Paragraph 4 Apparatus of National Grid in stopped up streetsI1

Where any street is stopped up under article 11 (stopping up of streets), and any apparatus is in the street or accessed via that street, National Grid is entitled to the same rights in respect of such apparatus as it enjoyed immediately before the stopping up and the undertaker must grant to National Grid legal easements reasonably satisfactory to National Grid in respect of such apparatus and access to it prior to the stopping up of any such street.

Regardless of the temporary stopping up or diversion of any street under the powers of article 13 (temporary stopping up of streets), National Grid 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.
