Minor works

(1) The Secretary may authorize the carrying out of any works, including works
carried on outside the boundaries of the scheme-

   (a)  which, in his opinion are minor in respect of any physical or
        structural operations involved;

   (b)  which are required for the purposes of the scheme; and

   (c)  for which the only powers required to be exercised by him are-

        (i)    to authorize the closure of a road which, in his opinion,
               serves no useful purpose;

               exceeding 14 days in any period of 3 months;

        (iii)  to authorize the closure of part of the width of a road to use
               but not to such extent as will interfere unreasonably with the
               normal flow of traffic on that road and for no longer than is
               reasonably necessary to carry out the works.

(2) The Secretary may, where the exercise of any of the powers specified in
subsection (1)(c)(i), (ii) or (iii) is required for the carrying out of any
works described in subsection (1), exercise any such powers for the carrying
out of the works.
