Acquisition of part of certain propertiesE+W+S

35.—(1) This article applies where—

(a)a notice to treat is served on a person (“the owner”) under the 1965 Act (as so applied) in respect of land forming only part of a house, building or manufactory or of land consisting of a house with a park or garden (“the land subject to the notice to treat”); and

(b)a copy of this article is served on the owner with the notice to treat.

(2) In such a case, the owner may, within the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the notice was served, serve on the undertaker a counter-notice objecting to the sale of the land subject to the notice to treat which states that the owner is willing and able to sell the whole (“the land subject to the counter-notice”).

(3) If no such counter-notice is served within that period, the owner is required to sell the land subject to the notice to treat.

(4) If such a counter-notice is served within that period, the question whether the owner is required to sell only the land subject to the notice to treat must, unless the undertaker agrees to take the land subject to the counter-notice, be referred to the Upper Tribunal.

(5) If on such a reference the Upper Tribunal determines that the land subject to the notice to treat can be taken—

(a)without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice; or

(b)where the land subject to the notice to treat consists of a house with a park or garden, without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice and without seriously affecting the amenity and convenience of the house,

(6) If on such a reference the Tribunal determines that only part of the land subject to the notice to treat can be taken—

(a)without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice; or

(b)where the land subject to the notice to treat consists of a house with a park or garden, without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice and without seriously affecting the amenity and convenience of the house,

the notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for that part.

(7) If on such a reference the Upper Tribunal determines that—

(a)the land subject to the notice to treat cannot be taken without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice; but

(b)the material detriment is confined to a part of the land subject to the counter-notice,

the notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for the land to which the material detriment is confined in addition to the land already subject to the notice, whether or not the additional land is land which the undertaker is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order.

(8) If the undertaker agrees to take the land subject to the counter-notice, or if the Upper Tribunal determines that—

(a)none of the land subject to the notice to treat can be taken without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice or, as the case may be, without material detriment to the remainder of the land subject to the counter-notice and without seriously affecting the amenity and convenience of the house; and

(b)the material detriment is not confined to a part of the land subject to the counter-notice,

the notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for the land subject to the counter-notice whether or not the whole of that land is land which the undertaker is authorised to acquire compulsorily under this Order.

(9) Where by reason of a determination by the Upper Tribunal under this article a notice to treat is deemed to be a notice to treat for less land or more land than that specified in the notice, the undertaker may, within the period of six weeks beginning with the day on which the determination is made, withdraw the notice to treat; and, in that event, must pay the owner compensation for any loss or expense occasioned to the owner by the giving and withdrawal of the notice, to be determined in case of dispute by the Upper Tribunal.

(10) Where the owner is required under this article to sell only part of a house, building or manufactory or of land consisting of a house with a park or garden, the undertaker must pay the owner compensation for any loss sustained by the owner due to the severance of that part in addition to the value of the interest acquired.

Piling and marine construction worksE+W+S

16.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2) (\"#schedule-3-paragraph-16-2\") below, the piling of marine piles in connection with the authorised development must be subject to the following conditions—

(a)there must be at least a 20 minutes “soft start” period at the commencement of any piling; and

(b)The form of soft start must be agreed with the MMO following consultation with Natural England on matters related to its functions prior to the commencement of piling.

(2) An active and mobile 500 metre marine mammals observation zone, the centre point of which will be the location of the particular marine pile being driven percussively, must be created, and 30 minutes prior to the commencement of percussive piling a search should be undertaken of the zone, with the purpose of identifying whether any marine mammals enter the zone, and if such mammals are observed within the zone, percussive piling should not be commenced until the mammals have cleared the zone or until 20 minutes after the last visual detection, subject to sub-paragraph (4) (\"#schedule-3-paragraph-16-4\").

(3) An active and mobile 500 metre marine mammals observation zone, the centre point of which will be the location of the particular marine pile being driven percussively, must be maintained during percussive piling with the purpose of identifying whether any marine mammals enter the zone and if such mammals are observed, percussive piling will cease until the mammals have cleared the zone and there is no further detection after 20 minutes.

(4) Where during operations percussive piling is paused for any reason other than the detection of marine mammals, then recommencing of the percussive piling must be subject to the provisions of sub-paragraph (2) (\"#schedule-3-paragraph-16-2\") save for where the active and mobile 500 metre marine mammals observation zone has been observed throughout the period of the pause in operations and no such mammals were observed entering the zone, in which case percussive piling may be recommenced immediately.

(5) Wherever possible the undertaker will use vibro-piling methodology whilst it is recognised that percussive piling may be required to drive the piles to their ultimately required depth.

(6) Subject to sub-paragraph (7) (\"#schedule-3-paragraph-16-7\") below, the undertaker must ensure that no construction activity for the approach jetty or decommissioning of topsides located within 200 metres of mean low water springs takes place between 1 October and 31 March inclusive in any year.

(a)percussive piling of marine piles undertaken on exposed mudflat outside the water column at periods of low water;

(b)emergency works; and

(c)percussive piling operations that have been initiated where an immediate cessation of the activity would form an unsafe working practice.

(11) Percussive piling of marine piles is to be restricted at other times—

(a)subject to sub-paragraph (18) (\"#schedule-3-paragraph-16-18\"), from 1 June to 30 June (inclusive) in any one calendar year the maximum amount of percussive piling permitted within any 24 hour period must not exceed 270 minutes;

(b)subject to sub-paragraph (18) (\"#schedule-3-paragraph-16-18\"), from 1 August to 31 October (inclusive) in any one calendar year, the maximum amount of percussive piling permitted within any 24 hour period must not exceed 270 minutes,

except (in each case) for any percussive piling of marine piles undertaken on exposed mudflat outside the water column at periods of low water and save for percussive piling operations that have been initiated where an immediate cessation of the activity would form an unsafe working practice.

(12) The measurement of time during each work-block described in sub-paragraph (11) (\"#schedule-3-paragraph-16-11\") of this Schedule must begin at the start of each timeframe, roll throughout it, then cease at the end, where measurement will begin again at the start of the next timeframe, such process to be repeated until the end of piling works.

(13) Percussive piling must only be carried out in accordance with the cold weather piling restriction strategy.

(14) A noise suppression system consisting of a piling sleeve with noise insulating properties must be employed for percussive piling on the approach jetty comprised in the authorised development.

(15) The undertaker must submit weekly reports to the MMO of the duration of percussive piling that is undertaken on any given day on which piling takes place during the construction of the authorised development, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the MMO.

(16) The reports submitted to the MMO pursuant to sub-paragraph (15) (\"#schedule-3-paragraph-16-15\") must include a log of the number and approximate location of piling rigs which are in operation on any given day, along with the number of piles driven.

(17) The undertaker must hold fortnightly meetings with the MMO to discuss the weekly reports submitted pursuant to sub-paragraph (15) (\"#schedule-3-paragraph-16-15\") and agree any corrective action if required, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the MMO.

(18) Where percussive piling is paused the recommencement of such percussive piling may take place for a contingency period of up to a total of 60 minutes within any 24 hour period in addition to the otherwise maximum amount of percussive piling permitted within any 24 hour period specified in sub–paragraph (11) (\"#schedule-3-paragraph-16-11\").

Application of the 1965 ActE+W+S

4.—(1) The 1965 Act has effect with the modifications necessary to make it apply to the compulsory acquisition under this Order of a right by the creation of a new right, or to the imposition under this Order of a restrictive covenant, as it applies to the compulsory acquisition under this Order of land, so that, in appropriate contexts, references in that Act to land must 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 restrictive covenant imposed or to be imposed; or

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

(2) Without limitation on the scope of sub-paragraph (1) Part 1 of the 1965 Act applies in relation to the compulsory acquisition under this Order of a right by the creation of a new right or, in relation to the imposition of a restriction, with the modifications specified in the following provisions of this Schedule.

(b)for “the three year period mentioned in section 4” substitute “the five year period mentioned in article 23 of the Associated British Ports (Immingham Green Energy Terminal) Order 2025;

(5) For section 7 of the 1965 Act (measure of compensation) 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 restrictive 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.”.

(6) 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 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.

(7) Section 11(110 (\"#f00110\")) of the 1965 Act (powers of entry) is modified to secure that, as from the date on which the acquiring authority has served notice to treat in respect of any right or restrictive covenant, 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 (which is deemed for this purpose to have been created on the date of service of the notice); and sections 11A (powers of entry: further notices of entry)(111 (\"#f00111\")), 11B (counter-notice requiring possession to be taken on specified date)(112 (\"#f00112\")), 12(113 (\"#f00113\")) (penalty for unauthorised entry) and 13(114 (\"#f00114\")) (entry on warrant in the event of obstruction) of the 1965 Act are modified correspondingly.

(8) Section 20(115 (\"#f00115\")) of the 1965 Act (protection for interests of tenants at will, etc.) 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.

(9) Section 22 of the 1965 Act (interests omitted from purchase), as modified by article 30(4) (\"#article-30-4\") (modification of Part 1 of the 1965 Act), is modified 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 or to enforce the restrictive covenant imposed, subject to compliance with that section as respects compensation.

Determination by Upper TribunalE+W+S

10. On referral under paragraph 7, the Upper Tribunal must determine whether the acquisition of the right or the imposition of the restrictive covenant would—

(a)in the case of a house, building or factory, cause material detriment to the house, building or factory, or

(b)in the case of a park or garden, seriously affect the amenity or convenience of the house to which the park or garden belongs.

11. In making its determination, the Upper Tribunal must take into account—

(a)the effect of the acquisition of the right or the imposition of the covenant,

(b)the use to be made of the right or covenant proposed to be acquired or imposed, and

(c)if the right or covenant is proposed to be acquired or imposed for works or other purposes extending to other land, the effect of the whole of the works and the use of the other land.

12. If the Upper Tribunal determines that the acquisition of the right or the imposition of the covenant would have either of the consequences described in paragraph 10, it must determine how much of the house, building or factory the authority ought to be required to take.

13. If the Upper Tribunal determines that the authority ought to be required to take some or all of the house, building or factory, the compulsory purchase order and the notice to treat are to have effect as if they included the owner’s interest in that land.

14.—(1) If the Upper Tribunal determines that the authority ought to be required to take some or all of the house, building or factory, the authority may at any time within the period of six weeks beginning with the day on which the Upper Tribunal make its determination withdraw the notice to treat in relation to that land.

(2) If the acquiring authority withdraws the notice to treat under this paragraph they must pay the person on whom the notice was served compensation for any loss or expense caused by the giving and withdrawal of the notice.

(3) Any dispute as to the compensation is to be determined by the Upper Tribunal.”.

Removal of apparatusE+W+S

36.—(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 over which access to any apparatus is enjoyed or requires that Northern Powergrid’s apparatus is relocated or diverted, that apparatus must not be removed under this Part of this Schedule, and any right of Northern Powergrid to maintain that apparatus in that land and gain access to it must not be extinguished, until alternative apparatus has been constructed and is in operation, and access to it has been provided pursuant to a completed easement which must include rights to retain and subsequently maintain the apparatus being replaced or diverted and any access rights to it for the lifetime of that alternative apparatus all to the reasonable satisfaction of Northern Powergrid in accordance with sub-paragraphs (2) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-36-2\") to (5) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-36-5\").

(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 Northern Powergrid 42 days’ advance written notice of that requirement, together with a plan and section 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 Northern Powergrid reasonably needs to remove any of its apparatus) the undertaker must, subject to sub-paragraph (3) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-36-3\"), afford to Northern Powergrid 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) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-36-2\") in the land in which the alternative apparatus or part of such apparatus is to be constructed Northern Powergrid must, on receipt of a written notice to that effect from the undertaker, as soon as reasonably possible and at the cost of the undertaker (subject to prior approval by the undertaker of its estimate of costs of doing so) use reasonable endeavours to obtain the necessary facilities and rights in the land in which the alternative apparatus is to be constructed. For the avoidance of doubt this sub-paragraph only applies in relation to the voluntary acquisition of the other land or rights and does not include or require the use of Northern Powergrid’s compulsory purchase powers.

(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 Northern Powergrid and the undertaker or in default of agreement settled by arbitration in accordance with article 61 (\"#article-61\") (arbitration).

(5) Northern Powergrid must, after the alternative apparatus to be provided or constructed has been agreed or settled by arbitration in accordance with article 61 (\"#article-61\"), and after the grant to Northern Powergrid of any such facilities and rights as are referred to in sub-paragraphs (2) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-36-2\") or (3) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-36-3\"), 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.

Facilities and rights for alternative apparatusE+W+S

37.—(1) Where, in accordance with the provisions of this Part of this Schedule, the undertaker affords to Northern Powergrid facilities and rights for the construction and maintenance in land of the undertaker of alternative apparatus in substitution for apparatus to be removed, those facilities and rights are to be granted upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed between the undertaker and Northern Powergrid or in default of agreement settled by arbitration in accordance with article 61 (\"#article-61\") (arbitration).

(2) If the facilities and rights to be afforded by the undertaker in respect of any alternative apparatus, and the terms and conditions subject to which those facilities and rights are to be granted, are in the opinion of the arbitrator less favourable on the whole to Northern Powergrid than the facilities and rights enjoyed by it in respect of the apparatus to be removed and the terms and conditions to which those facilities and rights are subject, the arbitrator must make such provision for the payment of compensation by the undertaker to Northern Powergrid as appears to the arbitrator to be reasonable having regard to all the circumstances of the particular case.

38.—(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 (including conducting any activities whether intentionally or unintentionally, through for example ground or machinery collapse, which may affect Northern Powergrid’s apparatus or encroach on safety distances to live equipment), or will or may affect, any apparatus the removal of which has not been required by the undertaker under paragraph 36 (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-36\") (removal of apparatus), the undertaker must submit to Northern Powergrid a plan, section and description of the works to be executed.

(2) Those works must be executed only in accordance with the plan, section and description submitted under sub-paragraph (1) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-38-1\") and in accordance with such reasonable requirements as may be made in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-38-3\") by Northern Powergrid for the alteration or otherwise for the protection of the apparatus, or for securing access to it, and Northern Powergrid is entitled to watch and inspect the execution of those works.

(3) Any requirements made by Northern Powergrid under sub-paragraph (2) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-38-2\") must be made within a period of 42 days beginning with the date on which a plan, section and description under sub-paragraph (1) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-38-1\") is submitted to it.

(4) If Northern Powergrid in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-38-3\") 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, paragraph 36 (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-36\") (removal of apparatus) and 37 (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-37\") (facilities and rights for alternative apparatus) apply as if the removal of the apparatus had been required by the undertaker under paragraph 36 (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-36\").

(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, section and description instead of the plan, section and description 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) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-38-1\") in a case of emergency but in that case it must give to Northern Powergrid notice as soon as is reasonably practicable and a plan, section and description of those works as soon as reasonably practicable subsequently and must comply with sub-paragraph (2) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-38-2\") in so far as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances.

39.—(1) Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, the undertaker must repay to Northern Powergrid within 50 days of receipt of a valid VAT invoice all reasonable and proper expenses costs or charges incurred by Northern Powergrid—

(a)in, or in connection with, the inspection, removal, alteration or protection of any apparatus or the construction of any new apparatus which may be required in consequence of the execution of any such works as are referred to in paragraph 36(3) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-36-3\") including without limitation—

(i)any costs reasonably incurred or compensation properly paid in connection with the acquisition of rights or the exercise of statutory powers for such apparatus including without limitation in the event that it is agreed Northern Powergrid elects to use compulsory purchase powers to acquire any necessary rights under paragraph 36(4) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-36-4\") all costs reasonably incurred as a result of such action;

(ii)in connection with the cost of the carrying out of any diversion work or the provision of any alternative apparatus;

(iii)the cutting off of any apparatus from any other apparatus or the making safe of redundant apparatus;

(iv)the approval of plans;

(v)the carrying out of protective works, plus a capitalised sum to cover the cost of maintaining and renewing permanent protective works;

(vi)the survey of any land, apparatus or works, the inspection and monitoring of works or the installation or removal of any temporary works reasonably necessary in consequence of the execution of any such works referred to in this Part of this Schedule); and

(b)in assessing and preparing a design for its apparatus to address and accommodate the proposals of the undertaker whether or not the undertaker proceeds to implement those proposals or alternative or none at all,

provided that if it so prefers Northern Powergrid may abandon apparatus that the undertaker does not seek to remove in accordance with paragraph 36(2) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-36-2\") having first decommissioned such apparatus.

(2) Where any payment falls due pursuant to sub-paragraph (1) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-39-1\") Northern Powergrid—

(a)must provide an itemised invoice or reasonable expenses claim to the undertaker; and

(b)must provide ‘reminder letters’ to the undertaker for payment to be made within the 50 days on the following days after the invoice or reasonable expenses claim to the undertaker—

(ii)29 days (‘reminder letter 2’);

(iii)43 days (‘reminder letter 3’); and

(c)may commence debt proceedings to recover any unpaid itemised invoice or reasonable expenses claim on the fifty first day of receipt of the same where payment has not been made.

(3) Nothing in sub-paragraph (1) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-39-1\") requires the undertaker to repay any expense cost or charge for which Northern Powergrid is liable to the undertaker or a third party as a consequence of any default, negligence or omission by Northern Powergrid, its officers, employees, servants, contractors or agents.

(4) There is to be deducted from any sum payable under sub-paragraph (1) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-39-1\") the value of any apparatus removed under the provisions of this Part of this Schedule that value being calculated after removal and for the avoidance of doubt, if the apparatus removed under the provisions of this Part of this Schedule has nil value, no sum will be deducted from the amount payable under sub-paragraph (1) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-39-1\") 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, 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 61 (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 Northern Powergrid by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-39-1\") must be reduced by the amount of that excess save where it is not possible on account of project time limits and/or supply issues to obtain the existing type of operations, capacity, dimensions or place at the existing depth in which case full costs must be borne by the undertaker.

(5) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-39-4\")—

(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 where such an extension is required in consequence of the execution of any such works as are referred to in paragraph 36(2) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-36-2\") (removal of apparatus); and

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

(6) The undertaker will not be liable for any claim by Northern Powergrid for charges, costs or expenses under this paragraph 39 (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-39\") unless prior to Northern Powergrid undertaking the relevant works or incurring those charges, costs or expenses, the undertaker has—

(a)received an estimate of that charge, cost or expense along with all necessary supporting information required to evidence the amount and reasonableness of, and the reasonable steps taken to minimise, the charge, cost or expense and a timescale in which the undertaker will be required to make payment; and

(b)approved the estimate in writing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed),

and Northern Powergrid must not commence any work in relation to which an estimate is submitted until it has been agreed in writing by the undertaker.

(7) The undertaker will use reasonable endeavours to agree the amount of any estimates submitted to it under sub-paragraph (6) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-39-6\") within 15 working days of receipt, and must acknowledge as part of its approval that any estimate is only an estimate and may be subject to change.

(8) Subject to Northern Powergrid updating the undertaker by way of submission of an updated estimate for approval under sub-paragraph (6) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-39-6\") where any charges, costs or expenses are anticipated to exceed an approved estimate, the undertaker’s approval of an estimate must in no way limits National Powergrid’s recovery under this paragraph 39 (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-39\"), and the undertaker must pay the actual costs incurred by Northern Powergrid and submitted for payment whether such costs are above or below the estimate provided and upon making payment under this paragraph, the undertaker may—

(a)confirm to Northern Powergrid that the charge, cost or expense is accepted; or

(b)confirm to Northern Powergrid that the charge, cost or expense is not accepted and the reasons why it considers this to be the case,

and Northern Powergrid must take in to account any representations made by the undertaker in accordance with sub-paragraph (8) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-39-8\")(b) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-39-8-b\") and must following receipt of such representations confirm whether or not the requested refund, or any part thereof, is accepted or rejected, and the reasons why it considered this to be the case; and make payment of the requested refund, or part of it which is not rejected, as applicable (such confirmation or payment not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(9) Either party may refer any difference or dispute arising out of sub-paragraph (8) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-39-8\")(b) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-39-8-b\") to arbitration in accordance with article 61 (arbitration) of the Order.

Removal of apparatusE+W+S

49.—(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) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-49-2\") to (8) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-49-8\"); and

(b)facilities and rights have been secured for that alternative apparatus in accordance with paragraph 50 (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-50\") (facilities and rights for alternative apparatus).

(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 the undertaker reasonably needs to remove any of Anglian Water’s apparatus) the undertaker must, subject to sub-paragraph (3) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-49-3\"), 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) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-49-2\") 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 61 (arbitration).

(5) Anglian Water must, after the alternative apparatus to be provided or constructed has been agreed or settled by arbitration in accordance with article 61 (arbitration), and after the grant to Anglian Water of any such facilities and rights as are referred to in sub-paragraphs (2) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-49-2\") or (3) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-49-3\"), 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) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-49-5\"), 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) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-49-5\") 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.

Facilities and rights for alternative apparatusE+W+S

50.—(1) Where, in accordance with the provisions of this Part of this Schedule, the undertaker affords to Anglian Water facilities and rights for the construction and maintenance in land of the undertaker of alternative apparatus in substitution for apparatus to be removed, those facilities and rights are to be granted upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed between the undertaker and Anglian Water or in default of agreement settled by arbitration in accordance with article 61 (arbitration).

(2) If the facilities and rights to be afforded by the undertaker in respect of any alternative apparatus, and the terms and conditions subject to which those facilities and rights are to be granted, are in the opinion of the arbitrator less favourable on the whole to Anglian Water than the facilities and rights enjoyed by it in respect of the apparatus to be removed and the terms and conditions to which those facilities and rights are subject, the arbitrator must make such provision for the payment of compensation by the undertaker to Anglian Water as appears to the arbitrator to be reasonable having regard to all the circumstances of the particular case.

(3) Such facilities and rights as are set out in this paragraph are deemed to include any statutory permits granted to the undertaker in respect of the apparatus in question, whether under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016(118 (\"#f00118\")) or other legislation.

(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 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) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-51-3\") 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 (2) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-51-2\") 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)2.25 metres where the diameter of the pipe is less than 250 millimetres;

(b)3 metres where the diameter of the pipe is between 250 and 400 millimetres; and

(c)where works fall within 7 metres of pipes with a diameter exceeding 400 millimetres a distance not exceeding 7 metres to be agreed on a case by case basis (both parties acting reasonably) and before the submission of the plan under sub-paragraph (1) (\"#schedule-14-paragraph-51-1\").

The date for the hearing must not be less than 35 days from the date of the arbitrator’s direction confirming the date and venue of the hearing.

(6) A decision must be made by the arbitrator on whether there is any need for expert evidence to be submitted orally at the hearing. If oral expert evidence is required by the arbitrator, then any experts attending the hearing may be asked questions by the arbitrator.

(9) 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 the arbitrator is appointed, unless both parties otherwise agree to an extension to the date for the award.

(10) 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 the arbitrator attaching the appropriate weight to any evidence submitted beyond any timetable or in breach of any procedure or direction.

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

4.—(1) The undertaker may (except as provided in article 62(5) (\"#article-62-5\")) appeal in the event that—

(a)the relevant authority refuses (including a deemed refusal pursuant to paragraph 2(4) (\"#schedule-17-paragraph-2-4\")) an application for any consent, agreement or approval required by an article, requirement or condition included in this Order or grants it subject to conditions;

(b)on receipt of a request for further information pursuant to paragraph 3 (\"#schedule-17-paragraph-3\") the undertaker considers that either the whole or part of the specified information requested by the relevant authority is not necessary for consideration of the application; or

(c)on receipt of any further information requested, the relevant authority notifies the undertaker that the information provided is inadequate and requests additional information which the undertaker considers is not necessary for consideration of the application.

(2) The appeal process is as follows—

(a)any appeal by the undertaker must be made within 42 days of the date of the notice of the decision or determination giving rise to the appeal referred to in sub-paragraph (1) (\"#schedule-17-paragraph-4-1\") ;

(b)the undertaker must submit the appeal documentation to the Secretary of State and must on the same day provide copies of the appeal documentation to the relevant authority and any consultee required to be consulted pursuant to the provision of this Order which is the subject of the appeal (together with the undertaker, these are the “appeal parties”);

(c)as soon as is practicable after receiving the appeal documentation, the Secretary of State must appoint a person to determine the appeal and must forthwith notify the appeal parties of the identity of the appointed person and the address to which all correspondence for his attention should be sent, the date of such notification being the “start date” for the purposes of this sub-paragraph (2) (\"#schedule-17-paragraph-4-2\");

(d)the relevant authority and any consultee required to be consulted pursuant to the provision of this Order which is the subject of the appeal must submit written representations to the appointed person in respect of the appeal within 20 business days of the start date and must ensure that copies of their written representations are sent to each other and to the undertaker on the day on which they are submitted to the appointed person;

(e)the undertaker must make any counter-submissions to the appointed person within 20 business days of receipt of written representations pursuant to sub-paragraph (d) (\"#schedule-17-paragraph-4-2-d\") above; and

(f)the appointed person must make his decision and notify it to the appeal parties, with reasons, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 30 business days of the deadline for the receipt of counter-submissions pursuant to sub-paragraph (e) (\"#schedule-17-paragraph-4-2-e\").

(3) The appointment of the person pursuant to sub-paragraph (2)(c) (\"#schedule-17-paragraph-4-2-c\") may be undertaken by a person appointed by the Secretary of State for this purpose instead of by the Secretary of State.

(4) In the event that the appointed person considers that further information is necessary to enable him to consider the appeal he must, notify the appeal parties in writing specifying the further information required and the date by which the information is to be submitted and the appointed person must set the date for the receipt of such further information having regard to the timescales in sub-paragraph (2) (\"#schedule-17-paragraph-4-2\").

(5) Any further information required pursuant to sub-paragraph (4) (\"#schedule-17-paragraph-4-4\") must be provided by the appeal parties to the appointed person on the date specified by the appointed person (the “specified date”), and the appointed person must notify the appeal parties of the revised timetable for the appeal on or before that day. The revised timetable for the appeal must require submission of any written representations on the submitted further information to the appointed person within 10 business days of the specified date but otherwise is to be in accordance with the process and time limits set out in sub-paragraphs (2)(d) (\"#schedule-17-paragraph-4-2-d\") to (2)(f) (\"#schedule-17-paragraph-4-2-f\").

(7) The appointed person may proceed to a decision on an appeal taking into account only such written representations as have been sent within the relevant time limits.

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

(9) The decision of the appointed person on an appeal is to be 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.

(10) If an approval is given by the appointed person pursuant to this Schedule, it is deemed to be an approval given by the relevant authority. The relevant 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) is not to be taken to affect or invalidate the effect of the appointed person’s determination.

(11) Save where a direction is given pursuant to sub-paragraph (12) (\"#schedule-17-paragraph-4-12\") requiring the costs of the appointed person to be paid by the relevant authority, the reasonable costs of the appointed person must be met by the undertaker.

(12) On application by the relevant 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 and the terms on which it is to be made, the appointed person must have regard to Planning Practice Guidance: Appeals (March 2014) or any circular or guidance which may from time to time replace it.
