If, for the purpose of executing any works compromised in the authorised development in, on, under or over any land purchased, held, appropriated or used under this Order, the undertaker requires the removal of any apparatus placed in that land, it must give to Cadent Gas Limited 56 days' advance written notice of that requirement, together with a plan of the work proposed, and of the proposed position of the alternative apparatus to be provided or constructed and in that case (or if in consequence of the exercise of any of the powers conferred by this Order Cadent Gas Limited reasonably needs to remove any of its apparatus) the undertaker must, subject to sub-paragraph (3), afford to Cadent Gas Limited to its satisfaction (taking into account paragraph 8(1) below) the necessary facilities and rights F1—

If alternative apparatus or any part of such apparatus is to be constructed elsewhere than in other land of or land secured by the undertaker, or the undertaker is unable to afford such facilities and rights as are mentioned in sub-paragraph (2), in the land in which the alternative apparatus or part of such apparatus is to be constructed, Cadent Gas Limited must, on receipt of a written notice to that effect from the undertaker, take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances in an endeavour to obtain the necessary facilities and rights in the land in which the alternative apparatus is to be constructed, save that this obligation shall not extend to the requirement for Cadent Gas Limited to use its compulsory purchase powers to this end unless it elects to so do.

Any alternative apparatus to be constructed in land of or land secured by the undertaker under this Part must be constructed in such manner and in such line or situation as may be agreed between Cadent Gas Limited and the undertaker.
