(2) If the facilities and rights to be afforded by the undertaker and agreed with the statutory


undertaker under paragraph 7(1) in respect of any alternative apparatus, and the terms and conditions subject to which those facilities and rights are to be granted, are in the opinion of the arbitrator less favourable on the whole to the statutory undertaker in question 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 arbitrator shall make such provision for the payment of compensation by the undertaker to that statutory undertaker as appears to the arbitrator to be reasonable having regard to all the circumstances of the particular case.


Retained apparatus: protection: gas undertakers 7.—(1) Not less than 56 days before commencing the execution of any works authorised by this


Order that are near to, or will or may affect, any apparatus the removal of which has not been required by the undertaker under paragraph 5(2) or otherwise, the undertaker shall submit to the statutory undertaker in question a plan.


(2) In relation to works which will or may be situated on, over, under or within 15 metres


measured in any direction of any apparatus, or (wherever situated) impose any load directly upon any apparatus or involve embankment works within 15 metres of any apparatus, the plan to be submitted to the statutory undertaker under sub-paragraph (1) shall be detailed including a material statement and describing—


(a) the exact position of the works; (b) the level at which these are proposed to be constructed or renewed;


(c) the manner of their construction or renewal including details of excavation, positioning of plant etc.;


(d) the position of all apparatus; and


(e) by way of detailed drawings, every alteration proposed to be made to or close to any such apparatus.


(3) The undertaker shall not commence the construction or renewal of any works to which sub-


paragraph (1) or (2) applies until the statutory undertaker has given written approval of the plan so submitted.


(4) Any approval of the statutory undertaker required under sub-paragraph (3)—


(a) may be given subject to reasonable conditions for any purpose mentioned in sub- paragraph (5) or (7);


(b) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (5) In relation to a work to which sub-paragraph (1) or (2) applies, the statutory undertaker may


require such modifications to be made to the plans as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of securing its system against interference or risk of damage or for the purpose of providing or securing proper and convenient means of access to any apparatus provided that such modifications are made within a period of 56 days beginning with the date on which the plan under sub- paragraph (1) is submitted to it. For the avoidance of doubt, provided that any further iterations of the plan submitted to the statutory undertaker for approval as a result of modifications required under this paragraph are not materially different to the modifications previously made by the statutory undertaker, any further required modifications will be made by the statutory undertaker as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter and in any event within 21 days of receipt of any further plans.


(6) Works executed under this Order shall be executed only in accordance with the plan,


submitted under sub-paragraph (1) or as relevant sub paragraph (2), as amended from time to time by agreement between the undertaker and the statutory undertaker and in accordance with such reasonable requirements as may be made in accordance with sub-paragraph (5) or (7) by the statutory undertaker for the alteration or otherwise for the protection of the apparatus, or for securing access to it, and the statutory undertaker shall be entitled to watch and inspect the execution of those works.
