Whereas an application has been made to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions (“the Secretary of State”), in accordance with the Transport and Works (Applications and Objections Procedure) Rules 1992(1) made under sections 6, 7 and 10 of the Transport and Works Act 1992(2) (“the Act”), for an Order under sections 3 and 5 of the Act;

And whereas the objections to that application have been withdrawn;

And whereas the Secretary of State is satisfied that the provision of an alternative right of way for each of the streets mentioned in Part II of Schedule 4 to this Order is not required;
