Paragraph 23 AccessI1

If in consequence of the exercise of the powers conferred by the Order the access to any apparatus is obstructed or rendered materially less convenient (in Southern Water’s opinion, acting reasonably) the undertaker must provide such alternative means of access to such apparatus as will enable Southern Water to maintain or use the apparatus no less effectively or conveniently than was possible before such obstruction.

Where the undertaker proposes to provide to Southern Water an alternative means of access to any apparatus in compliance with sub-paragraph (1), the powers conferred by the Order must not be exercised until Southern Water has approved the proposed alternative means of access (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
