Article 17 Right to dredgeI1

The undertaker may, for the purposes of constructing, operating and maintaining the authorised development, from time to time deepen, dredge, scour, cleanse, alter and improve so much of the bed, shores and channels of the land within the Order limits as adjoin or are near to the authorised development and may use, appropriate or dispose of the materials (other than wreck within the meaning of Part 9 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995^f1) from time to time dredged by it.

No such materials are to be laid down or deposited in contravention of the provisions of any enactment as respects the disposal of waste or dredged arisings.

The undertaker must consult with AB Ports before exercising the rights conferred on it by this article.

This provision does not confer any power on the undertaker to deposit dredged arisings in any place and is subject always to the provisions of article 16 of this Order.
