The Ouseburn Barrage Order 2007

An application has been made to the Secretary of State in accordance with the Transport and Works (Applications and Objections Procedure) (England and Wales) Rules 20001 made under sections 6, 6A, 7 and 10 of the Transport and Works Act 19922 (“the 1992 Act”) for an Order under sections 3(1)(b) and 5 of the 1992 Act.

The Secretary of State caused an inquiry to be held for the purposes of the application pursuant to section 11 of the 1992 Act.

The Secretary of State, having considered the objections made and not withdrawn and the report of the person who held the inquiry, has determined to make an Order giving effect to the proposals comprised in the application with modifications which in his opinion do not make any substantial change in the proposals.

The Secretary of State is satisfied that the provision of an alternative right of way for the street mentioned in Schedule 3 (street to be stopped up for which no substitute is to be provided) to this Order is not required.

The Secretary of State is of the opinion that the primary object of this Order cannot be achieved by means of an Order under the Harbours Act 19643.

Notice of the Secretary of State’s determination was published in the London Gazette on 6th February 2007.
