This Order empowers Portsmouth City Council as the Harbour Authority for the Portsmouth Harbour to construct a series of free floating pontoons to form ship berths and walkways to cater for the needs of tall ships visiting Portsmouth Harbour. A structural platform will be constructed on the western face of the Gunwharf Quay wall leading to a pedestrian gangway. A disabled passenger and equipment hoist will be installed at the northern end of the new berths. The Order empowers the Council to lease the works once completed.

The deposited plan and sections may be inspected during working hours of the offices of the Director of Corporate Services, Guildhall Square, Portsmouth PO1 2PX and at the offices of the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions at 76 Marsham Street, London, SW1P 4DR.
