(b) in the case of erosion, the remedy shall be the carrying out of such reconstruction works and other protective works or measures as may be reasonably required by the Agency,
any such protective works being subject to paragraph 39.
(5) In the event that surveys, inspections, tests or sampling establish that such accumulation or erosion would have been caused in any event by factors other than the construction of a specified work the Company shall be liable to remedy such accumulation or erosion only to the extent that it is attributable to such construction.
33 If by reason of the construction of any specified work or of the failure of any such work the efficiency of any drainage work for flood defence purposes is impaired, or that drainage work is otherwise damaged, such impairment or damage shall be made good by the Company to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agency and if the Company fails to do so within such reasonable period as the Agency may require by notice in writing to the Company, the Agency may make good the same and recover from the Company the expense reasonably incurred by it in so doing.
34 (1) The Company shall take all such measures as may be reasonably practicable to prevent any interruption of the free passage of fish in the fishery during the construction of any specified work.
(2) If by reason of—
(a) the construction of any specified work; or
(b) the failure of any such work,
damage to the fishery is caused, or the Agency has reason to expect that such damage may be caused, the Agency may serve written notice on the Company requiring it to take such steps as may be reasonably practicable to make good the damage, or, as the case may be, to protect the fishery against such damage.
(3) If within such time as may be reasonably practicable for that purpose after the receipt of a notice under sub-paragraph (2), the Company fails to take such steps as are described in that notice, the Agency may take those steps and may recover from the Company the expense reasonably incurred by it in so doing.
(4) In any case where immediate action by the Agency is reasonably required in order to secure that the risk of damage to the fishery is avoided or reduced, the Agency may take such steps as are reasonable for the purpose, and may recover from the Company the reasonable cost of so doing provided that notice specifying those steps is served on the Company as soon as reasonably practicable after the Agency has taken, or commenced to take, the steps specified in the notice.
35 The Company shall indemnify the Agency in respect of all reasonable and proper costs, charges and expenses which the Agency may reasonably incur or have to pay or which it may sustain—
(a) in the examination or approval of plans under this Part of this Schedule;
(b) in the inspection of the construction of the specified works or any protective works required by the Agency under this Part of this Schedule.
36 (1) Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Part of this Schedule, the Company shall indemnify the Agency against all claims, demands, proceedings, costs, damages or expenses or losses, which may be made or taken against, or recovered from or incurred by the Agency by reason of—
(a) any damage to any drainage work so as to impair its efficiency for the purposes of flood defence;
(b) any damage to the fishery;
(c) any raising or lowering of the water table in land adjoining the authorised works or any sewers, drains and watercourses;
(d) any flooding or increased flooding of any such lands; or
(e) inadequate water quality in any watercourse or other surface waters or in any groundwater,
which is caused by the construction of any of the specified works or any act or omission of the Company, its contractors, agents or employees whilst engaged on the specified works.
(2) The Agency shall give to the Company reasonable notice of any such claim, demand or proceedings and no settlement or compromise of any such claim, demand, proceedings, costs, damages, expenses or losses shall be made without the consent of the Company which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
37 The fact that any work or thing has been executed or done by the Company in accordance with a plan approved or deemed to be approved by the Agency, or to its satisfaction, or in accordance with any directions or award of an arbitrator, shall not relieve the Company from any liability under the provisions of this Part of this Schedule.
38 For the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 2 of the Water Resources Act 1991 (abstraction and impounding of water) and section 109 of that Act (as to structures in, over or under watercourses) as applying to the construction of any specified work, any consent or approval given or deemed to be given by the Agency under this Part of this Schedule with respect to such construction shall be deemed also to constitute a licence under that Chapter to obstruct or impede the flow of inland waters at that point by means of impounding works or, as the case may be, a consent or approval under section 109.
39 (1) This paragraph applies in relation to any protective work required by the Agency under this Part of this Schedule (“relevant protective work”).
(2) Relevant protective works shall be taken to be works which fall within paragraph (ii) of the proviso to section 19 of the Harwich Harbour Act 1974 (restrictions on works, dredgings and moorings) and, accordingly, to be exempt from the requirement to be licensed under section 20 of that Act (licensing of works).
1974 c.i.
(3) Before imposing any requirement of a type referred to in paragraph 29(b)(ii) or 32(4), the Agency shall first consult in writing the Harwich Haven Authority (“the Authority”) who may comment in writing (with or without specifying objections) within 21 days of being consulted; and the Agency shall, within 7 days of receiving any such comments from the Authority, provide the Company with a copy of those comments.
(4) Not less than 56 days before commencing the construction of any relevant protective work the Company or the Agency shall supply to the Authority plans of that work.
(5) Whenever plans are submitted to the Authority under sub-paragraph (4) the Company or the Agency shall also submit such further particulars by way of clarification of what is proposed as the Authority may, within 21 days from the day on which the plans are submitted, reasonably require.
(6) The Authority may approve plans submitted to it under sub-paragraph (4) or may disapprove them or approve them subject to conditions; and, if the Authority does not within 56 days of the submission to it of any plans under sub-paragraph (4) or the provision of any information required under sub-paragraph (5), as the case may be, notify the Agency and the Company in writing of its approval of those plans (conditionally or unconditionally), or its disapproval of those plans, the Authority shall be deemed to have approved the plans.
(7) A relevant protective work shall not be constructed except in accordance with such plans as may have been approved (conditionally or unconditionally) by the Authority under this Part of this Schedule or deemed to have been approved in accordance with sub-paragraph (6) or settled as provided in paragraph 41.
(8) The Company or the Agency shall give to the Authority not less than 28 days’ notice in writing of the commencement of any relevant protective work.
(9) Plans of any relevant protective work which is a tidal work shall not be submitted by the Company to the Secretary of State for approval under section 11 (tidal works not to be executed without approval of Secretary of State) of the 1983 Act until plans of that work have been approved by the Authority or deemed to have been approved in accordance with sub-paragraph (6) or settled as provided in paragraph 41; and if, on the submission of plans to the Secretary of State, the Secretary of State requires the alteration of the plans of any work so approved or settled, the Company shall, not less than 28 days before commencing the work, notify the Authority and the Agency of the alteration.
(10) Subject to sub-paragraph (9), if there is any inconsistency between the plans of any relevant protective work which is a tidal work approved or deemed to have been approved under this paragraph or settled as provided in paragraph 41 and the plans approved by the Secretary of State under section 11 of the 1983 Act, the relevant protective work in question shall be constructed in accordance with the plans approved by the Secretary of State.
40 (1) In the event that there is any inconsistency between the obligations of the Company arising from this Part of this Schedule and the Deed, the obligations arising under the Deed shall prevail and, accordingly, the Company shall comply only with the obligations arising under the Deed.
(2) In this paragraph, “the Deed” means the Deed entered into on 15 October 2004 between the Company, the Harwich Haven Authority, the Agency and English Nature relating to Bathside Bay Container Terminal, Little Oakley Managed Realignment and the Conservation (Natural Habitats &c.) Regulations 1994.
S.I. 1994/2716.
41 Any dispute arising between the Company and the Agency under this Part of this Schedule shall, if the parties agree, be determined by arbitration, but shall otherwise be determined by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Secretary of State for Transport acting jointly.
