In Part 3 of the 1991 Act references, in relation to major highway works, to the highway authority concerned are, in relation to works which are major highway works by virtue of paragraph (1), to be construed as references to the undertaker.

The following provisions of the 1991 Act do not apply in relation to any works carried out under the powers of this Order—

• section 56 M3 (directions as to timing);

• section 56A M4 (power to give directions as to placing of apparatus);

• section 58 M5 (restrictions following substantial road works);

• section 58A M6 (restriction on works following substantial street works);

• section 73A M7 (power to require undertaker to re-surface street);

• section 73B M8 (power to specify timing etc. of re-surfacing);

• section 73C M9 (materials; workmanship and standard of re-surfacing);

• section 78A M10 (contributions to costs of re-surfacing by undertaker); and

• Schedule 3A M11 (restriction on works following substantial street works).

The provisions of the 1991 Act mentioned in paragraph (5) (which, together with other provisions of that Act, apply in relation to the carrying out of street works) and any regulations made, or code of practice issued or approved, under those provisions apply (with the necessary modifications) in relation to any stopping up, alteration or diversion of a street of a temporary nature by the undertaker under the powers conferred by article 11 (temporary stopping up and restriction of use of streets) whether or not the stopping up, alteration or diversion constitutes street works within the meaning of that Act.

The provisions of the 1991 Act M12 referred to in paragraph (4) are—

• section 54 M13 (advance notice of certain works), subject to paragraph (6);

• section 55 M14 (notice of starting date of works), subject to paragraph (6);

• section 75 (inspection fees);

• section 76 (liability for cost of temporary traffic regulation); and

• section 77 (liability for cost of use of alternative route),

and all such other provisions as apply for the purposes of the provisions mentioned above.

Section 54 and 55 of the 1991 Act as applied by paragraph (4) have effect as if references in section 57 of that Act to emergency works were a reference to a stopping up, alteration, or diversion (as the case may be) required in a case of emergency.
