To consider a report of the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services setting out an application for Harbour Works Consent.

The Board considered the report of the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services (Item 9 in the Minute Book).

The report outlined an application, made by the YMCA Fairthorne Manor, for Harbour Works Consent to install a floating pontoon to an existing quay wall at the Fairthorne Manor water sports centre.

It was confirmed that, in reference to Recommendation D,  the Board was not legally mandated to examine individual Risk Assessments for particular projects. However, the Harbour Master noted that, for this particular project, it was planned that a comprehensive written risk assessment would be produced and that the Harbour Office intended to ensure that this was completed by an appropriately qualified person.

Members noted that, as listed within section 3.10 of the report, certain permissions were yet to be obtained from external organisations. It was agreed that this be included as an additional recommendation as outlined below at Recommendation F.

RESOLVED:

That the River Hamble Board approves the Harbour Works Consent for the proposal set out in Section 3 of this report and subject to the following conditions:

a)    That the proposal is to be built in accordance with the details, plans and method set out in paragraph 3.5.

b)    That all reasonable precautions are undertaken to ensure no pollutants enter the water-course.

c)    That all equipment and debris associated with the works should be removed from the area upon completion of the works and the area returned to its previous condition.

d)    That the user completes a full Risk Assessment for the new pontoon arrangement to ensure that all risks to those are reduced to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable.

e)    That the development must be completed within 3 years from the date of the approval granted by the Harbour Board.

f)     That the permissions from the Local Planning Authority, Environment Agency, Marine Management Organisation and The Crown Estate be obtained before any work begins on the project.
