On 24 May 2018, the North Devon District Council made a formal application to the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) under section 14 of the Harbours Act 1964 for a Harbour Revision Order to construct and maintain a new harbour wall in Larkstone Cove and a slipway from the new watersports centre in The Strand which will extend into the bed and foreshore of Ilfracombe Harbour.
The application is undergoing a 42 day public consultation, starting on 30 May 2018. The deadline for submitting comments is 11 July 2018. For further information on the consultation process, please review the public notice.
If you would like to make a representation please do so in writing via the harbourorders@marinemanagement.org.uk inbox. Representations should quote reference DC10164.
The applicant previously notified the Marine Management Organisation in accordance with paragraph 3 of Schedule 3 of the Harbours Act 1964 of their intention to submit a HRO. The proposed order would authorise the construction or alteration of a project which falls within Annex II to Council Directive 85/337/EEC on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (as amended by Council Directive 97/11/EC) but is not considered a relevant project. Accordingly, the Directive does not apply to the proposals and no environmental statement has been supplied.
