Where in consequence of the proposed construction of any part of the authorised works within the Bicker Drove stand-off area, Bicker Drove makes requirements for the protection or alteration of apparatus under paragraph 202 (retained apparatus: within the Bicker Drove stand-off area: protection), the undertaker shall use reasonable endeavours to coordinate the execution of the works in the interests of safety and the efficient and economic execution of the authorised works and taking into account the need to ensure the safe and efficient operation of Bicker Drove’s undertaking and Bicker Drove shall use reasonable endeavours to cooperate with the undertaker for that purpose.

For the avoidance of doubt whenever Bicker Drove’s consent, agreement or approval is required in relation to plans, documents or other information submitted by the undertaker or the taking of action by the undertaker, it must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
