The undertaker may, in connection with the carrying out of the authorised development, temporarily stop up each of the public rights of way specified in column (1) of Schedule 4 (rights of way to be temporarily stopped up or restricted) to the extent specified in column (2), by reference to the letters shown on the temporary stopping up of public rights of way plan.

The rights of way specified in Schedule 4 (rights of way to be temporarily stopped up or restricted) may not be temporarily stopped up under this article unless a diversion for the stopped up section of that right of way, is first provided by the undertaker to the standard defined in the public access management plan forming part of the code of construction practice to be approved in accordance with the requirements set out in Schedule 2 (requirements), to the reasonable satisfaction of the highway authority.

The relevant diversion route provided under paragraph (2) will be subsequently maintained by the undertaker until the re-opening of the relevant right of way specified in paragraph (1).

Any person who suffers loss by the suspension of any private right of way under this article is entitled to compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act.
