The Cambridgeshire Guided Busway Order 2005

5.—(1) The undertaker shall from the commencement of the construction of the specified works maintain in good repair and condition and free from obstruction any drainage work which is situated within the limits of deviation and on land owned by the undertaker or which it otherwise has control of or on land held by the undertaker for the purposes of or in connection with the specified works, whether or not the drainage work is constructed under the powers of the Order or is already in existence.

(2) If any such work which the undertaker is liable to maintain is not maintained to the reasonable satisfaction of the drainage authority concerned, that drainage authority may by notice in writing require the undertaker to repair and restore the work, or any part thereof, or (if the undertaker so elects and the drainage authority in writing consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to remove the work and restore the site to its former condition, to such extent and within such limits as the drainage authority concerned reasonably required.

(3) If, within a reasonable period being not less than 28 days beginning with the date on which a notice in respect of any work is served under sub-paragraph (2) on the undertaker, the undertaker has failed to begin to take steps to comply with the reasonable requirements of the notice and has not thereafter made reasonably expeditious progress towards their implementation, the drainage authority concerned may do anything necessary for such compliance and may recover the expenditure reasonably incurred by it in doing so from that person.

(4) In the event of any dispute as to the reasonableness of a notice served under sub-paragraph (2), the drainage authority concerned shall not, except in a case of emergency, exercise the powers of sub-paragraph (3) until the dispute has been finally determined.
