This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
(1)Where—
(a)this section applies in relation to a designated area; and
(b)any street works have been executed on any land in the designated area which was then or has since become a private street (or part of a private street),
the Agency may serve a notice (an “adoption notice”) on the street works authority requiring the authority to declare the street (or part) to be a highway which for the purposes of the [1980 c. 66.] Highways Act 1980 is a highway maintainable at the public expense.
(2)Within the period of two months beginning with the date on which the adoption notice was served, the street works authority may appeal against the notice to the Secretary of State.
(3)After considering any representations made to him by the Agency and the street works authority, the Secretary of State shall determine an appeal under subsection (2) by setting aside or confirming the adoption notice (with or without modifications).
(4)Where, under subsection (3), the Secretary of State confirms the adoption notice—
(a)he may at the same time impose conditions (including financial conditions) upon the Agency with which it must comply in order for the notice to take effect; and
(b)with effect from such date as the Secretary of State may specify, the street (or part) shall become a highway which for the purposes of the [1980 c. 66.] Highways Act 1980 is a highway maintainable at the public expense.
(5)Where a street works authority neither complies with the adoption notice, nor appeals under subsection (2), the street (or part) shall become, upon the expiry of the period of two months referred to in subsection (2), a highway which for the purposes of the Highways Act 1980 is a highway maintainable at the public expense.
(6)In this section “street works” and “street works authority” have the same meanings as in Part XI of the [1980 c. 66.] Highways Act 1980.
