Article 31 Power to lease etc.I1

The Company may at any time for the purposes of the harbour lease or grant the use or occupation of, or any right or interest in, over or relating to, any lands, works, buildings, equipment or other property forming part of the harbour for such period or periods and on such terms and conditions as may be agreed between the Company and the person taking the same.

The exercise of the powers of this Order, or the carrying out of any development under permitted development rights, by any person in pursuance of a lease or grant under paragraph (1) shall be subject to the same restrictions, conditions, liabilities and obligations as would apply under this Order, or by virtue of any agreement or undertaking by the Company, if those powers were exercised, or the development carried out, by the Company; and accordingly the provisions of this Order or of any such agreement or undertaking shall, as respects any exercise of the powers of this Order or the carrying out of any permitted development rights by the lessee or grantee, have effect (where the context so permits) as if any reference in those provisions to the Company included a reference to the lessee or the grantee, as the case may be.

In this article “permitted development rights” means the planning permission granted by article 3 of, and Parts 11 and 17 of Schedule 2 to, the 1995 Order.
