Explanatory note

Schedule 4 to the Coast Protection Act 1949 excludes certain waters for the purposes of definitions of “sea” and “seashore” in the Act but provides that the Schedule may be varied by regulations.

Paragraph 7 of the Schedule excludes that part of the River Wear above a line drawn from the seaward end of the Roker Pier to the seaward end of the South West Breakwater Pier. These regulations vary the Schedule by substituting a new paragraph 7 which sets new boundaries reducing the part of the River Wear which is excluded.
