(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 M1.

(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.

(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 M2 have the same meaning as in that Act.

(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).

(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

(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.

(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 M5 (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 M6 (application of compulsory acquisition provisions) of the 2008 Act.

(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;
