Explanatory note

This Order makes amendments to the Southern Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Order 2010 (S.I. 2010/2198) as a result of the abolition of the Borough of Poole Council, Bournemouth Borough Council and Dorset County Council (“the abolished Councils”) and the creation of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council and Dorset Council (“the new Councils”), pursuant to the Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole (Structural Changes) Order 2018 (S.I. 2018/648).

Article 2 replaces references to the abolished Councils with references to the new Councils in the list of relevant councils for the Southern Inshore Fisheries and Conservation District. It also prescribes for the new councils the number of members to be appointed to the Southern Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority and the percentage of the Authority’s expenses to be defrayed by those councils.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
