(4) In its application to the discharge of water into the river, article 20 (discharge of water) has effect subject to the terms of any conditions attached to a consent given under this paragraph.

7.  The Harbour Authority must not, in exercise of the powers conferred by article 20 (discharge of water), damage or interfere with the beds or banks of any watercourse forming part of the river unless such damage or interference is approved as a tidal work under this Order or is otherwise approved in writing by the Conservancy Authority.

Obstruction in river

8.  If any pile, stump or other obstruction to navigation becomes exposed in the course of constructing any tidal work (other than a pile, stump or other obstruction on the site of a structure comprised in any permanent work), the Harbour Authority, as soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of notice in writing from the Conservancy Authority requiring such action, must remove it from the river or, if it is not reasonably practicable to remove it—

(a)cut the obstruction off at such level below the bed of the river as the Conservancy Authority may reasonably direct; or

(b)take such other steps to make the obstruction safe as the Conservancy Authority may reasonably require.

Removal etc. of the Conservancy Authority moorings and buoys

9.  If—

(a)by reason of the construction of any tidal work it is reasonably necessary for the Conservancy Authority to incur reasonable costs in temporarily or permanently altering, removing, re-siting, repositioning or reinstating existing moorings or aids to navigation (including navigation marks or lights) owned by the Conservancy Authority, or laying down and removing substituted moorings or buoys, or carrying out dredging operations for any such purpose, not being costs which it would have incurred for any other reason; and

(b)the Conservancy Authority gives to the Harbour Authority not less than 28 days’ notice of its intention to incur such costs, and takes into account any representations which the Harbour Authority may make in response to the notice within 14 days of the receipt of the notice,

the Harbour Authority must pay the costs reasonably so incurred by the Conservancy Authority.

Navigational lights, buoys, etc.

10.  In addition to any requirement under articles 26 (lights on tidal works etc. during construction) and 28 (permanent lights on tidal works), the Harbour Authority, at or near every tidal work, and any other work of which the Harbour Authority is in possession in exercise of any of the powers conferred by this Order (being in either case a work which is below mean high water level forming part of the river), must exhibit such lights, lay down such buoys and take such other steps for preventing danger to navigation as the Conservancy Authority may from time to time reasonably require.

Removal of temporary works

11.  On completion of the construction of any part of a permanent authorised work, the Harbour Authority must as soon as practicable remove—

(a)any temporary tidal work carried out only for the purposes of that part of the permanent work; and

(b)any materials, plant and equipment used for such construction,

and must make good the site to the reasonable satisfaction of the Conservancy Authority.

Protective action

12.—(1) If any tidal work—

(a)is constructed otherwise than in accordance with the requirements of this Part of this Schedule or with any condition in an approval given pursuant to paragraph 3(4); or

(b)during construction gives rise to sedimentation, scouring, currents or wave action detrimental to traffic in, or the flow or regime of, the river,

then the Conservancy Authority may by notice in writing require the Harbour Authority at the Harbour Authority’s own expense to comply with the remedial requirements specified in the notice.

(2) The requirements that may be specified in a notice given under sub-paragraph (1) are—

(a)in the case of a tidal work to which sub-paragraph (1)(a) applies, such requirements as may be specified in the notice for the purpose of giving effect to the requirements of—

(i)this Part of this Schedule; or

(ii)the condition that has been breached; or

(b)in any case within sub-paragraph (1)(b), such requirements as may be specified in the notice for the purpose of preventing, mitigating or making good the sedimentation, scouring, currents or wave action so far as required by the needs of traffic in, or the flow or regime of, the river.

(3) If the Harbour Authority does not comply with a notice under sub-paragraph (1), or is unable to do so, the Conservancy Authority may in writing require the Harbour Authority to—

(a)remove, alter or pull down the tidal work, and where the tidal work is removed to restore the site of that work (to such extent as the Conservancy Authority reasonably requires) to its former condition; or

(b)take such other action as the Conservancy Authority may reasonably specify for the purpose of remedying the non-compliance to which the notice relates.

(4) If a tidal work gives rise to environmental impacts over and above those anticipated by any environmental document, the Harbour Authority, in compliance with its duties under any enactment and, in particular, under section 48A of the Harbours Act 1964(1), must take such action as is necessary to prevent or mitigate those environmental impacts and in doing so must consult and seek to agree the necessary measures with the Conservancy Authority.

(5) If the Conservancy Authority becomes aware that any tidal work is causing an environmental impact over and above those anticipated by any environmental document, the Conservancy Authority must notify the Harbour Authority of that environmental impact, the reasons why the Conservancy Authority believes that the environmental impact is being caused by the tidal work and of measures that the Conservancy Authority reasonably believes are necessary to counter or mitigate that environmental impact.

(6) The Harbour Authority must implement the measures that the Conservancy Authority has notified to the Harbour Authority or must implement such other measures as the Harbour Authority believes are necessary to counter the environmental impact identified, giving reasons to the Conservancy Authority as to why it has implemented such other measures.

Abandoned or decayed works

13.—(1) If any tidal work or any other work of which the Harbour Authority is in possession in exercise of any of the powers conferred by this Order (being in either case a work which is below mean high water level) is abandoned or falls into decay, the Conservancy Authority may by notice in writing require the Harbour Authority to take such reasonable steps as may be specified in the notice either to repair or restore the work, or any part of it, or to remove the work and (to such extent as the Conservancy Authority reasonably requires) to restore the site to its former condition.

(2) If any tidal work is in such condition that it is, or is likely to become, a danger to or an interference with navigation in the river, the Conservancy Authority may by notice in writing require the Harbour Authority to take such reasonable steps as may be specified in the notice—

(a)to repair and restore the work or part of it; or

(b)if the Harbour Authority so elects, to remove the tidal work and (to such extent as the Conservancy Authority reasonably requires) to restore the site to its former condition.

(3) If after such reasonable period as may be specified in a notice under this paragraph the Harbour Authority has failed to begin taking steps to comply with the requirements of the notice, or after beginning has failed to make reasonably expeditious progress towards their implementation, the Conservancy Authority may carry out the works specified in the notice and any expenditure reasonably incurred by it in so doing is recoverable from the Harbour Authority.

Facilities for navigation

14.—(1) The Harbour Authority must not in the exercise of the powers conferred by this Order interfere with any marks, lights or other navigational aids in the river without the agreement of the Conservancy Authority, and must ensure that access to such aids remains available during and following construction of any tidal works.

(2) The Harbour Authority must provide at any tidal works, or must afford reasonable facilities at such works (including an electricity supply) for the Conservancy Authority to provide at the Harbour Authority’s cost, from time to time, such navigational lights, signals, radar or other apparatus for the benefit, control and direction of navigation of users of the river in general as the Conservancy Authority may deem necessary by reason of the construction of any tidal works, and must ensure that access remains available to apparatus during and following construction of such works.

(3) The Harbour Authority must comply with the directions of the harbour master from time to time with regard to the lighting on the tidal works or within the harbour, or the screening of such lighting, so as to ensure safe navigation on the river.

Survey of riverbed

15.—(1) Before the commencement of construction of the first tidal work to be constructed following approval under article 23 (tidal works not to be executed without approval of the Secretary of State), the Conservancy Authority may, at the Harbour Authority’s reasonable expense, carry out a survey of such parts of the river as might be affected by sedimentation, scouring, currents or wave action that might result from the construction of such of the authorised works as would constitute tidal works if they were to be constructed, for the purposes of establishing the condition of the river at that time.

(2) Before the commencement of construction of any other tidal work approved under article 23, the Conservancy Authority may, at the Harbour Authority’s reasonable expense, carry out a survey of such parts of the river as might be affected by sedimentation, scouring, currents or wave action resulting from that tidal work for the purpose of establishing the condition of the river at that time.

(3) The Conservancy Authority may carry out such surveys of the river as are reasonably required during the construction of any tidal work to ascertain the effect of that tidal work on the river and the Conservancy Authority must make available to the Harbour Authority the results of any such survey in electronic and paper format.

(4) After completion of, respectively, any tidal work and all the tidal works constructed under this Order, the Conservancy Authority may, at the Harbour Authority’s reasonable expense, carry out a further survey of the parts of the river which were surveyed prior to the construction of that work, or as the case may be a survey of the completed tidal works as so constructed, for the purpose of establishing the condition of the river and the effect that the tidal work is, or as the case may be the tidal works are, having on navigation, the flow and the regime of the river and the exercise of the Conservancy Authority’ functions.

(5) The Conservancy Authority must not under this paragraph carry out a survey of any part of the river as respects which the Harbour Authority has provided to the Conservancy Authority survey material which the Conservancy Authority is reasonably satisfied establishes the condition of the river, and in the case of a survey under sub-paragraph (4), the effect of the tidal work, or as the case may be the tidal works.

Sedimentation, etc.: remedial action

16.—(1) This paragraph applies if any part of the river becomes subject to sedimentation, scouring, currents or wave action which—

(a)is, during the period beginning with the commencement of the construction of that tidal work and ending with the expiration of 10 years after the date on which all the tidal works constructed under this Order are completed, wholly or partly caused by a tidal work; and

(b)for the safety of navigation or for the protection of works in the river, should in the reasonable opinion of the Conservancy Authority be removed or made good.

(2) The Harbour Authority must either—

(a)pay to the Conservancy Authority any additional expense to which the Conservancy Authority may reasonably be put in dredging the river to remove the sedimentation or in making good the scouring so far as (in either case) it is attributable to the tidal work; or

(b)carry out the necessary dredging at its own expense and subject to the prior approval of the Conservancy Authority, such prior approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

and the reasonable expenses payable by the Harbour Authority under this paragraph include any additional expenses accrued or incurred by the Conservancy Authority in carrying out surveys or studies in connection with the implementation of this paragraph.
