(1)

The undertaker must give to the Trust 30 days' notice of its intention to commence the construction of any of the specified or protective works, or, in the case of repair carried out in an emergency, such notice as may be reasonably practicable so that, in particular, the Trust may where appropriate arrange for the publication of notices bringing those works to the attention of users of the Trust's network.

(2)

The undertaker must—

(a)

at all times afford reasonable facilities to the Trust for access to a specified work during its construction; and

(b)

supply the Trust with all such information as it may reasonably require with regard to a specified work or the method of constructing it.

(3)

In relation to any proposed closure of the canal or towpath or proposed temporary stopping up of public rights of navigation in respect of the canal, the undertaker must comply with the notification requirements and the procedure set out in the code of practice.
