  "text": "(1) Not less than 28 days before starting the execution of any works in, on or under any land purchased, held, appropriated or used under this Order that are near to or will or may affect any retained apparatus, the undertaker must submit to SEW a plan, section and description of the works to be executed in order to ensure the protection of retained apparatus.\n(2) The works must be executed only in accordance with the plan, section and description submitted under sub-paragraph (1) and in accordance with such reasonable requirements as may be made in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) by SEW for the alteration or otherwise for the protection of retained apparatus or for securing access to such retained apparatus and SEW is entitled to watch and inspect the execution of those works.\n(3) Any requirements made by SEW under sub-paragraph (2) must be made within a period of 28 days beginning with the date on which a plan, section and description under sub-paragraph (1) are submitted to it, or as soon as reasonably practicable after SEW becoming aware of an issue (which it was not aware of at the time the plan, section and description under sub-paragraph (1) was submitted), which means a requirement(s) is now necessary to protect the retained apparatus and or access to the retained apparatus.\n(4) If SEW in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) and in consequence of the works proposed by the undertaker, reasonably requires the removal of any apparatus and gives written notice to the undertaker of that requirement, paragraphs 1 to 4 of this Part of this Schedule apply as if the removal of the apparatus had been required by the undertaker under paragraph 49(2).\n(5) Nothing in this paragraph precludes the undertaker from submitting at any time or from time to time, but in no case less than 28 days before commencing the execution of any works, a new plan, section and description instead of the plan, section and description previously submitted, and having done so the provisions of this paragraph apply to and in respect of the new plan, section and description.\n(6) The undertaker is not required to comply with sub-paragraph (1) in a case of emergency but in that case it must give to SEW notice as soon as is reasonably practicable and a plan, section and description of those works as soon as reasonably practicable subsequently and must comply with sub-paragraph (2) in so far as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances.",
