(3) The power conferred by paragraph (1) shall be exercised in a way which secures—
(a)that no more of the relevant part of the river or the relevant part of the canal is closed to navigation at any time than is necessary in the circumstances; and
(b)that, if complete closure to navigation of the relevant part of the river or the relevant part of the canal becomes necessary, all reasonable steps are taken to secure that the period of closure is kept to a minimum and that the minimum obstruction, delay or interference is caused to vessels or craft which may be using or intending to use the part so closed.
(4) In exercising the powers conferred by paragraph (1) in relation to the relevant part of the canal the promoter shall—
(a)take such reasonable steps as are necessary to ensure that—
(i)the flow of water in the canal is maintained unaltered; and

shall be entitled to be paid compensation for such loss or damage by the promoter, to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part 1 of the 1961 Act.
21.—(1) The promoter may use any watercourse or any public sewer or drain for the drainage of water in connection with the construction, operation or maintenance of the authorised works and for that purpose may lay down, take up and alter pipes and may, on any land within the Order limits, or in any street along which the authorised street tramway is authorised to be laid, make openings into, and connections with, the watercourse, sewer or drain.

(4) The promoter shall not make any opening into any public sewer or drain except—
(a)in accordance with plans approved by the person to whom the sewer or drain belongs, but such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; and
(b)where that person has been given the opportunity to supervise the making of the opening.
(5) The promoter shall 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 shall 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, oil or matter in suspension.
(7) This article does not authorise the entry into controlled waters of any matter whose entry or discharge into controlled waters is prohibited by section 85(1), (2) or (3) of the Water Resources Act 1991(2).

(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 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 which is adjacent to the building but outside its curtilage, 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 land within its curtilage;
(c)a right under paragraph (4)(a) to enter a building and land within its curtilage; or

(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 of 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 82 (arbitration).

(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 shall compensate the owners and occupiers of the building for any damage sustained by them.
(9) Without affecting article 81 (no double recovery), nothing in this article shall relieve the promoter from any liability to pay compensation under section 10(2) of the 1965 Act.

24.—(1) Planning permission which is deemed by a direction under section 90(2A) of the 1990 Act to be granted in relation to works authorised by this Order shall be treated as specific planning permission for the purposes of section 264(3)(a) of that Act (cases in which land is to be treated as operational land for the purposes of that Act).
(2) In relation to the application of paragraph (3)(c) of the Second Schedule of the Form of Tree Preservation Order set out in the Schedule to the Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation Order) Regulations 1969(4) (including that paragraph as applied by regulation 3(ii) of the Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation Order) (Amendment) and (Trees in Conservation Areas) (Exempted Cases) Regulations 1975(5), or as incorporated in any tree preservation order), any direction under section 90(2A) of the 1990 Act deeming planning permission to be granted in relation to the works authorised by this Order shall be treated as deeming the permission to have been granted on application made under Part 3 of that Act for the purposes of that Part.
(3) In relation to the application of article 5(1)(d) of the Form of Tree Preservation Order set out in the Schedule to the Town and Country Planning (Trees) Regulations 1999(6) as incorporated in any tree preservation order or as having effect by virtue of regulation 10(1)(a) of those Regulations, any direction under section 90(2A) of the 1990 Act deeming planning permission to be granted in relation to the works authorised by this Order shall not be treated as an outline planning permission.
