The Town and Country Planning (Construction and Improvement of Private Streets) Regulations 1951

4.—(1) Where, as respects the execution of street works in the street and matters connected therewith including recovery of expenses, the authority empowered by the private street works code is not the appropriate council as defined in sub-section (6) of Section 48 of the Act, that code shall have effect as if the appropriate council were substituted for the authority so empowered.

(2) Where the private street works code empowers the street works authority to execute street works and recover expenses in respect of such works only on failure by the owners of land adjoining the street to comply with a notice calling on them to carry out the works, such notice shall, for the purpose of empowering the authority in that behalf, be deemed to have been given and not complied with.
