EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations amend the Street Works (Sharing of Costs of Works) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1998 (S.R. 1998 No. 156) which make provision for the sharing of costs between the Department for Regional Development, the bridge authority or the transport authority ("the authority concerned") and the undertaker where the undertaker's apparatus in a street is affected by major road, bridge or transport works and measures are required to protect it.
Regulation 2(d) makes provision for a lower percentage (7.5 per cent rather than the 18 per cent previously applicable) of the costs of the diversionary works to be paid for by the undertaker where such works are necessitated by major transport works other than major bridge works or major road works (except those consisting of or including tunnelling or boring under a road) by inserting a new regulation 5A. The authority concerned pays the remaining 92.5 per cent of those costs.
Regulation 2(a) to (c) and (e) make consequential amendments to regulations 2, 3, 5 and 8.
