Extent: E+W

(1) Where any street is stopped up under article 14 (Public rights of way), if the Statutory undertaker has apparatus in such street or accesses it via such street then the statutory undertaker shall be entitled to the same rights in respect of such apparatus in the stopped up street as it enjoyed immediately before the stopping up and the undertaker will grant to the statutory undertaker legal easements reasonably satisfactory to the statutory undertaker in respect of such apparatus and access to it prior to the stopping up of any such street or highway.
(2) Notwithstanding the temporary closure or diversion of any highway under the powers of article 13 (temporary closure of public rights of way), the statutory undertaker shall be at liberty at all times to take all necessary access across any such temporarily closed highway and/or to execute and do all such works and things in, upon or under any such highway as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to enable it to maintain any apparatus which at the time of the temporary closure or diversion was in that highway, subject always to the undertaker’s unimpeded ability to carry out the authorised works.
