Paragraph 59

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph 58, the requirements which the Agency may make under that paragraph include conditions requiring Network Rail at its own expense to construct such protective works, whether temporary or permanent, during the construction of the specified works (including the provision of flood banks, walls or embankments or other new works and the strengthening, repair or renewal of existing banks, walls or embankments) as are reasonably necessary—

(a)

to safeguard any drainage work against damage, or

(b)

to secure that its efficiency for flood defence purposes is not impaired and that the risk of flooding is not otherwise increased,

by reason of any specified work.
