Temporary stopping up and restriction of use of streets
11.—(1) The undertaker may, during and for the purposes of constructing the authorised development, temporarily stop up, alter, divert or restrict the use of any street and may for any reasonable time—
(a)divert the traffic from the street; and
(b)subject to paragraph (3), prevent all persons from passing along the street.
(2) Without limitation on the scope of paragraph (1), the undertaker may use any street temporarily stopped up or restricted under the powers conferred by this article and within the Order limits as a temporary working site.
(3) The undertaker must provide reasonable access for pedestrians going to or from premises abutting a street affected by the temporary stopping up, alteration, diversion or restriction of a street under this article if there would otherwise be no such access.
(4) The undertaker must not temporarily stop up, alter, divert or restrict the use of any street for which it is not the street authority without the consent of the street authority, which may attach reasonable conditions to any consent, but its consent must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(5) Any person who suffers loss by the suspension of any private right of way under this article is entitled to compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, as if it were a dispute under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act.
