PLANNING (NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 1972 - SECT 81

81.(1) Where an order is made under Article 79 and immediately before the date
on which the order became operative, there was under, in, on, over, along or
across the right of way a telegraphic line belonging to or used by the Post
Office, the Post Office shall, subject to paragraph (2), have the same powers
in respect of that line as if the order had not become operative.

(2) If the Ministry requires that the telegraphic line should be altered,
paragraphs (1) to (8) of section 7 of the Telegraph Act 1878 shall apply to
the alteration, and accordingly shall have effect, subject to any necessary
modifications, as if references therein to undertakers included references to
the Ministry.

(3) If the Post Office removes the telegraphic line or any part of it and
serves a notice on the Ministry notifying the Ministry of the removal, the
Post Office shall be entitled to recover from the Ministry the expense of
providing, in substitution for the line or part and any telegraphic line
connected therewith which is rendered useless in consequence of the removal of
the line or part, a telegraphic line in such other place as the Post Office
may require.

(4) In this Article "telegraphic line" and "alter" have the same meanings as
in the Telegraph Act 1878.
