Article 33 Tidal works

In the case of injury to, or destruction or decay of, a tidal work or any part of it which presents a danger to navigation, the Commissioners must as soon as reasonably practicable notify Trinity House and the UK Hydrographic Office^f1.

A tidal work consisting of a wharf, or any part of it, forming part of the harbour undertaking is deemed to be within the area of Dorset Council or Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council (as appropriate) to the extent that it is not already within a local planning authority area.

In paragraph (2), “wharf” does not include pontoons.
