The London Gateway Port Harbour Empowerment Order 2008

4.—(1) Where, in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule, the Harbour Authority affords to the undertaker facilities and rights for the construction, and maintenance, in land of the Harbour Authority of alternative apparatus in substitution for apparatus to be removed, those facilities and rights shall be granted upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed between the Harbour Authority and the undertaker or in default of agreement settled, subject to sub-paragraphs (2) and (3), by arbitration in accordance with article 66 (arbitration). E+W+S

(2) In settling those terms and conditions in respect of alternative apparatus to be constructed in any property of the Harbour Authority, the arbitrator shall—

(a) give effect to all reasonable requirements of the Harbour Authority for ensuring the safe and efficient construction and operation of the authorised works and for securing any subsequent alterations or adaptations of the alternative apparatus which may be required to prevent interference with any proposed works of the Harbour Authority;

(b) so far as it may be reasonable and practicable to do so in the circumstances of the particular case, give effect to the terms and conditions (if any) applicable to the apparatus for which the alternative apparatus is to be substituted and have regard to the undertaker’s ability to fulfil its service obligations; and

(c) enable all or part of such development as is authorised by this Order (and its subsidiary consents, approvals, permissions and authorities as the case may be) to go ahead without undue delay or unreasonable cost.

(3) If the facilities and rights to be afforded by the Harbour Authority in respect of any alternative apparatus, and the terms and conditions subject to which those facilities and rights are to be granted, are in the opinion of the arbitrator less favourable on the whole to the undertaker than the facilities and rights enjoyed by it in respect of the apparatus to be removed and the terms and conditions to which those facilities and rights are subject, the arbitrator shall make such provision for the payment of compensation by the Harbour Authority to the undertaker as appears to him to be reasonable having regard to all the circumstances of the particular case.
