Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

Where a street is stopped up under article 10 (stopping up of streets) or article 17 (replacement and closure of level crossings) if Northern Powergrid has any apparatus in that street or accessed via that street Northern Powergrid is entitled to the same rights in respect of that apparatus as it enjoyed immediately before the stopping up, subject to the provisions of this paragraph, as if this Order had not been made.

(2)

Regardless of the temporary stopping up streets under the powers conferred by article 12 (temporary stopping up of streets), Northern Powergrid is entitled at all times to take all necessary access across any such street and to execute and do all such works and things in, upon or under any such street as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to enable it to maintain any apparatus which at the time of the stopping up or diversion was in that street.
