(intrusive or non-intrusive) or small-scale works of a modest and
uncomplicated nature. The Basic Asset Protection Agreement will
allow works to commence on-site ahead of the formal lease
agreement.
 
The Basic Asset Protection
Agreement also allows Network Rail to begin Clearance Approval.

consults with Network Rail stakeholders.  After Clearance Approval & Network Change the
lease can then be granted.
