Removal or replacement of apparatus

193.—(1) The undertaker is not permitted to remove, move or replace any apparatus in land without the prior written consent of Uniper, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(2) If, in the exercise of the powers conferred by this Order, the undertaker has exercised its compulsory purchase powers to acquire any interest in or possesses temporarily any Order land in which any apparatus is placed and has the power to move, replace or remove that apparatus, it may not do so under this Part of this Schedule and any right of Uniper to maintain that apparatus in that land may not be extinguished until alternative apparatus has been constructed, and is in operation to the reasonable satisfaction of Uniper in accordance with sub-paragraphs (3) to (7) inclusive.

(3) If, for the purpose of executing any specified works in, on, under or over any land held, appropriated or used under this Order pursuant to exercising its compulsory purchase powers the undertaker requires the replacement or removal of any apparatus placed in that land it must give to Uniper no less than 56 days advance written notice of that requirement, together with a plan of the work proposed, and where applicable, the proposed replacement apparatus or the position of any alternative apparatus to be provided or constructed and in that case provided that where—

(a)the undertaker requires the replacement of any apparatus placed in that land, it must be replaced with identical apparatus, provided that if identical apparatus is not available, it may not be replaced with any apparatus that is less advanced than the apparatus being replaced and must either be—

(i)replaced with apparatus on a similar or equivalent basis (i.e. like-for-like basis); or

(ii)where it cannot be replaced on a similar or equivalent basis, then it must be replaced with enhanced apparatus no less advanced than the apparatus being replaced; and

(b)the undertaker requires the removal of any apparatus placed in that land (or if in consequence of the exercise of any of the powers conferred by this Order Uniper reasonably needs to remove any of its apparatus), Uniper must, subject to sub-paragraph (5), secure any necessary consents for the alternative apparatus and afford to Uniper to its satisfaction the necessary facilities and rights for the construction of alternative apparatus in other land of or land secured by Uniper and subsequently for the maintenance of that apparatus.

(4) Prior to any removal or any replacement of the apparatus pursuant to this paragraph, the parties must agree the value attributable to such apparatus or alternative apparatus and, prior to any replacement or removal, if such value cannot be agreed between the parties, such value will be determined in accordance with paragraph 199 (arbitration).

(5) If alternative apparatus or any part of such apparatus is to be constructed elsewhere than in other land of or land secured by the undertaker, or the undertaker is unable to afford such facilities and rights as are mentioned in sub-paragraph (3), in the land in which the alternative apparatus or part of such apparatus is to be constructed, the undertaker must take all steps required in the circumstances to assist Uniper to obtain the necessary facilities and rights in the land in which the alternative apparatus is to be constructed.

(6) Any alternative apparatus to be constructed in land of or land secured by the undertaker under this Part of this Schedule must be constructed in such manner and in such line or situation as may be agreed between the undertaker and Uniper.

(7) Uniper must, after the alternative apparatus to be provided or constructed has been agreed, and subject to a written agreement having been entered into between the parties and the grant to Uniper of any such facilities and rights as are referred to in sub-paragraph (3) or (5), proceed without unnecessary delay to construct and bring into operation the alternative apparatus and subsequently to remove any apparatus required by the undertaker to be removed under the provisions of this Part of this Schedule.
