(a) subject to sub-paragraph (3) a person has given notice to the Secretary of State under paragraph 3(1)(a) of Schedule 3 to the 1964 Act, but the Secretary of State has not responded under paragraph 5 or 6 of that Schedule before 1st April 2018; or
(b) a person has made an application for either a harbour revision order or a harbour empowerment order under Schedule 3 to the 1964 Act which has not been finally determined before 1st April 2018.
