These Rules, which apply in relation to England and Wales, set out the written representations procedure or oral hearing procedure to be followed in respect of an application for a necessary wayleave or a reference for an order for the felling or lopping of trees or shrubs. The Secretary of State has power to grant a necessary wayleave to enable an electricity company to install and keep installed an electric line on, under or over any land in accordance with paragraph 6(1) of Schedule 4 to the Electricity Act 1989. Before granting the necessary wayleave, the Secretary of State must afford the owner or occupier of the land an opportunity of being heard.
