Article 2 Port boundary

For the purposes of the definition of “port” in regulation 2 of the Port Security Regulations 2009 M1, the boundary of the Port of Plymouth is defined as follows.

The boundary is generally shown by the inner edge of the red line on the plan in Part 1 of Schedule 1.

The north western limit of the boundary is a line drawn on a bearing of 180� (True) from the point marked “A” (50�21.90'N, 04�10.68'W) on the plan in Part 1 of Schedule 1 to where that line meets the line of mean high water springs at the point marked “B” on that plan.

The north eastern limit of the boundary (also shown on Inset Plan 6) runs from the line of mean high water springs on the east bank of the Cattewater, along the centre of Laira Bridge to the line of mean high water springs on the west bank of the Cattewater.

Where the red line crosses the water from the point marked “I” on the plan in Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the point marked “J” on that plan, the boundary follows the line of mean high water springs across the sluices at the eastern extremity of Hooe Lake.

Where the red line crosses the water from the point marked “K” on the plan in Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the point marked “L” on that plan, the boundary follows the line of mean high water springs across the lock gate entrance to Sutton Harbour.

As to the parts of the boundary included in the rectangles marked “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5” and “6” on the plan in Part 1 of Schedule 1, the boundary is more particularly shown by the red lines on each of the corresponding inset plans, in Part 2 of Schedule 1, headed respectively “Inset Plan 1”, “Inset Plan 2”, “Inset Plan 3”, “Inset Plan 4”, “Inset Plan 5” and “Inset Plan 6”.

Where the red line runs along a beach or foreshore, the boundary runs along the edge of the land on that beach or foreshore which is below the level of mean high water springs.

The seaward limit of the boundary is a line starting where a line drawn on a bearing of 180� (True) from the point marked “C” on the plan in Part 1 of Schedule 1 (the ruined chapel on Rame Head) meets the line of mean high water springs at the point marked “D” on that plan, running thence to the point marked “F” on that plan (a point on a bearing of 175� (True), 1.25 nautical miles from the point marked “E” on that plan (Rame Church)), thence to Shag Stone at the point marked “G” on that plan and thence on a bearing of 90� (True) to where it meets the line of mean high water springs at the point marked “H” on that plan.
