Details

If made, the proposed order would modernise and consolidate the statutory harbour powers applying in relation to Salcombe Harbour (‘the Harbour’). The proposed order provides for clarity on the limits of the Harbour and the general functions of the applicant; provisions relating to the use of revenue, the establishment of a reserve fund and borrowing; provisions relating to charges; modernised powers of management and control of the Harbour to vest in the applicant including in relation to general directions, special directions and byelaws; the establishment of an advisory body or bodies consisting of stakeholders with which the applicant is required to consult on material matters; powers to vest in the applicant which include powers to develop or dispose of land, grant tenancies and for other commercial activities; powers to vest in the applicant relating to the delegation of functions, moorings, bunkering, aids to navigation, dredging, landing places, works, parking places, vehicles, wrecks, unserviceable vessels and obstructions, tidal works and the power of the applicant to prosecute or defend legal proceedings.

To facilitate the above, articles 60 and 61 of the proposed order amend the legislation set out in those articles and article 62 of the proposed order repeals and revokes the legislation set out in Schedule 2 to the proposed order.
