The Saundersfoot Harbour Empowerment Order 2011

Moorings

25.—(1) The Commissioners may provide, place, lay down, maintain, renew, use, have or remove such moorings within the harbour—

(a) on land owned or leased by them or in which they hold an appropriate interest; or

(b) with the consent in writing of the owner and lessee, on any other land in the harbour;

as they consider necessary or desirable for the convenience of vessels.

(2) The Commissioners may issue permits on such conditions (including conditions as to payment) as they think fit authorising the holder of the permit to use or allow the use of any moorings provided by the Commissioners under this article.

(3) The Commissioners may compound with any person with respect to the payments referred to in paragraph (2).

(4) (a) The Commissioners may give notice in writing to the person having the control of any vessel using any mooring in the harbour at the date this Order comes into force requiring that person within 28 days to remove the mooring so as to enable the Commissioners to provide moorings in accordance with paragraph (1).

(b) The Commissioners must offer to make available to the person having the control of the vessel referred to in the notice a mooring provided by them under paragraph (1) as soon as such mooring has been laid down.

(c) If any person fails to comply with a notice given by the Commissioners under this paragraph, the Commissioners may at any time after the expiration of 28 days from the date of the giving of the notice remove the mooring referred to in that notice.

(5) (a) The Commissioners may from time to time grant to a person with or without conditions a licence to place, lay down, maintain, renew, use and have existing and future moorings, for vessels in the harbour.

(b) Nothing in any such licence entitles a person to place, lay down, maintain, renew or use and have any mooring on land not owned or leased by that person or by the Commissioners or in which that person has no appropriate interest.

(c) The Commissioners may charge for such a licence such reasonable fee as the Commissioners may from time to time prescribe.
