(a) deviate laterally from the lines or situations of the authorised development shown on the works plans to the extent of the limits of deviation shown on those plans; and

(b) deviate vertically from the levels of the authorised development shown on the engineering drawings and sections to a maximum of 1.0 metres upwards or downwards, with the exception of the following—

(i) to a maximum of 0.5 metres upwards or downwards at Little Singleton Junction as defined by Work Nos. 84, 85, 86, 87, 88 and 89;

(ii) to a maximum of 0.5 metres upwards or downwards at Lodge Lane as defined by Work No. 70; and

(iii) in respect of any borrow pit, during excavation to a maximum of 10 metres downwards and to any distance upwards and, following restoration, to a maximum of 2.6 metres downwards and to any distance upwards to ground level, as defined by Work Nos. 63 and 78,

except that these maximum limits of vertical deviation do not apply where it is demonstrated by the undertaker to the Secretary of State’s satisfaction and the Secretary of State, following consultation with the relevant planning authority and (in respect of sub-paragraphs (b)(i) and (ii)) the local highway authority, certifies accordingly that a deviation in excess of these limits would not give rise to any materially new or materially different environmental effects in comparison with those reported in the environmental statement.
