Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited

HARBOURS ACT 1964

PROPOSED CALEDONIAN MARITIME ASSETS (BRODICK) HARBOUR REVISION ORDER 201[X]

1.  Notice is hereby given that Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited (“CMAL”) has applied to the Scottish Ministers to make a harbour revision order (“the proposed Order”) under Section 14 of the Harbours Act 1964 (“the Act”).

2.  The objects of the proposed Order are to empower the Company to construct, maintain and operate in the Firth of Clyde and on land at Brodick in the Island of Arran, a harbour with harbour works and harbour related facilities known as Brodick Harbour (“the Harbour”); to specify the limits of the Harbour, within which CMAL may exercise jurisdiction as harbour authority under powers to be granted by the proposed Order; and to repeal superseded, obsolete or otherwise unnecessary statutory provisions and local applications affecting the Harbour.

3.  No land is proposed for compulsory acquisition.

4.  The works proposed to be authorised comprise: the formation of an open jetty structure, forming the berthing and mooring line, and incorporating a fixed and adjustable passenger access gangway; reclamation and infilling of an area of the bed of Brodick Bay and the levelling of that area together with the levelling of the adjoining land (providing access, for the marshalling and parking of vehicles) to be retained on the seaward limits in part by rock armoured revertments and, as to the remainder, by a solid faced quay wall; a mechanically operated single deck linkspan, providing access to and from vessels including supporting piled bankseat and lifting frames with supporting dolphin structures; a two storey terminal building to be constructed over reclaimed land to be used for passenger and baggage handling, sales areas, management offices, staff welfare facilities and stores areas; a single storey split level building being the building to be used as ticketing and check-in facilities for passenger and freight vehicles; a water storage tank and pump house building to be used for ship supply; lighting columns not exceeding 15 metres in height; and demolition of existing pier and other structures.

5.  The Scottish Ministers have by letter dated 13 September 2013 informed CMAL that they have decided in accordance with paragraph 4 of Schedule 3 to the Act that the application relates to a project which falls within Annex II to Council Directive 85/227/EEC on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (as relatively amended by Council Directive 97/11/EC and Council Directive 2003/35/EC) because the project falls within paragraph 10(e) of that Annex as it relates to a harbour installation; that it is not a relevant project in terms of Schedule 3 to the Act; and that, accordingly, an environmental statement is not required in terms of the Act.

6.  Paragraph 16 of Schedule 3 of the Act (which requires information to be supplied concerning a project which is likely to have significant effects on the environment in Great Britain and in another European Economic Area State) does not apply to the application.

7.  The application to the Scottish Ministers comprises:

• The application letter;

• A copy of the proposed Order;

• The deposited plans and sections as referred to in the draft of the proposed Order;

All of these materials together with the letter of 13 September 2013 giving the Scottish Ministers’ decision as referred to above are referred to in paragraph 8 of this notice as “the Application Papers”.

8.  A copy of the Application Papers may be inspected at all reasonable hours until the expiry of the forty-two days’ period specified in paragraph 9 of this notice at:

• Arran Library Brodick, Isle Of Arran, KA27 8DL

• The offices of CMAL at Municipal Buildings, Fore St, Port Glasgow, PA14 5EQ;

• The offices of DWF LLP, Solicitors at Dalmore House, 310 St Vincent Street, Glasgow, G2 5QR.

9.  Any person desiring to object to the application or make any other representation in respect of it should do so in writing to the Scottish Ministers, addressed to N Gosling Esq, Transport Scotland, Ports and Harbours Branch, Area 2FN, Victoria Quay, Edinburgh. EH6 6QQ, or by email to harbourorders@scotland.gsi.gov.uk, before the expiry of the period of forty-two days starting with 11 April 2014 (being the date of first publication of this notice) stating the grounds of the objection or representation. Any objector or person making representations should note that all responses will be treated as public documents.

10.  If an objection to the application is made and not withdrawn, the Scottish Minister may before making their decision (i) cause an inquiry to be held, or (ii) give to the objector an opportunity of appearing before and being heard by a person appointed by them.
