# The Outer Dowsing Offshore Wind Farm Order 2026, Paragraph 41: Agency access


(1) If by reason of construction of the specified work or the failure of any such work, the Agency’s access to flood defences or equipment maintained for flood defence purposes is materially obstructed, the undertaker must notify the Agency immediately and provide such suitable alternative means of access that will allow the Agency to maintain the flood defence or use the equipment no less effectively than was possible before the obstruction occurred and such access must be made available as soon as reasonably practicable after the undertaker becoming aware of such obstruction, except in the case of an emergency in which case the undertaker must provide such alternative means of access on demand.
(2) If by reason of closure or diversion of Roman Bank under the powers conferred by article 11 (temporary closure of streets) the Agency’s access to carry out any of its statutory functions would be materially obstructed, the undertaker must facilitate continued, unrestricted access over Roman Bank for the Agency and any contractors working on its behalf, provided that the Agency gives the undertaker reasonable notice of its need to take access over any part of Roman Bank which is temporarily closed.
