This Order authorises Tioxide Europe Limited (“Tioxide”) and its successors to transfer its rights and obligations under the River Humber (Burcom Outfall) Act 1986.

That Act authorised Tioxide to construct and maintain an outfall in the River Humber notwithstanding the statutory prohibition contained in section 6 of the Humber Conservancy Act 1905 (c. clxxix) which precludes works beyond certain defined river lines in the Humber.

The authority granted by the 1986 Act is personal to Tioxide and hence new powers are needed to authorise a transfer. This is now needed as Tioxide is selling the land which is served by the outfall constructed under the 1986 Act.

A copy of the Order may be inspected free of charge during working hours at the offices of Tioxide Europe Limited, Titanium House, Hanzard Drive, Wynyard Park, Stockton-on-Tees, TS22 5FD.
