Paragraph 47 Watercourses and drainageI1
England and Wales
No part of any impounded dock at the Port is included within the definition of “watercourse” for any purpose of this Order.
The undertaker must not without BPC’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed but which may be given subject to reasonable conditions) create any new discharges for water into any watercourse belonging to or used by BPC.
Without limitation on the scope of sub-paragraph (2), any consent given by BPC under this paragraph—
may be given subject to reasonable conditions as to the quantities of water permitted to be discharged and as to the duration of any use of the relevant watercourse by the undertaker; and
does not obviate the need for the undertaker to obtain any further consents required in relation to the activity concerned.
In the exercise of any power under article 22 (discharge of water), the undertaker must not damage or interfere with the bed or banks of any watercourse in, on, over or under BPC’s property.
