Paragraph 21 Apparatus of SGN in stopped up streetsI1

Without prejudice to the generality of any other protection afforded to SGN elsewhere in the Order, where any street is stopped up under article 17 (permanent stopping up and restriction of use of streets and private means of access) if SGN has any apparatus in the street or accessed via that street SGN will be entitled to the same rights in respect of such apparatus as it enjoyed immediately before the stopping up and the undertaker will grant to SGN, or will procure the granting to SGN of, legal easements reasonably satisfactory to SGN 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 shall affect any right of the undertaker or of SGN to require the removal of that apparatus under paragraph 24 (removal of apparatus).

Notwithstanding the temporary stopping up or diversion of any highway under the powers of article 16 (temporary stopping up and restriction of use of streets), SGN will be at liberty at all times to take all necessary access across any such stopped up highway and to execute and do all such works and things in, upon or under any such highway as it would have been entitled to do immediately before such temporary stopping up or diversion in respect of any apparatus which at the time of the stopping up or diversion was in that highway.
