Construction and maintenance of new or altered streets

10.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), the streets authorised to be constructed, altered or diverted under this Order are to be public highways and are to be maintained by and at the expense of the highway authority.

(2) 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), when completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority, unless otherwise agreed, is to 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.

(3) In any action against the undertaker in respect of damage resulting from its failure to maintain a street to which paragraph (2) applies, section 58 (special defence in action against a highway authority for damages for non-repair of highway)(1) of the 1980 Act applies as if that street were a highway maintainable at the public expense.

(1)

As amended by section 168(2) of, and Schedule 9 to, the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (c. 22).
