After the date on which this Order comes into force the council and any person authorised by the council may interfere with the enjoyment of any right of navigation to the extent only that such interference is necessary for the purposes of constructing, using and maintaining a bridge over the navigable waters of the White Cart River.

The bridge referred to in paragraph (1) above shall consist of a single span steel symmetric bowstring arched bridge with a reinforced concrete/steel deck supported on a piled foundation system and shall link the west and east banks of the White Cart River at the points shown on the deposited plan or thereabouts and provide headway of 3.80 metres minimum above mean high water ordinary spring tide at the lowest point of the bridge.

After the date on which construction of the bridge referred to in paragraph (1) above is completed any right of navigation on the affected area shall be enjoyed only by persons and vessels capable of passing safely beneath, and without interference with, that bridge.
