(b)a stone mattress may be placed within the drainage channel created under (a) over a distance of 20 metres seawards of the outfall pipes; and

(c)a pumping station may be constructed such that its seaward extent is above the stone mattress.

(2) Works outside the cofferdam must be undertaken using land based plant operating from a berm formed within the south-eastern return wall of the quay.

Compensation site creation

8.  The licence holder is permitted to remove a 250 metre section of the existing flood wall to create the Cherry Cobb Sands breach under the following conditions—

(a)the Cherry Cobb Sands breach must not be created until a new flood defence has been constructed landward of the existing flood defence;

(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(2), 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.

34.—(1) Where under this Part of this Schedule Network Rail is required to give its consent or approval in respect of any matter, that consent or approval must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed but may be subject to reasonable conditions (while recognising that the engineer has sole discretion in matters relating to safety) and is subject to the condition that Network Rail complies with any relevant railway operational procedures and any obligations under its network licence or under statute.

(2) In so far as any specified work or the acquisition or use of railway property is or may be subject to railway operational procedures, Network Rail must—

(a)co-operate with the undertaker with a view to avoiding undue delay and securing conformity as between any plans approved by the engineer and requirements emanating from those procedures; and

(b)use its reasonable endeavours to avoid any conflict arising between the application of those procedures and the proper implementation of the authorised development under this Order.

35.—(1) The undertaker must not exercise the powers conferred by article 22 (authority to survey and investigate the land) or the powers conferred by section 11(3) of the 1965 Act as applied to this Order by the 2008 Act in respect of any railway property unless the exercise of such powers is with the consent of Network Rail.

(2) The undertaker must not in the exercise of the powers conferred by this Order prevent pedestrian or vehicular access to any railway property, unless preventing such access is with the consent of Network Rail.

36.—(1) The undertaker, before commencing construction of any specified work, must supply to Network Rail proper and sufficient plans of that work for the reasonable approval of the engineer and the specified work must not be commenced except in accordance with such plans as have been approved in writing by the engineer or settled by arbitration.

(2) The approval of the engineer under sub-paragraph (1) must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and if by the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the date on which such plans have been supplied to Network Rail the engineer has not intimated his disapproval of those plans and the grounds of disapproval the undertaker may serve upon the engineer written notice requiring the engineer to intimate approval or disapproval within a further period of 28 days beginning with the date upon which the engineer receives written notice from the undertaker.
