# The Beacon Fen Energy Park Order 2026, Paragraph 196: Notification of route within the Bicker Drove land


(1) As soon as is reasonably practicable after the undertaker has identified the area of land required for the authorised works within the Bicker Drove land and in any event no later than three years from the date this Order takes effect, the undertaker must notify Bicker Drove in writing of the confirmed location of the Bicker Drove interface area (the “Route Confirmation Notice”).
(2) The Route Confirmation Notice must include a plan sufficient to identify the Bicker Drove interface area.
(3) From (and including) the date the Route Confirmation Notice is given—
(a) the area identified in the Route Confirmation Notice shall constitute the “Bicker Drove interface area”; and
(b) the Bicker Drove land, other than the Bicker Drove interface area, shall constitute the “Bicker Drove stand-off area”;
(4) for the purposes of this Part of this Schedule.
(5) The undertaker may, if reasonably required, issue a revised Route Confirmation Notice to vary the Bicker Drove interface area, provided that any revised notice is given as soon as is reasonably practicable and before the commencement of any specified works within any newly identified part of the Bicker Drove land. Any revised Route Confirmation Notice shall take effect from the date it is given and the Bicker Drove interface area and Bicker Drove stand-off area shall be construed accordingly.
(6) For the avoidance of doubt, the giving of the Route Confirmation Notice (or any revised Route Confirmation Notice) does not disapply or vary the undertaker’s obligations in paragraph 197 (retained apparatus within the Bicker Drove interface area: protection), including consultation and notice periods prior to commencing specified works within the Bicker Drove interface area.
