SCHEDULE 7PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS

PART 2FOR THE PROTECTION OF WESTERN POWER DISTRIBUTION

20

1

If, in the exercise of the powers conferred by this Order, the undertaker acquires any interest in any land in which any apparatus is placed, that apparatus must not be removed under this Part of this Schedule and any right of WPD to maintain that apparatus in that land must not be extinguished until alternative apparatus has been constructed and is in operation to the reasonable satisfaction of WPD.

2

If, for the purpose of executing any works in, on or under any land purchased, held, appropriated or used under this Order, the undertaker requires the removal of any apparatus placed in that land, it must give to WPD written notice of that requirement, together with a plan and section of the work proposed.

3

If alternative apparatus or any part of such apparatus is to be constructed as a consequence of the removal of apparatus placed on the land referred to in sub-paragraph 20(2), WPD must on receipt of a written notice to that effect from the undertaker, as soon as reasonably possible use its reasonable endeavours to obtain the alternative rights in other land in which the alternative apparatus is to be constructed.

4

WPD must, after the alternative apparatus to be provided or constructed has been agreed or settled by arbitration in accordance with article 39 of the Order and after the grant to WPD of any alternative rights, proceed without unnecessary delay to construct and bring into operation the alternative apparatus and subsequently to remove any apparatus required by the undertaker to be removed under the provisions of this Part of this Schedule.

5

In respect of apparatus on plots numbered 1_MS and 3_MS in the book of reference and land plans—

a

if requested by the undertaker, WPD must remove any of its apparatus within a building on those plots (or relocate such apparatus as applicable) within 56 days of the undertaker making such a request, unless factors outside the control of WPD prevent such a removal or relocation within the 56 day time period (for the avoidance of doubt the 56 day period shall only begin once all necessary consents and permissions for the relevant removal or relocation have been granted); and

b

WPD and the undertaker may agree for the undertaker to remove or relocate as applicable any of such apparatus; and

c

following the removal or relocation by WPD or the undertaker (as applicable) under sub-paragraph 20(5)(a) or 20(5)(b), the undertaker may demolish such building(s).
