Article 6: Notices of street works
Article 6 amends Articles 14, 15 and 51 of the 1995 Order in relation to the giving of advance notices of certain works. Advance notices given under Article 14 must contain the date when the works are intended to start and such other information as may be prescribed. An undertaker who has given advance notice but who does not submit before the start date quoted a further notice, required nearer to the time of works under Article 15, must supply the authority with a further notice. The further notice will contain such information as may be prescribed. If works have not substantially begun within a prescribed period after the proposed start date, the notice ceases to have effect, meaning the proposed works cannot lawfully begin. If the undertaker wishes to carry out the works, he will have to start the process of giving advance notice all over again.
