The Great Yarmouth Third River Crossing Development Consent Order 2020

62.—(1) In the event that the further surveys or assessment carried out under paragraph 196(2) disclose that the works have resulted in part of the river becoming silted up or subject to scouring to the extent that there is, or is likely to be, a materially adverse impact on either the safety or efficiency of navigation of the river or the condition of the works, then the undertaker must dredge the river (or carry out such alternative remedial works as the GYPA, acting reasonably, approves) to remove the silting or make good the scouring as soon as reasonably practicable to the reasonable satisfaction of GYPA and at no expense to the GYPA.

(2) Where the undertaker is obliged to carry out dredging or remedial works under sub-paragraph (1), the GYPA may instead (at its discretion) carry out such dredging or works on the undertaker’s behalf if the undertaker so requests and on condition that the undertaker will meet all reasonable expenses of the GYPA.
