Article 14 Power to alter layout etc. of streets
Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), the undertaker may, in so far as may be expedient or necessary for the purposes of or in connection with constructing, operating and maintaining the authorised project, alter the layout of any street and, without limitation on the scope of this paragraph, the undertaker may—
alter the level or increase the width of the street including any carriageway, kerb, footway, cycle track or verge;
make and maintain passing place(s); and
alter, remove, replace and relocate any street furniture, including bollards, lighting columns, road signs.
The undertaker must restore any street that has been temporarily altered under this article to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority.
The powers conferred by paragraph (1) must not be exercised without the consent of the street authority, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
Paragraphs (2) and (3) do not apply where the undertaker is the street authority for a street in which the works are being carried out.
If the street authority fails to notify the undertaker of its decision within 28 days of receiving an application for consent under paragraph (3), the street authority is deemed to have granted consent.
