Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Schedule 4 to the Coast Protection Act 1949 specifies waters which, for the purposes of Part I of the Act (coast protection), are not included in the expressions “sea” and “seashore”.

  • Under powers conferred by Schedule 4, these Regulations vary it so as to extend the area of Southampton Water, adjacent estuaries and the Lymington River covered by those expressions.
