The Street Works (Sharing of Costs of Works) (England) Regulations 2000
These Regulations replace and revoke (as respects England) the Street Works (Sharing of Costs of Works) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/1690) (“the 1992 Regulations”), which make provision for the sharing of costs between the highway, bridge or transport authority (“the authority”) and the undertaker where the undertaker’s apparatus in a street is affected by major highway, bridge or transport works (“major works”) and measures (“diversionary works”) are required to protect that apparatus. The principal change effected by the Regulations is that the undertaker’s share of the costs of diversionary works required in the case of certain major transport works is now 7.5 per cent. rather than the 18 per cent. provided for by the 1992 Regulations. There are also some minor and drafting changes.
