Details
If made, the proposed order would modernise and consolidate the statutory harbour powers applying in relation to Falmouth Harbour. The proposed order provides for clarity on the limits of the Harbour; the establishment of an advisory body or bodies consisting of harbour stakeholders with which the applicant is required to consult on material matters; modernised powers of management and control of the Harbour to vest in the applicant including provisions relating to powers of general direction and special direction, the making of byelaws, navigational safety, conservation, dredging, moorings, bunkering, levying of charges and the use of harbour revenue; and powers to vest in the applicant which include the power to borrow, to establish a reserve fund, to develop or dispose of land, and to grant tenancies.
To facilitate the above, article 60 of the proposed order revokes the Acts and Orders set out in Schedule 2 to the proposed order and amends the Orders set out in articles 57 to 59 of the proposed order.
The statutory 42-day public consultation on the HRO starts on 29 August 2023 and ends on 9 October 2023. Any person desiring to make an objection or representation concerning the application should write to:
Marine Licensing Team Marine Management Organisation Lancaster House Hampshire Court Newcastle Upon Tyne NE4 7YH
