Paragraph 7 I1

England and Wales

(1)

Before the commencement of the initial construction of any part of the specified works and again following completion of the specified works the promoter must bear the reasonable costs of the carrying out, by a qualified surveyor or engineer (“the surveyor”) to be approved by the Trust and the promoter, of surveys (“the surveys”) of so much of the relevant part of the waterway and of any land and existing works of the promoter which may provide support for the relevant part of the waterway as will or may be affected by the specified works.

(2)

For the purposes of the surveys the promoter must—

(a)

on being given reasonable notice (save in case of emergency, when immediate access must be afforded) afford reasonable facilities to the surveyor for access to the site of the specified works and to any land and existing works of the promoter which may provide support for the relevant part of the waterway as will or may be affected by the specified works; and

(b)

supply the surveyor as soon as reasonably practicable with all such information as he may reasonably require with regard to such land and existing works of the promoter and to the specified works or the method of their construction.

(3)

The reasonable costs of the surveys must include the costs of any dewatering or reduction of the water level of any part of the relevant part of the waterway (where reasonably required) which may be effected to facilitate the carrying out of the surveys and the provisions of this Schedule apply with all necessary modifications to any such dewatering or reduction in the water level as though the same were specified works.

(4)

Copies of the reports of the surveys must be provided to both the Trust and the promoter.
