Rights to lease etc.

68.—(1) The undertaker may at any time lease or grant for the purposes of the harbour undertaking the use or occupation of, or any right or interest in, over or relating to, any lands, works, buildings, equipment or other property forming part of the harbour undertaking for such period or periods and on such terms and conditions as may be agreed between the undertaker and the person taking the same.

(2) A lease or grant made or given under paragraph (1) may include provisions delegating to the lessee or grantee any of the functions of the undertaker other than those specified in sub- paragraphs (a) to (f) of paragraph 9B of Schedule 2 to the Harbours Act 1964 (object for whose achievement harbour revision orders may be made).

(3) A person—

(a) exercising powers conferred by this Order; or

(b) carrying out any development under planning permission granted by article 3 (permitted development) of, and Part 17 of Schedule 2 (development by statutory undertakers) to, the 1995 Order,

in pursuance of a lease or grant under paragraph (1) (“the lessee or grantee”) shall be subject to the same restrictions, liabilities and obligations as would apply under this Order or by virtue of any agreement or undertaking by the undertaker if those powers were exercised, or the development carried out, by the undertaker.

(4) The provisions of this Order or of any such agreement or undertaking shall, as respects any such exercise of powers or carrying out of development by the lessee or grantee, have effect (where the context so permits) as if any reference in those provisions to the undertaker included a reference to the lessee or the grantee, as the case may be.
