(1) Where any provision of this order requires the consent or approval of the grantor before an action of any particular kind is taken, the consent or approval is deemed to be granted for any action of that kind properly and reasonably required to be taken for the purposes of the day to day or other activities of the grantee to carry on its electricity generation business.
(2) Where—
(a) Any provision of this order requires the consent or approval of the grantor before an action of any particular kind is taken; and

it must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or granted subject to unreasonable conditions, or subject to the payment of money or other consideration.

(b) Must immediately, at its own cost, remedy any substantial damage caused by the removal.
-
The grantee must use all reasonable endeavours to cause as little disturbance and disruption as possible to the carrying on of the normal business operations of the grantor; although the grantor accepts that this provision does not prevent, restrict, or hinder the grantee from carrying out its business in a normal manner consistent with the grantee’s rights.
-
The grantee does not have to fence any of the servient land unless it is required as a reasonable condition of the grantor when granting any consent under this order.
-
(1) All improvements connected with the grantee’s rights remain in the ownership of the grantee until they are removed by the grantee or on the cessation or surrender of the grantee’s rights, whereupon ownership vests and passes to the grantor unless they are in the process of being removed by the grantee at the time of the cessation or surrender.

The grantee may transfer or assign the grantee’s rights as to the whole or any parts of the servient land; and in that case, when the assignee or transferee becomes liable under the easements vested by this order (or any of them) or notifies the grantor that it has assumed the relevant obligations of the grantee under the easements concerned, the easements concerned will cease to be binding upon the assignor or transferor in respect of the relevant parts of the servient land (or if applicable, the whole of the servient land) but without prejudice to the assignor’s or transferor’s liability for any antecedent breach of covenant.
-
For the purposes of clause 12 of this Schedule,—
