• Work No. 6 – Newton Marina – A new passing place on the causeway to Goat Island, formed by building a rock armoured rock fill extension on the west side of the causeway, with a surfaced road area of 110 square metres, the location of which is shown on sheet 3, with the limits of deviation shown in orange, and sections of which are shown on sheet 5.

• Work No. 7 – Newton Marina – Two boat sheds, 12.5 metres long, 5 metres wide and 6 metres high, comprising steel profile clad steel framed buildings with roller shutter doors, to replace existing boat sheds which are to be removed, the location of which is shown on sheet 3, with the limits of deviation shown in brown, and sections of which are shown on sheet 6.

• [F1 Work No. 8 – Deep Water Port - The reclamation and infilling of an area comprising 66,000 square metres of the seabed and foreshore and the excavation by blasting and levelling of 50,000 square metres of adjacent land, to form quayside working areas, laydown and storage areas, marshalling and parking areas for a freight ferry, and development areas, having berthing quay walls at its east and north edges, rock armoured revetted slopes at the south edges of the reclamation and rock faces around the edges of the excavated area, the location of which is shown on sheet 3A, with the limits of deviation shown in red, and sections of which are shown on sheet 4A.

• Work No. 9 – A pier of open piled construction, 114 metres in length and 15 metres in width, connected to the south east corner of Work No.8, the location of which is shown on sheet 3A, with the limits of deviation shown in brown, and sections of which are shown on sheet 4A.

• Work No. 10 – A steel linkspan bridge 40 metres long and varying from 10 to 20 metres in width, supported at its landward end on Work No. 8; and at its seaward end, on two dolphins, one partially piled and partially supported on the quay, the other partially piled and partially founded on the seabed in concrete; the location of which is shown on sheet 3A, with the limits of deviation shown in purple, and sections of which are shown on sheet 5A.

• Work No. 11 – A road 350 metres long and 8 metres wide connecting Work No. 8 to the existing Arnish access road, constructed by excavation by blasting and levelling and with bituminous surfacing, the location of which is shown on sheet 3A, with the limits of deviation shown in blue, and sections of which are shown on sheet 5A.

• Work No. 12 – A road 800 metres long and 25 metres wide, connecting Work No. 8 to the Arnish Fabrication Yard, constructed variously by excavation by blasting, levelling, reclamation and infilling, the location of which is shown on sheet 3A, with the limits of deviation shown in green, and sections of which are shown on sheet 6A.

• Work No. 13 – The reclamation and infilling of an area comprising 4,000 square metres of the seabed through the excavation by blasting and levelling of adjacent land, adjoining Work No. 12, to form an access causeway, mooring points and working area, having rock armoured revetted slopes around its perimeter, the location of which is shown on sheet 3A, with the limits of deviation shown in yellow, and sections of which are shown on sheet 7A .]
