Retained apparatus: protection

73.—(1) Unless a shorter period is otherwise agreed in writing between the undertaker and Exolum, not less than 28 days before commencing any specified work in relation to apparatus the removal of which has not been required by the undertaker under sub-paragraph 72(2), the undertaker must submit to Exolum a plan of the works to be executed.

(2) The specified work must be executed only in accordance with the plan submitted under subparagraph (1) and approved by Exolum in accordance with sub-paragraph (4) by Exolum for the alteration or otherwise for the protection of the apparatus, or for securing access to it; and Exolum is entitled to watch and inspect the execution of the specified work.

(3) Any requirements made by Exolum under sub-paragraph (2) must be made within a period of 14 days (unless a shorter period is otherwise agreed in writing between the undertaker and Exolum) beginning with the date on which a plan under sub-paragraph (1) is submitted to it.

(4) If Exolum in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) and in consequence of the works proposed by the undertaker, reasonably requires the removal of any apparatus and gives written notice to the undertaker of that requirement, this Part of this Schedule applies as if the removal of the apparatus had been required by the undertaker under sub-paragraph 89(2).

(5) Nothing in this paragraph precludes the undertaker from submitting at any time or from time to time but (unless otherwise agreed in writing between the undertaker and Exolum) in no case less than 28 days before commencing any specified work, a new plan, instead of the plan previously submitted, and having done so the provisions of this paragraph apply to and in respect of the new plan.

(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 Exolum notice of the works it intends to carry out to remedy the emergency together with a plan as soon as is reasonably practicable and must comply with subparagraph (2) in so far as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances.

(7) In relation to any specified work, the plan to be submitted to Exolum under sub-paragraph (1) must include a material statement describing—

(a) the exact position of the work;

(b) the level at which the work is to be constructed or renewed;

(c) the manner of its construction or renewal;

(d) the position of any apparatus; and

(e) by way of detailed drawings, every alteration proposed to be made to the apparatus.
