Paragraph 4 Apparatus of National Grid in stopped up streetsI1

Where any street is permanently stopped up under this Order, if National Grid has any apparatus in the street or accessed via that street National Grid has the same rights in respect of that apparatus as it enjoyed immediately before the stopping up and the undertaker must grant to National Grid, or procure the granting to National Grid of, 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 or highway but nothing in this paragraph affects any right of the undertaker or National Grid to require the removal of that apparatus under paragraph 7 or the power of the undertaker, subject to compliance with this sub-paragraph, to carry out works under paragraph 9.

Notwithstanding the temporary stopping up or diversion of any highway pursuant to Article 13 (Agreement with street authorities), National Grid is at liberty at all times to take all necessary access across any such stopped up highway and to execute all such works and things in, upon, or under any such highway as may be reasonable necessary or desirable to enable it to maintain any apparatus which at the time of the stopping up or diversion was in that highway.
