13.  The promoter may, for the purposes of the construction, operation or maintenance of the authorised works, form and lay out such means of access or improve such existing means of access, to any street, as may be approved by the highway authority, but such approval must not be unreasonably withheld.

Construction and maintenance of new, altered or diverted streets

14.—(1) Any street to be constructed under this Order must be completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the highway authority and must, unless otherwise agreed between the promoter and the highway authority, be maintained by and at the expense of the promoter for a period of 18 months from its completion and from the expiry of that period by and at the expense of the highway authority.

(2) Where a street is altered or diverted under this Order, the altered or diverted part of the street must, when completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority, unless otherwise agreed, be maintained by and at the expense of the promoter for a period of 18 months from its completion and from the expiry of that period by and at the expense of the street authority.

(3) In any action against the promoter in respect of loss or damage resulting from any failure by it to maintain a street under this article, it is a defence (without prejudice to any other defence or the application of the law relating to contributory negligence) to prove that the promoter had taken such care as in all the circumstances was reasonably required to secure that the part of the street to which the action relates was not dangerous to traffic.

(4) For the purposes of a defence under paragraph (3), the court must in particular have regard to the following matters—

(a) the character of the street including its use for a tramway, and the traffic which was reasonably to be expected to use it;

(b) the standard of maintenance appropriate for a street of that character and used by such traffic;

(c) the state of repair in which a reasonable person would have expected to find the street;

(d) whether the promoter knew, or could reasonably have been expected to know, that the condition of the part of the street to which the action relates was likely to cause danger to users of the street; and

(e) where the promoter could not reasonably have been expected to repair that part of the street before the cause of action arose, what warning notices of its condition had been displayed,

but for the purposes of such a defence it is not relevant to prove that the promoter had arranged for a competent person to carry out or supervise the maintenance of that part of the street to which the action relates unless it is also proved that the promoter had given the competent person proper instructions with regard to the maintenance of the street and that the competent person had carried out those instructions.

Restoration of streets if street tramway discontinued

15.  If the promoter abandons the construction of, or permanently ceases to operate any of the authorised street tramway (“the discontinued tramway”), it must as soon as reasonably practicable and unless otherwise agreed with the street authority—

(a) remove from any street in which the discontinued tramway is laid the rails and any other works, equipment and apparatus which have become redundant; and

(b) restore, to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority, the portion of the street along which the discontinued tramway was laid, regard being had to the condition of the street before the tramway was laid.

Agreements with street authorities

16.—(1) A street authority and the promoter may enter into agreements with respect to—

(a) the construction of any new street under the powers conferred by this Order;

(b) the strengthening, improvement, repair or reconstruction of any street under the powers conferred by this Order;

(d) any stopping up, alteration or diversion of a street under the powers conferred by this Order; or

(e) the execution in the street of any of the works referred to in article 11 (power to execute street works).

(2) Such an agreement may, without limitation on the scope of paragraph (1)—

(a) provide for the street authority to carry out any function under this Order which relates to the street in question; and

(b) contain such terms as to payment and otherwise as the parties consider appropriate.

New road crossings

17.—(1) Where by virtue of the creation of a highway or other road after the day on which application was made for this Order under section 6 (applications for orders under sections 1 and 3) of the 1992 Act, any authorised tramroad would cross that highway or road, then the promoter may construct the tramroad so as to carry it on the level across the highway or road.

(2) The promoter may provide, maintain and operate at or near any new road crossing such protective equipment as the Health and Safety Executive may in writing approve.

(3) Any traffic sign placed pursuant to this article on or near a highway or other road to which the public has access is to be treated for the purposes of section 64(4)(4) (general provisions as to traffic signs) of the 1984 Act as having been placed as provided by that Act.

(4) Without limitation on the scope of article 9 (power to alter layout, etc., of streets), the promoter may in the exercise of the powers of this article alter the level of any highway or road referred to in paragraph (1).

(5) The highway authority may enter into agreements with the promoter with respect to the construction and maintenance of any new road crossing; and such an agreement may contain such terms as to payment or otherwise as the parties consider appropriate.

(6) In this article—

“new road crossing” means the place at which an authorised tramroad crosses a highway or other road on the level under the powers conferred by this article; and

(a) the promoter serves on the relevant owner of a building a notice requesting the owner’s consent to the affixing of specified apparatus to the building; and

(b) the relevant owner does not within the period of 56 days beginning with the date upon which the notice is served give consent unconditionally or give it subject to conditions or refuse it,

the consent is deemed to have been withheld.

(6) Where, in the opinion of the promoter, a requirement temporarily to remove any apparatus affixed to a building under this article during any reconstruction, demolition or repair of the building is not reasonably necessary for that purpose, the promoter may refer the matter to an arbitrator under article 66 (arbitration), who may either allow the apparatus to be temporarily removed or may order that it must not be temporarily removed.

(7) The promoter must pay compensation to the owners and occupiers of the building for any loss or damage sustained by them by reason of the exercise of the powers conferred by paragraphs (1) and (5)(b); and any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation, or as to the amount of the compensation, is determined under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act.

(b) in relation to any other building, means the person for the time being receiving the rack rent of the building whether on the person’s own account or as agent or trustee for any other person, or who would so receive it if the building were let at a rack rent.

Discharge of water

(2) Any dispute arising from the exercise of the powers conferred by paragraph (1) to connect to or use a public sewer or drain is to be determined as if it were a dispute under section 106 (right to communicate with public sewers) of the Water Industry Act 1991(5).

(3) The promoter must not discharge any water into any watercourse, public sewer or drain except with the consent of the authority to which it belongs; and such consent may be given subject to such terms and conditions as the authority may reasonably impose but must not be unreasonably withheld.

(4) The promoter must not make any opening into any public sewer or drain except in accordance with plans approved by, and under the superintendence (if provided) of, the authority to which the sewer or drain belongs, but such approval must not be unreasonably withheld.

(5) The promoter must not, in the exercise of the powers conferred by this article, damage or interfere with the bed or banks of any watercourse forming part of a main river.

(6) The promoter must take such steps as are reasonably practicable to secure that any water discharged into a watercourse or public sewer or drain under the powers conferred by this article is as free as may be practicable from gravel, soil or other solid substance or oil or matter in suspension or any other potentially polluting material.

(7) Nothing in this article overrides the requirement for an environmental permit under regulation 12(1)(b) (requirement for environmental permit) of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016(6).

(8) In this article—

(b) “watercourse” includes all docks, rivers, streams, ditches, drains, cuts, culverts, dykes, sluices, sewers and passages through which water flows, except a public sewer or drain; and

(c) other expressions used both in this article and in the Water Resources Act 1991(8) have the same meaning as in that Act.

Safeguarding works to buildings

20.—(1) Subject to the following provisions of this article, the promoter may at its own expense and from time to time carry out such safeguarding works to any building lying within the Order limits as the promoter considers to be necessary or expedient.

(2) Safeguarding works may be carried out—

(a) at any time before or during the construction, in the vicinity of the building, of any part of the authorised works (other than works authorised by this article); or

(b) after the completion of the construction of that part of the authorised works (other than works authorised by this article), at any time up to the end of the period of 5 years beginning with the day on which that part of the authorised works is first opened for use.

(3) For the purpose of determining how the functions under this article are to be exercised the promoter may (subject to paragraph (5)) enter and survey any building falling within paragraph (1) and any land within its curtilage.

(4) For the purpose of carrying out safeguarding works under this article to a building the promoter may (subject to paragraphs (5) and (6))—

(a) enter the building and any land within its curtilage; and

(b) where the works cannot be carried out reasonably conveniently without entering land adjacent to the building, enter the adjacent land (but not any building erected on it).

(5) Before exercising—

(a) a right under paragraph (1) to carry out safeguarding works to a building;

(b) a right under paragraph (3) to enter a building and any within its curtilage;

(c) a right under paragraph (4)(a) to enter a building or land and any land within its curtilage; or

(d) a right under paragraph (4)(b) to enter land,

the promoter must, except in the case of emergency, serve on the owners and occupiers of the building or land not less than 14 days’ notice of its intention to exercise that right and in a case falling within sub-paragraph (a) or (c), specifying the safeguarding works proposed to be carried out.

(6) Where notice is served under paragraph (5)(a), (c) or (d), the owner or occupier of the building or land concerned may, by serving a counter-notice within the period of 10 days beginning with the day on which the notice was served, require the question whether it is necessary or expedient to carry out the safeguarding works or to enter the building or land to be referred to arbitration under article 66 (arbitration).

(7) The promoter must compensate the owners and occupiers of any building or land in relation to which the powers of this article have been exercised for any loss or damage arising to them by reason of the exercise of those powers.

(8) Where—

(a) safeguarding works are carried out under this article to a building; and

(b) within the period of 5 years beginning with the day on which the part of the authorised works constructed within the vicinity of the building is first opened for use, it appears that the safeguarding works are inadequate to protect the building against damage caused by the construction or operation of that part of the works,

the promoter must compensate the owners and occupiers of the building for any damage sustained by them.

(9) Without affecting article 65 (no double recovery), nothing in this article relieves the promoter from any liability to pay compensation under section 10(2)(9) (further provision as to compensation for injurious affection) of the 1965 Act.

(10) Any compensation payable under paragraph (7) or (8) is to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act.

Planning permission

22.—(1) Planning permission which is deemed by a direction under section 90(2A)(10) (development with government authorisation) of the 1990 Act to be granted in relation to the authorised works is to be treated as specific planning permission for the purposes of section 264(3)(a) (cases in which land is to be treated as operational land for the purposes of that Act) of that Act.

Power to survey and investigate land, etc.

23.—(1) The promoter may for the purposes of this Order—

(a) survey or investigate any land within the Order limits, any street along which any authorised street tramway is authorised to be laid and any street having a junction with such a street;

(a) must, if so required, before or after entering the land produce written evidence of the person’s authority to do so; and

(b) may take onto the land such vehicles and equipment as are necessary to carry out the survey or investigation or to make the trial holes.

(4) No trial holes are to be made under this article in a carriageway or footway without the consent of the street authority, but such consent must not be unreasonably withheld.

(5) The promoter must pay compensation for any damage occasioned, by the exercise of the powers conferred by this article, to the owners and occupiers of the land, such compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act.

(6) Nothing in this article overrides the requirement to obtain scheduled monument consent under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979(11).

(4) When considering what measures are required under paragraph (3) the promoter must have particular regard to the character and usage of the street or other place and to those who could reasonably be expected to use it.

(5) Where the authorised street tramway has been constructed in a street, works by any person which affect or are likely to affect the promoter’s obligations under paragraph (3), including works to any street surfaces and works affecting any equipment or apparatus placed in the street under article 10 (power to keep apparatus in streets) must not be carried out without the consent of the promoter, which may be given subject to such reasonable terms and conditions as the promoter may require but must not be unreasonably withheld.
