The Midland Metro (Wolverhampton City Centre Extension) Order 2016

Construction of specified works

12.—(1) Any specified or protective works must, when commenced, be constructed—

(a) without unnecessary delay in accordance with the plans approved or deemed to have been approved or settled under the provisions in paragraph 8 and with any requirements made under paragraph 8(5) and paragraph 9;

(b) under the supervision (if given) and to the reasonable satisfaction of the engineer;

(c) in such manner as to cause as little detriment as is reasonably practicable; and

(d) in such manner as to cause as little inconvenience as is reasonably practicable to CRT, its officers and agents and all other persons lawfully using the waterways, except to the extent that temporary obstruction has otherwise been agreed by CRT.

(2) Nothing in this Order authorises the Authority to make or maintain any permanent works in or over the waterway so as to impede or prevent (whether by reducing the width or navigation headroom of the waterway) the passage of any vessel which is of a kind (as to its dimensions) for which CRT is required by section 105(1)(b) and (2) (maintenance of waterways) of the Transport Act 1968(1) to maintain the waterway.

(3) Following the completion of the construction of the specified works the Authority must restore the waterway to a condition in the reasonable opinion of CRT no less satisfactory than its condition immediately prior to the commencement of those works.
