Interim OrdersU.K.
11U.K.Where it appears to a coast protection authority that by reason of emergency it is urgently necessary for the protection of any land that an order should be made applying the provisions of section eighteen of this Act to any portion of the seashore in their area or lying to seaward therefrom, the authority may make an interim order applying those provisions accordingly.
12U.K.As soon as may be after the making of an interim order under the last foregoing paragraph the authority shall in two successive weeks publish in the London Gazette and in one or more local newspapers circulating in the locality a notice stating that the order has been made, and naming a place where a copy thereof may be inspected at all reasonable hours, and shall serve a like [F1notice on the Environment Agency (if any land to which the interim order relates is in England), the Natural Resources Body for Wales (if any land to which the interim order relates is in Wales), and on any catchment board] [F2, conservancy authority, harbour authority or navigation authority whose area, and on any internal drainage board whose district,] comprises land to which the interim order relates.
