Article 18 Access to the authorised developmentI1
England and Wales
The undertaker may for the purposes of the authorised development—
with the approval of the highway authority, form and layout temporary and permanent means of access from Norman Road in the London Borough of Bexley between the points E and K on the access and rights of way plan; and
with the approval of the highway authority, form and lay out such other means of access or improve the existing means of access, at such locations as the undertaker reasonably requires for the purposes of the authorised development, including from Norman Road in the London Borough of Bexley between points K and O on the access and rights of way plan.
The undertaker may for the purposes of the authorised development—
utilise the temporary or permanent means of access from the public highway constructed under the REP Order; and
utilise the temporary means of access from the public highway constructed under the REP Order as permanent means of access for the authorised development.
Prior to the commissioning of Work No. 1, the undertaker must notify the relevant planning authority and the relevant highway authority if it intends to utilise the power in paragraph (2)(b).
Where paragraph (2) applies, the REP Order undertaker shall not be required to—
remove temporary accesses from the public highway created under the REP Order that are being utilised during the construction of the authorised development or, after construction, are to be used as permanent means of access by the undertaker; or
restore any alterations to the layout to streets that were undertaken to facilitate the creation of temporary access from the public highway under the REP Order that are being utilised during the construction of the authorised development or, after construction are to be used as permanent means of access by the undertaker; and
it shall not be considered to be a breach of the terms of the REP Order if such temporary accesses are not removed and alterations to streets are not restored.
For the purposes of this article “the REP Order undertaker” means the undertaker as defined by article 2 (interpretation) of the REP Order.
