Without prejudice to the generality of any other protection afforded to the undertaker elsewhere in the Order, where any street is stopped up under the Order, if the undertaker has any apparatus in the street or accessed via that street the undertaker will be entitled to the same rights in respect of such apparatus as it enjoyed immediately before the stopping up and the promoter will grant to the undertaker, or will procure the granting to the statutory undertaker of, legal easements reasonably satisfactory to the specified undertaker in respect of such apparatus and access to it prior to the stopping up of any such street or highway.

Notwithstanding the temporary stopping up or diversion of any highway under the powers of article 13 (temporary prohibition or restriction of use of streets), an undertaker will be at liberty at all times to take all necessary access across any such stopped up highway and/or to execute and do all such works and things in, upon or under any such highway as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to enable it to maintain any apparatus which at the time of the stopping up or diversion was in that highway.
