Without prejudice to the scope of paragraph (1), the undertaker may use any street or public right of way where the use has been prohibited or restricted under the powers conferred by this article and within the Order limits as a temporary working site.

The undertaker must provide reasonable access for non-motorised users (including pedestrians) going to or from premises abutting a street or public right of way affected by the temporary alteration, diversion, prohibition of use or restriction of use of a street under this article if there would otherwise be no such access, and ensure that relevant provision is made for residents to park and for services to access properties which may be affected by the temporary alteration, diversion, prohibition of use or restriction of use of a street or public right of way under this article.

The powers conferred by paragraph (1) must not be exercised without the consent of the street authority which may attach reasonable conditions to any consent.

Any person who suffers loss by the suspension of any private right of way under this article is entitled to compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act.

This article does not remove the requirement for the undertaker to obtain any order required under sections 1, 9 or 22BB of the 1984 Act (traffic regulation orders outside Greater London) (experimental traffic orders) (traffic regulation byways etc. on National Parks in England and Wales).
