All directions and distances stated in any description of works, powers or lands shall be construed as if the words “or thereabouts” were inserted after each direction and distance. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in this Act to Work No. 1 shall be construed as a reference to the work authorised by section 4 of this Act. If there shall be any inconsistency between any plans approved, requirements made or conditions or restrictions imposed under this Act, whether by A.B. Ports, the National Rivers Authority, an arbitrator or the Secretary of State, the views of the Secretary of State or, in the absence of such views, those of the arbitrator shall prevail. Part I of the Act of 1965 (except section 4 thereof and paragraph 3 (3) of Schedule 3 thereto), in so far as it is applicable for the purposes of this Act and is not inconsistent with the provisions thereof, shall apply to the compulsory purchase of land under this Act as it applies to a compulsory purchase to which Schedule 1 to the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 applies and as if this Act were a compulsory purchase order under the said Act of 1981. In section 11 (1) of the Act of 1965 (which empowers the acquiring authority to enter on and take possession of land the subject of a notice to treat after giving not less than 14 days' notice), as so applied, for the words “fourteen days” there shall be substituted the words “three months”. The Lands Clauses Consolidation Act 1845 shall not apply to the purchase of land under this Act. Subject to the provisions of this Act, the Company may, in the line or situation shown on the deposited plan and within the limit of deviation and according to the levels shown on the deposited section, construct and maintain the following work in the county of Humberside with all necessary works and conveniences connected therewith:— Partly in the boroughs of Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes and partly on or beneath the foreshore and bed of the river adjacent thereto— Work No. 1 An outfall (1,400 metres in length), with an outlet port at its riverward extremity, commencing behind the wall of the southern bank of the river at reference point TA 25262:11853 and extending into the river in a north-north-easterly direction to reference point TA 25745:13161 and there terminating. The Company may, within the limit of deviation, from time to time shorten, reduce, alter, renew, replace, relay or reconstruct or, subject to subsection (3) below, enlarge temporarily or permanently the works. Notwithstanding anything shown on the deposited section the Company may from time to time and to such extent as may be agreed with A.B. Ports, the National Rivers Authority and the Secretary of State as being necessary, enlarge Work No. 1. Subject to the provisions of this Act, the Company may, in connection with the works, from time to time construct or place and maintain in, under or over any of the land within the limit of deviation all such works and conveniences subsidiary or ancillary to the works and all such appliances, machinery and apparatus as it may from time to time deem necessary or convenient for any purpose of, or in connection with, the works. The Company may (subject to the consent required by section 21 (Crown rights) of this Act) from time to time deepen, dredge, scour, cleanse, alter and improve the bed and foreshore of the river in the vicinity of the works, and blast any rock therein, for the purpose of constructing and maintaining the works. Any materials taken up or collected in the course of such operation shall (subject to the consent required by section 21 (Crown rights) of this Act) be the property of the Company and may be used, sold, removed, deposited or otherwise disposed of as it may think fit. No such materials shall be deposited below the level of high water, except in such places and in accordance with such conditions and restrictions as may be approved or prescribed by the Secretary of State. The Company shall not exercise the powers of this section except with the consent of A.B. Ports (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and in accordance with such reasonable conditions and restrictions as may be approved or prescribed by A.B. Ports. Any question whether consent has been unreasonably withheld or conditions or restrictions have been unreasonably imposed shall be referred to and settled by arbitration. The Company, during and for the purpose of the execution of the works, may temporarily stop up and interfere with so much of the bridleway as lies between the points marked A and B on the deposited plan and prevent all persons from passing along and using the same. In the construction of Work No. 1 the Company may deviate from the line or situation thereof shown on the deposited plan to the extent of the limit of deviation and may deviate vertically from the levels shown on the deposited section in the case of the outlet port to any extent upwards not exceeding 2 metres above the surface of the bed of the river at the time of construction but not otherwise and in the case of the works to such extent downwards as may be found necessary or convenient. A tidal work shall not be constructed, shortened, reduced, altered, renewed, replaced, relaid, reconstructed or enlarged except in accordance with plans and sections approved by the Secretary of State and subject to any conditions and restrictions imposed by the Secretary of State before the work is begun. If a tidal work is constructed, shortened, reduced, altered, renewed, replaced, relaid, reconstructed or enlarged in contravention of this section or of any condition or restriction imposed under this section— the Secretary of State may by notice in writing require the Company at its own expense to remove the tidal work or any part thereof and restore the site thereof to its former condition; and if, on the expiration of 30 days from the date when the notice is served upon the Company, it has failed to comply with the requirements of the notice, the Secretary of State may execute the works specified in the notice; or if it appears to the Secretary of State urgently necessary so to do, he may himself remove the tidal work or part of it and restore the site to its former condition; and any expenditure incurred by the Secretary of State in so doing shall be recoverable from the Company. The Secretary of State or A.B. Ports may at any time if he or A.B. Ports deems it expedient order a survey and examination of a tidal work, or of the site upon which it is proposed to construct the work, and any expenditure incurred by the Secretary of State or by A.B. Ports in any such survey and examination shall be recoverable from the Company. The Company shall at or near a tidal work during the whole time of the construction, shortening, reduction, alteration, renewal, replacement, relaying, reconstruction or enlargement thereof take such steps for the prevention of danger to navigation as the Secretary of State and A.B. Ports, or as, failing agreement between them, the Secretary of State, may from time to time direct. After the completion of a tidal work the Company shall at the outer extremity thereof take such steps for the prevention of danger to navigation as A.B. Ports may from time to time direct. If the Company fails to comply in any respect with any direction given under this section, it shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum and on conviction on indictment to a fine. Where a tidal work is abandoned, or suffered to fall into decay, the Secretary of State or A.B. Ports may by notice in writing require the Company at its own expense either to repair and restore the work, or any part thereof, or to remove the work and restore the site thereof to its former condition, to such an extent and within such limits as the Secretary of State or A.B. Ports may think proper. If Work No. 1 is abandoned or suffered to fall into decay and any part thereof on or over land above the level of high water is in such condition as to interfere, or to cause reasonable apprehension that it may interfere, with the right of navigation or other public rights over the foreshore, the Secretary of State or A.B. Ports may include that part of the work, or any portion thereof, in any notice under this section. If, on the expiration of 30 days from the date on which a notice under this section is served upon the Company, it has failed to comply with the requirements of the notice, the Secretary of State or A.B. Ports may execute the works specified in the notice, and any expenditure incurred by him or by A.B. Ports in so doing shall be recoverable from the Company. In case of injury to or destruction or decay of a tidal work, or any part thereof, the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify A.B. Ports and shall take such steps for preventing danger to navigation as A.B. Ports may from time to time direct. If the Company fails to notify A.B. Ports as required by this section or to comply in any respect with a direction given under this section, it shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum and on conviction on indictment to a fine. In proceedings for an offence under this Act it shall be a defence for the Company to prove that it took all reasonable precautions and exercised all due diligence to avoid the commission of such an offence. If in any case the defence provided by subsection (1) above involves the allegation that the commission of the offence was due to the act or default of another person, the Company shall not, without leave of the court, be entitled to rely on that defence unless, not less than seven clear days before the hearing, it has served on the prosecutor a notice in writing giving such information identifying, or assisting in the identification of, that other person as was then in its possession. So much of the works as is below the level of mean low-water springs shall be deemed to be within— the borough of Cleethorpes; and the petty sessional division of Grimsby and Cleethorpes. Subject to the provisions of this Act, the Company may purchase compulsorily and use such of the land delineated on the deposited plan and described in the deposited book of reference as it may require for the purposes of the works or any purpose connected therewith or ancillary thereto. In this section references to the purchase by the Company of new rights are references to the purchase of rights to be created in favour of the Company. The Company may, for the purposes of constructing, maintaining, altering, renewing and using the works or for the purpose of doing any other thing necessary in connection with the works, purchase compulsorily such new rights as it may require over any of the land delineated on the deposited plan and described in the deposited book of reference instead of purchasing that land under section 16 (Purchase of land) of this Act. The Act of 1965, as applied by this Act, shall have effect with the modifications necessary to make it apply to the compulsory purchase of new rights under subsection (2) above as it applies to the compulsory purchase of land so that, in appropriate contexts, references in the Act of 1965 to land are read as referring, or as including references, to the new rights or to land over which the new rights are, or are to be, exercisable, according to the requirements of the particular context. Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (3) above in relation to the purchase of new rights under subsection (2) above— Part I of the Act of 1965 shall have effect with the modifications specified in the Schedule to this Act; the enactments relating to compensation for the compulsory purchase of land shall apply with the necessary modifications as they apply to such compensation. The powers of the Company for the compulsory purchase of land and rights over land under this Act shall cease on 31st December 1996. All private rights of way over any land which may be purchased compulsorily under this Act shall be extinguished on the purchase of the land by the Company, whether compulsorily or by agreement, or on the entry on the land in pursuance of section 11 (1) of the Act of 1965, as applied by this Act, whichever is sooner. Any person who suffers loss by the extinguishment of any right under this section shall be entitled to be paid by the Company compensation to be determined in case of dispute by the tribunal. If the deposited plan or the deposited book of reference is inaccurate in its description of any land, or in its statement or description of the ownership or occupation of any land, the Company after giving not less than 10 days' notice to the owner, lessee and occupier of the land in question may apply to two justices having jurisdiction in the place where the land is situated for the correction thereof. If on any such application it appears to the justices that the misstatement or wrong description arose from mistake, the justices shall certify the fact accordingly and shall in their certificate state in what respect any matter is misstated or wrongly described. The certificate shall be deposited in the office of the Clerk of the Parliaments, and a copy thereof in the Private Bill Office of the House of Commons, and with the proper officer or chairman of a local authority with whom a copy of the deposited plan has been deposited in accordance with the Standing Orders of the Houses of Parliament, or who has the custody of any such copy so deposited; and thereupon the deposited plan and the deposited book of reference shall be deemed to be corrected according to the certificate, and it shall be lawful for the Company to take the land and execute the works in accordance with the certificate. A person with whom a copy of the certificate is deposited under this section shall keep it with the other documents to which it relates. Nothing in this Act affects prejudicially any estate, right, power, privilege, authority or exemption of the Crown and, in particular and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, nothing in this Act authorises the Company to take, use, enter upon or in any manner interfere with any land or hereditaments or any rights of whatsoever description (including any portion of the shore or bed of the sea or of any river, channel, creek, bay or estuary)— belonging to Her Majesty in right of Her Crown and under the management of the Crown Estate Commissioners, without the consent in writing of those commissioners; belonging to a government department or held in trust for Her Majesty for the purposes of a government department without the consent in writing of that government department. A consent under subsection (1) above may be given unconditionally or subject to such conditions and upon such terms as shall be considered necessary or appropriate. For the protection of A.B. Ports, the following provisions shall, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Company and A.B. Ports, have effect:— In this section— “construction” includes execution and placing, renewal, diversion or alteration and removal; and “constructed” shall be construed accordingly; and “plans” includes sections and “approved plans” means plans approved or deemed to have been approved by A.B.

Ports may remove the same, charging the Company with the reasonable expense of so doing, and the Company shall repay to A.B. Ports all such expense: The Company shall before commencing any dredging in the river under the powers of this Act except in an emergency deliver to A.B.

Ports such lighted mooring or other buoys at any deposit ground in the river which may be approved for the deposit of dredgings by the Company from the site of the works; and take all such other steps; as may be required by A.B. Ports to prevent danger to navigation: The Company shall at all reasonable times during construction of the works and thereafter allow A.B. Ports, its servants and agents, access to the works: The Company shall not acquire compulsorily under the powers of this Act the interests of A.B.

Ports, all losses, costs, charges, damages and expenses however caused which may reasonably be incurred by or occasioned to A.B. Ports by reason of or arising from or in connection with— the perusal of plans and the inspection of any of the works or the regulation of any dredging operation by A.B. Ports or its duly authorised representative; the carrying out of such surveys, inspections, tests and sampling within the river as A.B.

Ports; the construction or maintenance of any of the works or the carrying out of any dredging operation, the discharge or dispersal of effluent into the river by means of any of the works, the failure of any of the works or the undertaking by A.B. Ports of works or measures to prevent or remedy damage to any property of A.B. Ports arising from such construction, carrying out, discharge or dispersal, or failure; any act or omission of the Company or its servants or agents whilst engaged in the construction or maintenance of any of the works or the carrying out of any dredging operation; Without prejudice to the generality of sub-paragraph (a) above the Company shall indemnify A.B.

Ports would not otherwise be subject which is enforceable by proceedings before any court: Subject to the provisions of section 17 (Purchase of rights over land) of this Act, nothing in this Act shall affect prejudicially any statutory or other rights, powers or privileges vested in, or enjoyed by, A.B.

In this section “Part 11 development” means development permitted by article 3 of, and Class A in Part 11 of Schedule 2 to, the Town and Country Planning General Development Order 1988 (which permits development authorised by private Act designating specifically both the nature of the development thereby authorised and the land on which it may be carried out). Subject to the provisions of subsection (3) below, in its application to development authorised by this Act, the planning permission granted for Part 11 development shall have effect as if the authority to develop given by this Act were limited to development begun within 10 years after the passing of this Act. Subsection (2) above shall not apply to the carrying out of any development consisting of the shortening, reduction, alteration, renewal, replacement, relaying, reconstruction, enlargement, maintenance or repair of works or the substitution of new works therefor. Where under any provision of this Act any difference (other than a difference as to the meaning or construction of any such provision) is to be referred to or settled by arbitration, then such difference shall be referred to and settled by a single arbitrator to be agreed between the parties, or, failing agreement, to be appointed on the application of either party (after notice in writing to the other) by the President of the Institution of Civil Engineers. In the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965 (hereinafter in this Schedule referred to as “the 1965 Act”) for section 7 (which relates to compensation) there shall be substituted the following:— In assessing the compensation to be paid by the Company under this Act regard shall be had not only to the extent, if any, to which the value of the land over which the right is purchased is depreciated by the purchase but also to the damage, if any, to be sustained by the owner of the land by reason of injurious affection of other land of the owner by the exercise of the right. The modifications subject to which subsection (1) of section 44 of the Land Compensation Act 1973 is to have effect, as applied by subsection (2) of that section to compensation for injurious affection under this section, are that for the words ‘land is acquired or taken’ there shall be substituted ‘a right over land is purchased’ and for the words ‘acquired or taken from him’ there shall be substituted ‘over which the right is exercisable’. The following provisions of the 1965 Act (which state the effect of a deed poll executed in various circumstances where there is no conveyance by persons with interests in the land), namely:— section 9 (4) (failure of owners to convey); paragraph 10(3) of Schedule 1 (owners under incapacity); paragraph 2 (3) of Schedule 2 (absent and untraced owners); and paragraphs 2 (3) and 7 (2) of Schedule 4 (common land);shall be so modified as to secure that, as against persons with interests in the land which are expressed to be overridden by the deed, the right which is to be purchased compulsorily is vested absolutely in the Company. Section 11 of the 1965 Act (powers of entry) shall be so modified as to secure that, as from the date on which the Company has served notice to treat in respect of any right, it has power, exercisable in the like circumstances and subject to the like conditions, to enter for the purpose of exercising that right (which shall be deemed for this purpose to have been created on the date of service of the notice); and sections 12 (penalty for unauthorised entry) and 13 (entry on sheriff’s warrant in the event of obstruction) of the 1965 Act shall be modified correspondingly. Section 20 of the 1965 Act (compensation for short term tenants) shall apply with the modifications necessary to secure that persons with such interests as are mentioned in that section are compensated in a manner corresponding to that in which they would be compensated on a compulsory acquisition of the interests but taking into account only the extent, if any, of such interference with such interests as is actually caused, or likely to be caused, by the exercise of the right in question. Section 22 of the 1965 Act (protection of acquiring authority’s possession of land where by inadvertence an interest in the land has not been purchased) shall be so modified as to enable the Company, in circumstances corresponding to those referred to in that section, to continue to be entitled to exercise the right in question, subject to compliance with that section as respects compensation. 1948 c. 38. 1985 c. 6. 1965 c. 56. 1981 c. 67. 1845 c. 18. 1991 c. 59. 1991 c. 57. 1985 c. 48.
