Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009, Section 119 is up to date with all changes known to be in force on or before 16 August 2024. There are changes that may be brought into force at a future date. Changes that have been made appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.

This is subject to subsection (11).
(2)The appropriate authority must publish notice of its proposal to make the order.
(3)The notice under subsection (2) must—
(a)be published in such manner as the appropriate authority thinks is most likely to bring the proposal to the attention of any persons who are likely to be affected by the making of the order;
(b)contain a statement of the terms of the proposed order.
(4)The appropriate authority must consult any persons who the appropriate authority thinks are likely to be interested in, or affected by, the making of the order.

(a)the making of the order may affect any activity which is or may be carried on in the Welsh zone, or
(b)any activity which is or may be carried on in the Welsh zone may affect any part of the proposed MCZ,
the authority must consult the Welsh Ministers.

(a)the making of the order may affect any activity which is or may be carried on in the Scottish zone, or
(b)any activity which is or may be carried on in the Scottish zone may affect any part of the proposed MCZ,
the authority must consult the Scottish Ministers.

(10)If the appropriate authority fails to make the order before the end of the period of 12 months beginning with the date on which notice was published under subsection (2), then anything done by the appropriate authority for the purposes of complying with subsections (2) to (9) of this section is, for those purposes, to be treated as not having been done.
(11)In a case where the appropriate authority thinks that there is an urgent need to protect the area proposed to be designated, the authority need not comply with subsections (2) to (4).
(12)In such a case, the order designating the area as an MCZ remains in force for a period not exceeding two years, unless the appropriate authority makes a further order before the end of that period confirming the designation.
Before making such an order, the appropriate authority must comply with subsections (2) to (9) (and subsection (10) applies accordingly).
