Article 61 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 Authority 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 port undertaking is deemed to be within the area of North Tyneside Council or South Tyneside 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.
