Commentary on provisions of the Act Schedule 22: Buildings Drain disconnections
Paragraph 3 modifies section 62 of the 1984 Act which enables the local authority to impose requirements as regards the reconstruction or disconnection of drains. Paragraph 3 removes the power of a local authority to impose requirements as regards works to drains which are carried out for Phase One purposes and substitutes a requirement to give at least 48 hours' notice to the local authority before carrying out the works. This is to enable local authorities to update their records as to the position of sewers and drains in their area.
