HARBOURS, DOCKS, AND PIERS CLAUSES ACT 1847 - SECT 12

Consent of Commissioners of Woods, &c. and of the Admiralty, as to works on foreshore, &c.

12. The undertakers shall not construct the harbour, dock, or pier, or any
part thereof, or any works connected therewith, on any part of the shore of
the sea, or of any creek, bay, arm of the sea, or navigable river
communicating therewith, where and so far up the same as the tide flows and
reflows, without the previous consent of Her Majesty to be signified in
writing under the hands of two of the Commissioners of Woods, and of the
Admiralty, to be signified in writing..., and then only according to such plan
and under such restrictions and regulations as the said Commissioners of Woods
and the Admiralty approve of, such approval being signified as last aforesaid;
and where any such work shall have been constructed with such consent as
aforesaid, the undertakers shall not at any time alter or extend the same,
without obtaining previously to making any such alteration or extension, the
like consents or approvals; and if any such work shall be commenced or
completed without such consent and approval, the said Commissioners of Woods,
or the Admiralty, may abate and remove the same, and restore the site thereof
to its former condition, at the costs of the undertakers, and the amount of
such costs shall be a debt due to the crown, and recoverable against
the undertakers accordingly: Provided always, that if the conservancy of the
navigable river shall legally belong to any person, the like consent and
approval of such person shall also be necessary, in addition to the consents
and approvals herein-before required; and if the right of property of or in
the shore shall legally belong to any person, such right shall not be
prejudiced, except so far as power to purchase the same shall be given by the
special Act.
