  "heading": "Apparatus in stopped-up streets",
  "text": "(1) Where any street is stopped up under article 13 (stopping up of streets), any public utility whose apparatus is in the street has the same powers and rights in respect of that apparatus as it enjoyed immediately before the stopping up and the undertaker must as soon as reasonably practicable grant to the public utility legal easements reasonably satisfactory to the public utility in respect of such apparatus and access to it, but nothing in this paragraph affects any right of the undertaker or of the public utility to require the removal of that apparatus under paragraph 8 or the power of the undertaker to carry out works under paragraphs 20 to 27.\n(2) Regardless of the temporary stopping up or diversion of any highway under the powers conferred by article 14 (temporary stopping up of streets) the public utility is at liberty at all times to take all necessary access across any such temporarily stopped up highway and to execute and do all works and things in, upon or under any such highway as may be reasonably necessary to enable the public utility to maintain any apparatus which at the time of the stopping up or diversion was in that highway and only in a manner that is consistent with and subject to any restriction or limitations that applied on such access or works under the terms of the 1991 Act enjoyed immediately before the temporary stopping up.",
