(a)divert the traffic from the street or public right of way; and
(b)subject to paragraph (3), prevent all persons from passing along the street, cycle track or public right of way.
(2) Without limitation on the scope of paragraph (1), the undertaker may use as a temporary working site any street, cycle track or public right of way which has been temporarily closed, altered or diverted under the powers conferred by this article.
(3) The undertaker must provide reasonable access for pedestrians going to or from premises abutting a street, cycle track or public right of way affected by the temporary closure, alteration or diversion under this article if there would otherwise be no such reasonable access.
(4) Without limitation on the scope of paragraph (1), the undertaker may temporarily close, alter or divert the streets, cycle tracks or public rights of way specified in column (2) of Parts 1 and 2 of Schedule 8 (streets, cycle tracks or public rights of way to be temporarily closed) to the extent specified, by reference to the letters and numbers shown on the access, rights of way and public rights of navigation plan, in column (3) of that Schedule, and, if it does so in respect of a street, cycle track or public right of way specified in Part 1 of Schedule 8, must provide the temporary diversion as specified in column (4) of that Part.
(5) The undertaker must not temporarily close, alter or divert—
(a)any street, cycle track or public right of way specified as mentioned in paragraph (4) without first consulting the street authority; and
(b)any other street, cycle track or public right of way without the consent of the street authority which may attach reasonable conditions to any consent.
(6) Where the undertaker provides a temporary diversion under paragraph (4), the temporary alternative route is not required to be of a higher standard than the temporarily closed street, cycle track or public right of way in column (2) of Part 1 of Schedule 8 (streets, cycle tracks or public rights of way to be temporarily closed).
(7) 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.

(9) Any application for consent under paragraph (5)(b) must include a statement that the provisions of paragraph (8) apply to that application.
