I do not think that covers this. The Bill states:

Where, in the opinion of the planning authority, an appliance, apparatus or structure for which a licence has been granted under this section ... causes an obstruction, or becomes dangerous ...

If a company has a licence to put it in a piece of infrastructure that becomes dangerous or becomes an obstruction I am sure there would be an issue, but I do not know if that covers poor-quality reinstatements that are not necessarily obstructions. One could argue they become dangerous over time, but that seems to be quite a stretch.
