Paragraph 102 Removal or diversion of apparatusI1

If the undertaker acquires any interest in land in which the statutory undertaker’s apparatus is placed, that apparatus shall not be removed and any right of a statutory undertaker to maintain 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 statutory undertaker provided that the statutory undertaker shall use all reasonable endeavours to construct and install such alternative apparatus as soon as reasonably practicable.

If, for the purpose of executing any Works, the undertaker requires the removal or diversion of any apparatus, it shall give to the statutory undertaker written notice of that requirement, together with a plan of the Works and the removal or diversion works proposed, the proposed position of the alternative apparatus, and the proposed timeline for the works.

The undertaker shall reasonably approve these details and shall afford to the statutory undertaker to their reasonable satisfaction the necessary facilities and rights for—

If alternative apparatus or any part of such apparatus is to be constructed elsewhere than in other land of the undertaker, or the undertaker is unable to afford such facilities and rights as are mentioned in sub-paragraphs (2) and (3), the statutory undertaker shall, on receipt of a written notice to that effect from the undertaker, take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances in an endeavour to obtain the necessary facilities and rights in the land in which the alternative apparatus is to be constructed, but this obligation shall not require the statutory undertaker to use its compulsory purchase powers unless it elects to so do.

Paragraph 105 (Expenses) of this Schedule applies to removal or diversions works under this paragraph 102, but the statutory undertaker must provide to the undertaker a reasonable cost estimate for works that it proposes to carry out for the undertaker’s approval.
