Paragraph 17 Onshore build optionsI1
England and Wales
Other than in relation to Work Nos. 13 and 13A, the undertaker may commence or exercise powers of compulsory acquisition under Part 5 of this Order in relation only to either build option 1 or build option 2.
Other than Work Nos. 13 and 13A, the onshore works must not commence until notification has been submitted to the discharging authority as to whether the undertaker intends to commence build option 1 or build option 2.
In the event that the undertaker notifies under sub-paragraph (2) that build option 2 is to be implemented, the width (being measured at 90 degrees to the orientation of the cables within each work) of each of Work Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 must not exceed 45 metres and Work No. 14, when including Work No. 14D, must not exceed 60 metres; except—
where trenchless techniques are to be used to install the cables, where the width must not exceed 90 metres;
as necessary to create a transitional (tapered) area between the width for the trenched installation and the width for the trenchless installation compounds, to such extent as is necessary to properly space out the cables approaching the trenchless installation compound, up to the maximum width of the trenchless installation compound concerned in each relevant location; or
where necessary to provide connections to accesses, haul routes and temporary construction compounds as authorised by Schedule 1 where the width may extend to that necessary to effect the connection required.
