25.—(1) Without limitation on the scope of any other protection afforded to the statutory undertaker elsewhere in this Order, where any street is stopped up under the powers conferred by this Order, if the statutory undertaker has apparatus in the street or accessed via that street the statutory undertaker is entitled to the same rights in respect of such apparatus as it enjoyed immediately before the stopping up and the undertaker must grant to the statutory undertaker, or procure the granting to the statutory undertaker of, legal easements reasonably satisfactory to the statutory undertaker in respect of such apparatus and access to it prior to the stopping up of any such street.

(2) Regardless of the temporary stopping up or diversion of any highway under the powers conferred by this Order, the statutory undertaker is at liberty at all times to take all necessary access across any such stopped up highway and to execute and do all such works and things in, upon or under any such highway as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to enable it to maintain any apparatus which at the time of the stopping up or diversion was in that highway.
