From time to time the Commission will require access to the Pow in order to carry out its functions, for example, to assess what repair/improvement work needs to be undertaken or carry out works to strengthen the banks of the Pow. The Bill gives the Commission a statutory right of access to the Pow over the benefited land and land within six metres of the top of a bank of any part of the Pow (“affected land”), for any purpose connected with the Commission’s functions, rights or obligations under the Bill.
