Paragraph 3 I1

England, Wales and Scotland

(1)

If, in the exercise of any of its powers granted under this Order, the Harbour Authority serves notice on the undertaker that it intends to develop land affecting the apparatus of the undertaker, that apparatus shall not be removed under this Schedule and any right of the undertaker to use, maintain, repair, renew or inspect that apparatus in that land shall not be extinguished until alternative apparatus has been constructed and is in operation to the reasonable satisfaction of the undertaker.

(2)

If, for the purpose of executing any authorised works in, on or under any land, the Harbour Authority requires the protection, diversion, relocation or removal of any apparatus placed in that land, the Harbour Authority shall give to the undertaker 56 days’ written notice of that requirement, together with a plan and section 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 granted under this Order, the undertaker reasonably needs to remove any of its apparatus) the Harbour Authority shall, subject to sub-paragraph (3), afford to the undertaker the necessary facilities and rights for the construction of alternative apparatus in other land of the Harbour Authority where the Harbour Authority so directs and thereafter for the use, maintenance, repair, renewal and inspection of that apparatus.

(3)

If alternative apparatus or any part of such apparatus is to be constructed elsewhere than in other land of the Harbour Authority, or the Harbour Authority 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, the undertaker shall, on receipt of a written notice to that effect from the Harbour Authority, use its best endeavours to obtain the necessary facilities and rights in the land in which the alternative apparatus is to be constructed.

(4)

Sub-paragraph (3) does not require the undertaker to exercise any power to acquire compulsorily any land or right in the land unless the Harbour Authority has agreed to be liable for the costs of the exercise of the power, and if the Harbour Authority does so agree, it may act as the undertaker’s agent in the exercise of the power.

(5)

Any alternative apparatus to be constructed in land of the Harbour Authority under this Schedule shall be constructed in such manner and in such line or situation as may be agreed between the undertaker and the Harbour Authority or in default of agreement settled by arbitration in accordance with article 66 (arbitration).

(6)

The undertaker shall, after the alternative apparatus to be provided or constructed has been agreed or settled by arbitration in accordance with article 66 (arbitration), and after the grant to the undertaker of any such facilities and rights as are referred to in sub-paragraph (2) or (3), proceed with all reasonable dispatch to construct and bring into operation the alternative apparatus and thereafter to remove any apparatus required by the Harbour Authority to be removed under the provisions of this Schedule.

(7)

Notwithstanding anything in sub-paragraphs (2) and (6), if the Harbour Authority gives notice in writing to the undertaker that the Harbour Authority desires itself to execute any part of the work necessary in connection with the construction of alternative apparatus, or the removal of the apparatus required to be removed, or the protection of apparatus, that work, in lieu of being executed by the undertaker, shall be executed by the Harbour Authority with the prior written consent of the undertaker (which shall not be unreasonably withheld but which may be subject to any such conditions as are reasonable and proper) in accordance with plans and in a position agreed between the undertaker and the Harbour Authority or, in default of agreement, settled by arbitration in accordance with article 66 (arbitration), with all reasonable dispatch under the superintendence, if given, and to the reasonable satisfaction of the undertaker.

(8)

The Harbour Authority must agree the programme for diversion of the apparatus with the undertaker (who must act reasonably) to ensure that the undertaker can fulfil its operational requirements.
