Paragraph 20 Licence conditions prior to commencement of the licensed activitiesI1

The licence holder shall prior to the commencement of any stage of the licensed activities agree in writing with the MMO a construction monitoring plan (or, if so agreed with the MMO, construction monitoring plans) for that stage; and no stage of the licensed activities may commence until such a plan or plans for that stage have been agreed.

Any construction monitoring plan shall include but not be limited to a pre-construction, construction and post-construction plan for monitoring the laying of the pipeline, consisting of trawl surveys within the transshipment area and barge approach routes for the delivery of rock armouring, and surveys of the pipeline corridor to ensure that the pipeline does not become exposed.

The licence holder shall carry out any stage of the licensed activities in accordance with any approved construction monitoring plan for that stage.
