UKOP replacement facilities and rights

160.—(1) Where, in accordance with the provisions of this Part of this Schedule, the undertaker is to afford to or secure for UKOP facilities and rights in land for the construction, use, maintenance and protection of apparatus either in substitution for apparatus to be removed (or where existing rights are being sterilized), deeds of consent must be granted upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed between the undertaker and UKOP both acting reasonably and must be no less favourable on the whole to UKOP than the facilities and rights enjoyed by it previously in respect of the apparatus unless otherwise agreed by UKOP and it will be the responsibility of the undertaker to procure and/or secure the consent and entering into of such deeds and variations by all other third parties with an interest in the land at that time who are affected by such authorised works.

(2) If the facilities and rights to be afforded by the undertaker pursuant to sub-paragraph (1) above, and the terms and conditions subject to which those facilities and rights are to be granted, are less favourable on the whole to UKOP than the facilities and rights enjoyed by it in respect of the apparatus to be removed and the terms and conditions to which those facilities and rights are subject, the matter may be referred to arbitration in accordance with paragraph 166 (Arbitration) of this Part of this Schedule the arbitrator must make such provision for the payment of compensation by the undertaker to UKOP as appears to the arbitrator to be reasonable having regard to all the circumstances of the particular case.
