6.—(1) Any specified works must be constructed—E+W+S

(a)without unreasonable delay in accordance with the plans approved or settled under this Part; and

(b)to the reasonable satisfaction of the approving party.

(2) If any part of the specified works is constructed otherwise than in accordance with the requirements of this Part, the approving party may by notice in writing require the promoting party at the promoting party’s own expense to comply with the requirements of this Part or (if the promoting party so elects and the approving party in writing consents, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to remove, alter or pull down the works and, where removal is required, to restore the site to its former condition to such extent and within such limits as the approving party reasonably requires.

(3) Subject to sub-paragraph (4), if within a reasonable period, being not less than 28 days from the date when a notice under sub-paragraph (2) is served on the promoting party, the promoting party has failed to begin taking steps to comply with the requirements of the notice and subsequently to make reasonably expeditious progress towards their implementation, the approving party may execute the works specified in the notice and any expenditure incurred by it in so doing is recoverable from the promoting party.

(4) In the event of any dispute as to whether sub-paragraph (2) is properly applicable to any works in respect of which notice has been served under that sub-paragraph, or as to the reasonableness of any requirement of such a notice, the approving party must not except in an emergency exercise the powers conferred by sub-paragraph (3) until the dispute has been finally determined.
