  "text": "(1) Unless a shorter period is otherwise agreed in writing between the undertaker and Esso, not less than 35 days before commencing any specified work in relation to apparatus the removal of which has not been required by the undertaker under sub-paragraph 98(2) (removal of apparatus and rights for alternative apparatus) the undertaker must submit to Esso a plan of the works to be executed.\n(2) The plan to be submitted to Esso under sub-paragraph (1) must include a method statement and describe—\n(a) the exact position of the works;\n(b) the level at which these are proposed to be constructed or renewed;\n(c) the manner of their construction or renewal including details of excavation, positioning of plant etc.;\n(d) the position of all apparatus;\n(e) by way of detailed drawings, every alteration proposed to be made to or close to any such apparatus;\n(f) any intended maintenance regime; and\n(g) and any other information reasonably required by Esso to assess the works.\n(3) The specified work must be executed only in accordance with the plan submitted under sub-paragraph (1) and in accordance with such reasonable requirements as may be made in accordance with sub-paragraph (4) by Esso for the alteration or otherwise for the protection of the apparatus, or for securing access to it; and Esso is entitled to watch and inspect the execution of the specified work and the undertaker must follow any reasonable instructions from Esso for the safety of the apparatus and those working nearby.\n(4) Any reasonable requirements made by Esso under sub-paragraph (2) must be made within a period of 14 days (unless a shorter period is otherwise agreed in writing between the undertaker and Esso) beginning with the date on which a valid plan under sub-paragraph (1) is submitted to it.\n(5) If Esso in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) and in consequence of the works proposed by the undertaker, reasonably requires the removal of any apparatus and gives written notice to the undertaker of that requirement, this paragraph applies as if the removal of the apparatus had been required by the undertaker under paragraph 98(2) (removal of apparatus and rights for alternative apparatus) but for the avoidance of doubt the undertaker shall not be required to serve Esso with a new notice under paragraph 98.\n(6) Nothing in this paragraph precludes the undertaker from submitting at any time or from time to time but (unless otherwise agreed in writing between the undertaker and Esso) in no case less than 28 days before commencing any specified work, a new plan, instead of the plan previously submitted, and having done so the provisions of this paragraph apply to and in respect of the new plan.\n(7) The undertaker is not required to comply with sub-paragraph (1) where it needs to carry out emergency works as defined in the 1991 Act but in that case it must give to Esso notice of the works it intends to carry out to remedy the emergency together with a plan as soon as is reasonably practicable and must comply with sub-paragraph (2) in so far as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances.\n(8) In relation to any works which will or may be situated on, over, under or within 15 metres measured in any direction of apparatus, or (wherever situated) impose any load directly upon the apparatus or involve embankment works within 15 metres of the apparatus, the plan to be submitted to Esso under sub-paragraph (1) must include a material statement describing—\n(a) the exact position of the work;\n(b) the level at which the work is to be constructed or renewed;\n(c) the manner of its construction or renewal;\n(d) the position of the apparatus; and\n(e) by way of detailed drawings, every alteration proposed to be made to the apparatus.",
