Paragraph 36 Apparatus in stopped up streets and public rights of wayI1

Except where paragraph 40 applies, where any street is stopped up under article 15 (permanent stopping up of specified street and private means of access) or any public right of way is stopped up under article 17 (permanent closure and diversion of, and creation of new public rights of way and authorising vehicular use on public rights of way), TWUL has the same powers and rights in respect of any apparatus in the land in which the street or public right of way subsists as it enjoyed immediately before the stopping up and the undertaker must grant to TWUL legal easements reasonably satisfactory to TWUL in respect of such apparatus and access to it, but nothing in this paragraph affects any right of the undertaker or of TWUL to require the removal of that apparatus, or provision of alternative apparatus under paragraph 39 or the power of the undertaker to carry out works under paragraph 41.

Regardless of the temporary alteration, diversion or restriction of any street under the powers conferred by article 16 (temporary prohibition or restriction of use of streets, private means of access and public rights of way and authorising vehicular use on public rights of way), TWUL is at liberty at all times to take all necessary access across any such stopped up street and to execute and do all such works and things in, upon or under any such street as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to enable it to maintain any apparatus which at the time of the stopping up or diversion was in that street, upon giving at least three weeks’ notice of such intended entry, unless in an emergency.
