This article applies to any Order land specified in Part 1 (National Grid) and Part 2 (UK Power Networks) of Schedule 8 (extinguishment of private rights and restrictive covenants relating to apparatus removed from land subject to temporary possession) and any other Order land of which National Grid takes temporary possession under article 28 (temporary use of land by National Grid) or UK Power Networks takes temporary possession under article 29 (temporary use of land by UK Power Networks).

All private rights or restrictive covenants in relation to apparatus belonging to National Grid or UK Power Networks removed from any land to which this article applies are extinguished from the date on which National Grid or UK Power Networks give up temporary possession of that land under article 28(5) and 28(6) or 29(5) and 29(6), as the case may be.

The extinguishment of rights by paragraph (2) does not give rise to any cause of action relating to the presence on or in the land of any foundations (save for those which lie less than 1.5 metres underground) referred to in article 28(5)(c) and 28(6)(c) or 29(5)(c) and 29(6)(c) (National Grid and UK Power Networks not required to remove foundations when giving up temporary possession).

Schedule 8 has effect.
