought by a claim for judicial review within six weeks of the date of the appointed person’s decision.

(6) The discharging authority may confirm any determination given by the appointed person in identical form in writing but a failure to give such confirmation (or a failure to give it in identical form) does not affect or invalidate the effect of the appointed person’s determination.

(7) Except where a direction is given pursuant to sub-paragraph (8) requiring the costs of the appointed person to be paid by the discharging authority, the reasonable costs of the appointed person must be met by the undertaker.

(8) On application by the discharging authority or the undertaker, the appointed person may give directions as to the costs of the appeal parties and as to the parties by whom the costs of the appeal are to be paid. In considering whether to make any such direction as to the costs of the appeal parties and the terms on which it is made, the appointed person must have regard to the Planning Practice Guidance: Appeals (March 2014) or any circular or guidance which may from time to time replace it.

Application of Part 1 of the 1965 ActE+W

4.—(1) Part 1 (compulsory purchase under Acquisition of Land Act of 1946) of the 1965 Act, as applied by section 125 (application of compulsory acquisition provisions) of the 2008 Act (and modified by article 30 (modification of Part 1 of the 1965 Act)) to the acquisition of land under article 22 (compulsory acquisition of land), applies to the compulsory acquisition of a right by the creation of a new right, or to the imposition of a restrictive covenant under article 24 (compulsory acquisition of rights and restrictive covenants)—

(a)with the modifications specified in sub-paragraphs (2) to (9); and

(b)with such other modifications as may be necessary.

(2) The modifications referred to in sub-paragraph (1) are as follows.

(3) References in the 1965 Act to land are, in the appropriate contexts, to be read (according to the requirements of the particular context) as referring to, or as including references to—

(a)the right acquired or to be acquired, or the restriction imposed or to be imposed; or

(b)the land over which the right is or is to be exercisable, or the restriction is or is to be enforceable.

(4) For section 7 (measure of compensation in case of severance) of the 1965 Act substitute—

“7. In assessing the compensation to be paid by the acquiring authority under this Act, regard must be had not only to the extent (if any) to which the value of the land over which the right is to be acquired or the restrictive covenant is to be imposed is depreciated by the acquisition of the right or the imposition of the covenant but also to the damage (if any) to be sustained by the owner of the land by reason of its severance from other land of the owner, or injuriously affecting that other land by the exercise of the powers conferred by this or the special Act.”.

(5) The following provisions of the 1965 Act (which state the effect of a deed poll executed in various circumstances where there is no conveyance by persons with interests in the land), that is to say—

(a)section 9(4) (failure by owners to convey);

(b)paragraph 10(3) of Schedule 1 (owners under incapacity);

(c)paragraph 2(3) of Schedule 2 (absent and untraced owners); and

(d)paragraphs 2(3) and 7(2) of Schedule 4 (common land),

are modified so as to secure that, as against persons with interests in the land which are expressed to be overridden by the deed, the right which is to be compulsorily acquired or the restrictive covenant which is to be imposed is vested absolutely in the acquiring authority.

(6) Section 11 (powers of entry) of the 1965 Act is modified so as to secure that, where the acquiring authority has served notice to treat in respect of any right or restriction, as well as the notice of entry required by subsection (1) of that section (as it applies to a compulsory acquisition), it has power, exercisable in equivalent circumstances and subject to equivalent conditions, to enter for the purpose of exercising that right or enforcing that restrictive covenant; and sections 11A(48 (\"#f00048\")) (powers of entry: further notices of entry), 11B(49 (\"#f00049\")) (counter-notice requiring possession to be taken on specified date), 12 (unauthorised entry) and 13 (refusal to give possession to acquiring authority) of the 1965 Act are modified correspondingly.

(7) Section 20 (tenants at will, etc.) of the 1965 Act applies with the modifications necessary to secure that persons with such interests in land as are mentioned in that section are compensated in a manner corresponding to that in which they would be compensated on a compulsory acquisition under this Order of that land, but taking into account only the extent (if any) of such interference with such an interest as is actually caused, or likely to be caused, by the exercise of the right or the enforcement of the restrictive covenant in question.

(8) Section 22 (interests omitted from purchase) of the 1965 Act as modified by article 30(4) is also modified so as to enable the acquiring authority in circumstances corresponding to those referred to in that section, to continue to be entitled to exercise the right acquired, subject to compliance with that section as respects compensation.

(9) For Schedule 2A to the 1965 Act substitute—

Section 8

“SCHEDULE 2AE+WCounter-notice requiring purchase of land not in notice to treat

Introduction

(2) But see article 29 (acquisition of subsoil or airspace only) of the Viking CCS Carbon Dioxide Pipeline Order 2025 which excludes the acquisition of subsoil only from this Schedule.

(3) In this Schedule, “house” includes any park or garden belonging to a house.

Counter-notice requiring purchase of land

2. A person who is able to sell the house, building or factory (“the owner”) may serve a counter-notice requiring the acquiring authority to purchase the owner’s interest in the house, building or factory.

3. A counter-notice under paragraph 2 must be served within the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the notice to treat was served.

Response to counter-notice

4. On receiving a counter-notice, the acquiring authority must decide whether to—

(a)withdraw the notice to treat;

(b)accept the counter-notice; or

(c)refer the counter-notice to the Upper Tribunal.

5. The authority must serve notice of their decision on the owner within the period of 3 months beginning with the day on which the counter-notice is served (“the decision period”).

(2) There will be deducted from any sum payable under sub-paragraph (1) the value of any apparatus removed under the provisions of this Part of this Schedule and which is not re-used as part of the alternative apparatus, that value being calculated after removal.

(3) If in accordance with the provisions of this Part of this Schedule—

(a)apparatus of better type, of greater capacity or of greater dimensions is placed in substitution for existing apparatus of worse type, of smaller capacity or of smaller dimensions; 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 situated,

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 in accordance with paragraph 29 (arbitration) to be necessary, then, if such placing involves cost in the construction of works under this Part of this Schedule 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 sub-paragraph would be payable to National Grid by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) will be reduced by the amount of that excess save to the extent that it is not possible in the circumstances to obtain the existing type of apparatus at the same capacity and dimensions or place at the existing depth in which case full costs will be borne by the undertaker.

(4) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)—

(a)an extension of apparatus to a length greater than the length of existing apparatus will not be treated as a placing of apparatus of greater dimensions than those of the existing apparatus; and

Removal of apparatusE+W

134.—(1) If, in the exercise of the powers conferred by this Order, the undertaker acquires any interest in any land in which any apparatus is placed or requires that Anglian Water’s apparatus is relocated or diverted, that apparatus must not be removed under this Part of this Schedule, and any right of Anglian Water to maintain that apparatus in that land must not be extinguished, until—

(a)alternative apparatus has been constructed and is in operation to the reasonable satisfaction of Anglian Water in accordance with sub-paragraphs (2) to (8); and

(b)facilities and rights have been secured for that alternative apparatus in accordance with paragraph 135.

(2) If, for the purpose of executing any works in, on or under any land purchased, held, appropriated or used under this Order, the undertaker requires the removal of any apparatus placed in that land, the undertaker must give to Anglian Water 28 days’ written notice of that requirement, together with a plan of the work proposed, and of the proposed position of the alternative apparatus to be provided or constructed and in that case (or if in consequence of the exercise of any of the powers conferred by this Order an undertaker reasonably needs to remove any of its apparatus) the undertaker must, subject to sub-paragraph (3), afford to Anglian Water the necessary facilities and rights for the construction of alternative apparatus in other land of the undertaker and subsequently for the maintenance of that apparatus.

(3) If alternative apparatus or any part of such apparatus is to be constructed elsewhere than in other land of the undertaker, or the undertaker is unable to afford such facilities and rights as are mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) in the land in which the alternative apparatus or part of such apparatus is to be constructed Anglian Water must, on receipt of a written notice to that effect from the undertaker, as soon as reasonably possible use its best endeavours to obtain the necessary facilities and rights in the land in which the alternative apparatus is to be constructed.

(4) Any alternative apparatus to be constructed in land of the undertaker under this Part of this Schedule must be constructed in such manner and in such line or situation as may be agreed between Anglian Water and the undertaker or in default of agreement settled by arbitration in accordance with article 48 (arbitration).

(5) Anglian Water must, after the alternative apparatus to be provided or constructed has been agreed or settled by arbitration in accordance with [F11 (\"#commentary-key-e7f15d27d724c25304aa799b1e94ef0e\")article 48 (arbitration)], and after the grant to Anglian Water of any such facilities and rights as are referred to in sub-paragraphs (2) or (3), proceed without unnecessary delay to construct and bring into operation the alternative apparatus and subsequently to remove any apparatus required by the undertaker to be removed under the provisions of this Part of this Schedule.

(6) Regardless of anything in sub-paragraph (5), if Anglian Water gives notice in writing to the undertaker that it desires the undertaker to execute any work, or part of any work in connection with the construction or removal of apparatus in any land of the undertaker or to the extent that Anglian Water fails to proceed with that work in accordance with sub-paragraph (5) or the undertaker and Anglian Water otherwise agree, that work, instead of being executed by Anglian Water, must be executed by the undertaker without unnecessary delay under the superintendence, if given, and to the reasonable satisfaction of Anglian Water.

Retained apparatusE+W

136.—(1) Not less than 28 days before starting the execution of any works in, on or under any land purchased, held, appropriated or used under this Order that are near to, or will or may affect, any apparatus (or any means of access to it) the removal of which has not been required by the undertaker under paragraph 134(2), the undertaker must submit to Anglian Water a plan of the works to be executed.

(2) Those works must be executed only in accordance with the plan submitted under sub-paragraph (1) and in accordance with such reasonable requirements as may be made in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) by Anglian Water for the alteration or otherwise for the protection of the apparatus, or for securing access to it, and Anglian Water is entitled to watch and inspect the execution of those works.

(3) Any requirements made by Anglian Water under sub-paragraph (2) must be made within a period of 21 days beginning with the date on which a plan under sub-paragraph (1) is submitted to it.

(4) If Anglian Water in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) and in consequence of the works proposed by the undertaker, reasonably requires the removal of any apparatus and gives written notice to the undertaker of that requirement, paragraphs 128 to 130 and 166 to 136 apply as if the removal of the apparatus had been required by the undertaker under paragraph 134(2).

(5) Nothing in this paragraph precludes the undertaker from submitting at any time or from time to time, but in no case less than 28 days before commencing the execution of any works, a new plan instead of the plan previously submitted, and having done so the provisions of this paragraph apply to and in respect of the new plan.

(6) The undertaker is not required to comply with sub-paragraph (1) in a case of emergency but in that case must give to Anglian Water notice as soon as is reasonably practicable and a plan of those works as soon as reasonably practicable subsequently and must comply with sub-paragraph (3) in so far as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances, using its best endeavours to keep the impact of those emergency works on Anglian Water’s apparatus, on the operation of its water and sewerage network and on end-users of the services Anglian Water provides to a minimum.

(7) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) and without prejudice to the generality of the principles set out in that sub-paragraph, works are deemed to be in land near Anglian Water’s apparatus (where it is a pipe) if those works fall within the following distances measured from the medial line of such apparatus—

(a)4 metres where the diameter of the pipe is less than 250 millimetres;

(b)5 metres where the diameter of the pipe is between 250 and 400 millimetres; and

(c)a distance to be agreed on a case by case basis and before the submission of the plan submitted under sub-paragraph (1) (but which distance, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not exceed 7 metres) where the diameter of the pipe exceeds 400 millimetres.

(2) There must be deducted from any sum payable under sub-paragraph (1) the value of any apparatus removed under the provisions of this Part of this Schedule that value being calculated after removal.

(3) If in accordance with the provisions of this Part of this Schedule—

(a)apparatus of better type, of greater capacity or of greater dimensions is placed in substitution for existing apparatus of worse type, of smaller capacity or of smaller dimensions; 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 situated, 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 in accordance with article 48 (arbitration) to be necessary, then, if such placing involves cost in the construction of works under this Part of this Schedule 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 sub-paragraph would be payable to Anglian Water by virtue of subparagraph (1) must be reduced by the amount of that excess.

(4) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)—

(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 pipe or cable is agreed, or is determined to be necessary, the consequential provision of a jointing chamber or of a manhole is to be treated as if it also had been agreed or had been so determined.

(5) An amount which apart from this sub-paragraph would be payable to Anglian Water in respect of works by virtue of sub-paragraph (1), 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 Anglian Water any financial benefit by deferment of the time for renewal of the apparatus in the ordinary course, is to be reduced by the amount which represents that benefit.

(2) The fact that any act or thing may have been done by Anglian Water on behalf of the undertaker or in accordance with a plan approved by Anglian Water or in accordance with any requirement of Anglian Water or under its supervision does not, subject to sub-paragraph (4), excuse the undertaker from liability under the provisions of sub-paragraph (1) unless Anglian Water fails to carry out and execute the works properly with due care and attention and in a skilful and professional like manner or in a manner that does not accord with the approved plan.

(3) Anglian Water must use its reasonable endeavours to mitigate in whole or in part and to minimise any costs, expenses, loss, demands, penalties and costs to which the provisions of this Part of this Schedule apply.

Retained apparatusE+W

202.—(1) Not less than 56 days before the commencement of the execution of any specified works the undertaker must submit to Uniper at the address stated in paragraph 210, a plan in respect of those works.

(2) The plan to be submitted to Uniper under sub-paragraph (1) must include all comprehensive risk assessments (including any quantitative risk assessments) and any method statement describing—

(a)the exact position of the works;

(b)the level at which these are proposed to be constructed or renewed;

(c)the manner of their construction or renewal including details of excavation, positioning of plant etc;

(d)the position of all apparatus;

(e)by way of detailed drawings, every alteration proposed to be made to or close to any such apparatus;

(f)any changes to the land drainage systems, temporary crossing designs, traffic management plans, health and safety management plans, emergency response plans, planned changes or rerouting of any assets and their corresponding design codes, earth schedules and earthing risk assessments;

(g)any recommendations or mitigation measures to avoid interference with, or loss or damage to the apparatus (including damage caused by passing over the apparatus by heavy construction machinery) and related remedies should such mitigation measures fail;

(h)any intended maintenance regimes; and

(i)a programme of the works, including any proposed start dates and the anticipated duration of the works.

(3) The undertaker must not commence any works to which sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) apply until Uniper has given written approval of the plan so submitted and the undertaker and Uniper have used reasonable endeavours to carry out a joint site walk in the period 4 weeks before commencement of the works. The fact that any work or thing has been executed or done by the undertaker in accordance with a plan approved or deemed to be approved by Uniper, or to its satisfaction, or in accordance with any directions or award of an arbitrator, does not relieve the undertaker from any liability under this Part of this Schedule.

(4) Any approval of Uniper required under sub-paragraph (3)—

(a)may be given subject to reasonable conditions for any purpose mentioned in sub-paragraphs (5) or (8); and

(b)must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(5) In relation to any work to which sub-paragraphs (1) or (2) apply, the undertaker must provide any additional information or documentation as reasonably requested by Uniper and Uniper may require modifications to be made to the plans as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of securing its apparatus against interference or risk of damage or for the purpose of providing or securing proper and convenient means of access to any apparatus.

(6) Works to which this paragraph applies must only be executed in accordance with the plan, submitted under sub-paragraph (1) or as relevant sub-paragraph (4) and (5), as approved or as amended from time to time by agreement between the undertaker and Uniper and in accordance with all conditions imposed under sub-paragraph (4)(a) by Uniper for the alteration or otherwise for the protection of the apparatus, or for securing access to it, and Uniper (or its representative) is entitled to attend any meetings related to the specified works and watch, monitor and inspect the execution of those works.

(7) If, during the carrying out of the authorised development, any aspect of it poses a risk of interference with or loss or damage to the apparatus, the undertaker must immediately notify Uniper, in writing, and submit a revised plan in respect of the affected works to Uniper for approval, and the provisions of this paragraph 202 (retained apparatus) will apply to, and in respect of, the revised plan. If Uniper (or its representative) identifies a potential risk of interference with or loss or damage to the apparatus while watching, monitoring or inspecting the execution of the specified works, then Uniper (or its representative) may request suspension of such works. The undertaker must then submit a revised plan in respect of the affected works to Uniper for approval, and the provisions of this paragraph 202 (retained apparatus) will apply to, and in respect of, the revised plan. Uniper’s (or its representative’s) failure or delay in exercising this right, or the undertaker’s failure to suspend the specified works upon request by Uniper (or its representative), will not relieve the undertaker of its responsibility for any interference with, loss of, or damage to the apparatus.

(8) Where Uniper requires any protective works to be carried out by itself or by the undertaker (whether of a temporary or permanent nature) such protective works, inclusive of any measures or schemes required and approved as part of the plan approved pursuant to this paragraph, must be carried out to Uniper’s satisfaction (acting reasonably).

(9) Nothing in this paragraph precludes the undertaker from submitting at any time or from time to time, but in no case less than 56 days before commencing the execution of the specified works, a new plan, instead of the plan previously submitted, and having done so the provisions of this paragraph will apply to and in respect of the new plan.

(10) The undertaker is not required to comply with sub-paragraph (1) where it needs to carry out emergency works, provided that—

(a)in respect of danger to persons it must give to Uniper notice as soon as is reasonably practicable by calling Uniper’s emergency telephone line on xx-xxxx-xxxx or such other telephone number notified by Uniper to the undertaker in writing; and

(b)in respect of danger to property it must notify Uniper in accordance with sub-paragraph (a) above, before any emergency works are commenced by or on behalf of the undertaker, and, in each case, as soon as is reasonably practicable give to Uniper a plan of those works and must—

(i)comply with sub-paragraphs (5), (6), (7) and (8) insofar as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances; and

(ii)comply with sub-paragraph (11) at all times.

(11) At all times when carrying out any works authorised under the Order the undertaker must comply with, and use reasonable endeavours to procure compliance by any party acting on its behalf with, all applicable law and good industry practice. The undertaker must procure that any party carrying out any works on the land on its behalf has knowledge of the apparatus, its location (including as illustrated by a site map) and procure that the obligations contained in this Part of this Schedule are adhered to by such parties working on the land on its behalf.

(12) The undertaker must prepare, and keep up-to-date, a complete set of red-lined “as-built” records of the execution of the specified works, showing the exact as-built locations, sizes and details of such works as executed. The undertaker must submit to Uniper, no later than twenty (20) business days after the completion of the specified works, all “as-built” records. Uniper may specify the number of copies of any “as built” records acting reasonably.

Removal or replacement of apparatusE+W

203.—(1) The undertaker is not permitted to remove, move or replace any apparatus in land without the prior written consent of Uniper (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(2) If, in the exercise of the powers conferred by the Order, the undertaker has exercised its compulsory purchase powers to acquire any interest in or possesses temporarily any Order land in which any apparatus is placed and has the power to move, replace or remove that apparatus, it must not do so under this Part of this Schedule and any right of Uniper to maintain that apparatus in that land must not be extinguished until alternative apparatus has been constructed, and is in operation to the reasonable satisfaction of Uniper in accordance with sub-paragraphs (3) to (6) inclusive.

(3) If, for the purpose of executing any specified works in, on, under or over any land held, appropriated or used under this Order pursuant to exercising its compulsory purchase powers the undertaker requires the replacement or removal of any apparatus placed in that land it must give to Uniper no less than 56 days’ advance written notice of that requirement, together with a plan of the work proposed, and where applicable, the proposed replacement apparatus or the position of any alternative apparatus to be provided or constructed and in that case provided that where—

(a)the undertaker requires the replacement of any apparatus placed in that land, it must be replaced with identical apparatus, provided that if identical apparatus is not available, it must be either—

(i)replaced with apparatus on a similar or equivalent basis (i.e. like-for-like basis); or

(ii)where it cannot be replaced on a similar or equivalent basis, then it must be replaced with enhanced apparatus. For the avoidance of doubt, no apparatus may be replaced with anything less advanced than the apparatus being replaced;

(b)the undertaker requires the removal of any apparatus placed in that land (or if in consequence of the exercise of any of the powers conferred by this Order Uniper reasonably needs to remove any of its apparatus) the undertaker must, subject to sub-paragraph (4), secure any necessary consents for the alternative apparatus and afford to Uniper to its satisfaction the necessary facilities and rights for the construction of alternative apparatus in other land of or land secured by the undertaker and subsequently for the maintenance of that apparatus, and prior to any removal or any replacement of the apparatus pursuant to this paragraph 203, the parties must agree the value attributable to such apparatus or alternative apparatus, prior to any replacement or removal. If such value cannot be agreed between the parties, such value will be determined in accordance with paragraph 209 (arbitration).

(4) If alternative apparatus or any part of such apparatus is to be constructed elsewhere other than in land of or land secured by the undertaker, or the undertaker is unable to afford such facilities and rights as are mentioned in sub-paragraph (3), in the land in which the alternative apparatus or part of such apparatus is to be constructed, the undertaker must take all steps required in the circumstances to assist Uniper to obtain the necessary facilities and rights in the land in which the alternative apparatus is to be constructed.

(5) Any alternative apparatus to be constructed in land of or land secured by the undertaker under this Part of this Schedule must be constructed in such manner and in such line or situation as may be agreed between the undertaker and Uniper.

(6) Uniper must, after the alternative apparatus to be provided or constructed has been agreed, and subject to a written agreement having been entered into between the parties and the grant to Uniper of any such facilities and rights as are referred to in sub-paragraph (3) or (4), proceed without unnecessary delay to construct and bring into operation the alternative apparatus and subsequently to remove any apparatus required by the undertaker to be removed under the provisions of this Part of this Schedule.

(2) For the purposes of calculating the sums payable pursuant to sub-paragraph (1) above, in the case of the replacement or removal of apparatus, the following applies—

(a)where apparatus is removed under the provisions of this Part of this Schedule and which will not be re-used as part of the apparatus or alternative apparatus, there will be excluded from any sum payable under sub-paragraph (1) the value of the apparatus being removed; and

(b)subject to sub-paragraph 203(3)(a), when replacing existing apparatus, there will be deducted from any sum payable under sub-paragraph (1) the value of that apparatus being removed under the provisions of this Part of this Schedule and which is not re-used as part of the apparatus or alternative apparatus, except that the value of any apparatus or alternative apparatus used to replace the apparatus being removed will be included in the sum payable under sub-paragraph (1), such value being agreed between the parties (or as determined in accordance with paragraph 209 (arbitration) prior to any removal or replacement of the apparatus, provided that, in each case, all charges, costs and expenses reasonably incurred, or reasonably anticipated to be incurred, by Uniper in, or in connection with the works required for the removal or replacement of such apparatus will be included in the sum payable under sub-paragraph (1).

(3) If, in accordance with sub-paragraph 204(2) of this Part of this Schedule, any existing apparatus is replaced with enhanced apparatus where the undertaker’s consent has not been obtained by Uniper (or where disputed in accordance with paragraph 209 (arbitration), decided not to be necessary), then, if the construction expenses for this replacement surpass the construction expenses that would have been paid for similar or equivalent apparatus then any excess costs will be borne by Uniper, except where it is not possible to obtain similar or equivalent apparatus, full costs will be payable by the undertaker.

(4) Any amount which is payable to Uniper in respect of works by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) will, 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 Uniper 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.

(b)any indirect or consequential loss of any third party (including but not limited to loss of use, revenue, profit, contract, production, increased cost of working or business interruption) arising from any such damage or interruption which is not reasonably foreseeable.

(3) Uniper must give the undertaker reasonable notice of an Indemnity Claim and no settlement or compromise is to be made that is prejudicial to the undertaker without the consent of the undertaker (not to be unreasonably withheld) which, if it withholds such consent, it will assume the sole conduct of the Indemnity Claim, provided that if the undertaker does not assume the sole conduct of the Indemnity Claim within 30 days of the Indemnified Claim being notified to it, Uniper, or a person designated by Uniper, may conduct the Indemnity Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate and the undertaker will indemnify Uniper for any costs and expenses incurred in connection with defending any such Indemnity Claim.

(4) The undertaker must assist Uniper, as requested, in connection with an Indemnity Claim (including circumstances where Uniper reasonably believes may give rise to an action, claim or demand by a third party).

(7) In the event that the undertaker fails to comply with sub-paragraph (4) nothing in this Part of this Schedule will prevent Uniper from seeking injunctive relief (or any other equitable remedy) in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(8) Uniper must use its reasonable endeavours to mitigate and to minimise any costs, expenses, loss, demands, and penalties to which the indemnity under this paragraph applies where it is within Uniper’s reasonable ability and control to do so and which expressly excludes any obligation to mitigate liability arising from third parties which is outside of Uniper’s control and if reasonably requested to do so by the undertaker Uniper must provide an explanation of how the claim has been minimised, where relevant.

(6) There will be no process of examination and cross-examination of experts, but the arbitrator will invite the parties to ask questions of the experts by way of clarification of any answers given by the expert(s) in response to the arbitrator’s questions. Prior to the hearing the procedure for the expert(s) will be that—

(a)at least 20 days before a hearing, the arbitrator will provide a list of issues to be addressed by the expert(s);

(b)if more than one expert is called, they will jointly confer and produce a joint report or reports within 10 days of the issues being provided; and

(c)the form and content of a joint report will be as directed by the arbitrator and must be provided at least five days before the hearing.

(7) Within 10 days of a hearing or a decision by the arbitrator that no hearing is to be held the parties may by way of exchange provide the arbitrator with a final submission in connection with the matters in dispute and any submissions on costs. The arbitrator will take these submissions into account in the award.

(8) The arbitrator may make other directions or rulings as considered appropriate in order to ensure that the parties comply with the timetable and procedures to achieve an award on the substantive difference within four months of the date on which they are appointed, unless both parties otherwise agree to an extension to the date for the award.

(9) If a party fails to comply with the timetable, procedure or any other direction then the arbitrator may continue in the absence of a party or submission or document, and may make a decision on the information before them attaching the appropriate weight to any evidence submitted beyond any timetable or in breach of any procedure and/or direction.

(10) The arbitrator’s award must include reasons. The parties will accept that the extent to which reasons are given is to be proportionate to the issues in dispute and the time available to the arbitrator to deliver the award.
