Article 12 Access to worksI1

The undertaker may, for the purposes of the authorised development and with the prior written consent of the highway authority, form and lay out such means of access to a highway or improve existing means of access to a highway, at such locations within the Order limits as the undertaker reasonably requires, for the purposes of the authorised development.

If the highway authority which receives an application for consent under paragraph (1) fails to notify the undertaker of its decision before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the date on which the application was made, it is deemed to have granted approval.

The consent of the highway authority is not required for the carrying out of works to improve the existing means of access shown on the highway works plan.
