Coming into force

15th November 1996

Whereas the trustees of the harbours of Peterhead have applied for a harbour revision order under section 14 of the Harbours Act 1964(1);

And whereas the Secretary of State has, in pursuance of paragraph 1A of Schedule 3 to the said Act(2), determined that the application is made in relation to a project which falls within Annex II to Council Directive 85/337/EEC(3) on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment but whose characteristics do not require that it should be made subject to an environmental assessment;

And whereas the Secretary of State is satisfied that the making of the Order is desirable in the interests of securing the improvement, maintenance or management of the harbour in an efficient and economical manner;

Now, therefore, the Secretary of State for Scotland, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 14 of the said Act and of all other powers enabling him in that behalf, hereby makes the following Order:

(1)

1964 c. 40; section 14 and Schedule 3 were amended by the Transport Act 1981 (c. 56), section 18 and Schedule 6, paragraphs 2 to 4, 12 and 14, and by the Transport and Works Act 1992 (c. 42), Schedule 3, paragraphs 1 and 10.

(2)

Paragraph 1A was inserted by the Harbours Works (Assessment of Environmental Effects) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/1421).
