Article 11 Temporary stopping up of streets
The undertaker may, during and for the purposes of the execution of the authorised works, temporarily stop up, alter or divert any street and may for any reasonable time—
divert the traffic from the street, and
subject to paragraph (2) below, prevent all persons from passing along the street.
The undertaker shall provide reasonable access for pedestrians going to or from premises abutting on a street affected by the exercise of the powers conferred by this article if there would otherwise be no such access.
Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (1) above, the undertaker may exercise the powers of this article in relation to so much of the streets specified in Schedule 5 to this Order as lie within the limits of deviation or within the further limits.
The undertaker shall not exercise the powers of this article in relation to any street without the consent of the street authority, but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
