Article 9: Restriction on works following substantial road works

Article 9 amends Article 18 of the 1995 Order, which aimed to provide a period of 12 months’ protection from street works for streets in which substantial road works had been recently executed.  That period of restriction has been replaced with a period to be prescribed in regulations.  Disputes shall be decided in the prescribed manner (either through arbitration or, on appeal by the undertaker to the Planning Appeals Commission).
