(2) No street specified in columns (1) and (2) of Part I of Schedule 5 (being a street to be stopped up for which a substitute is to be provided) shall be wholly or partly stopped up under this article unless either—

(a)the new street to be substituted for it, and which is specified in relation to it by reference to one of the scheduled works mentioned in column (4) of that Part of that Schedule, has been completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority and is open for use; or

(b)a temporary alternative route is first provided and thereafter maintained by DLRL to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority between the commencement and termination points of the street to be stopped up until completion of the new street in accordance with sub-paragraph (a) above.

(3) No street specified in columns (1) to (3) of Part III of Schedule 5 to this Order (being a street to be stopped up for which no substitute is to be provided) shall be wholly or partly stopped up under this article unless the condition specified in paragraph (4) below is satisfied in relation to all the relevant land; and for this purpose “relevant land” means any land which abuts on either side of the street to be stopped up.

(4) The condition referred to in paragraph (3) above is that—

(a)DLRL is in possession of the land; or

(b)there is no right of access to the land from the street concerned; or

(c)there is reasonably convenient access to the land otherwise than from the street concerned; or

(d)the owners and occupiers of the land have agreed to the stopping up.

(5) Where a street has been stopped up under this article—

(a)all rights of way (or in the case of a street specified in Part II of Schedule 5 to this Order all vehicular rights of way) over or along it shall be extinguished; and

(b)DLRL may appropriate and use for the purposes of its undertaking so much of the site of the street as is bounded on both sides by land owned by DLRL.

(6) Any person who suffers loss by the extinguishment or suspension of any private right of way under this article shall be entitled to compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part I of the 1961 Act.
