Regulation 13 Enforcement

If a developer carries out harbour works in respect of which consent has been refused under regulation 10 or 11 or in contravention of a condition subject to which consent was granted, the appropriate Authority may serve notice in writing on the developer requiring him, within such period (not being less than 30 days) as may be specified in the notice, to remove the works and reinstate the site or to make such alterations thereto as may be so specified, or, if it appears to the appropriate Authority urgently necessary to do so, it may itself remove or alter the works and reinstate the site.

If within the period specified in any notice under paragraph (1) the developer fails to comply with it, the appropriate Authority may itself remove or alter the works and reinstate the site as specified in the notice.

Where the appropriate Authority removes or alters works and reinstates a site under paragraph (1) or (2), it shall be entitled to recover the expense, as certified by it, from the developer.

If the developer no longer owns, occupies or enjoys any use of the harbour works when the appropriate Authority decides to serve a notice under paragraph (1), the notice may be served on any other person who for the time being owns, occupies or enjoys any use of the harbour works, and the references to the developer in paragraph (2), and in paragraph (3) in relation to any action taken by the appropriate Authority under paragraph (2), shall in that case have effect as a reference to the person on whom the notice is served.
