(a)means of access, or alter or improve existing means of access, in the locations marked with ‘A’ on the Order plans, and
(b)such other means of access or alter or improve existing means of access at such locations within the Order limits as the Agency reasonably requires for the purposes of the authorised works, as may be first approved by the highway authority, but such approval must not be unreasonably withheld.
