The National Grid (Hinkley Point C Connection Project) Order 2016

81.—(1) Not less than 56 days before starting the execution of specified works, the undertaker must submit to RWE a plan, section and description of the works to be executed.

(2) Those works must be executed only in accordance with the plan, section and description submitted under sub-paragraph (1) and in accordance with such reasonable requirements as may be made in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) by RWE for the alteration or otherwise for the protection of the apparatus, or for securing access to it, and RWE is entitled to watch and inspect the execution of those works, and the undertaker must supply RWE with any additional information concerning such works as RWE may reasonably require.

(3) Any requirements made by RWE under sub-paragraph (2) must be made within a period of 56 days beginning with the date on which a plan, section and description under sub-paragraph (1) are submitted to it.

(4) Where RWE requires any protective works under sub-paragraph (2) to be carried out either by itself or by the undertaker (whether of a permanent or temporary nature), the protective works must be carried out to RWE’s reasonable satisfaction prior to the carrying out of the specified works.

(5) Nothing in this paragraph precludes the undertaker from submitting at any time or from time to time, but in no case less than 56 days before commencing the execution of any works, a new plan, section and description instead of the plan, section and description previously submitted, and having done so the provisions of this paragraph apply to and in respect of the new plan, section and description.

(6) The undertaker is not required to comply with sub-paragraph (1) in a case of emergency, but in that case it must give to RWE notice as soon as is reasonably practicable and a plan, section and description of those works as soon as reasonably practicable subsequently and must comply with sub-paragraph (2) in so far as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances.
