If made, the proposed HRO would consolidate and modernise the statutory harbour powers of both Lyme Regis and Bridport (West Bay) Harbours. This includes modernised powers of general and special direction and clarification of the harbour limits. The proposed HRO also sets out the penalty for offences relating to moorings and failure to comply with directions. The proposed HRO also makes amendments to the Weymouth Harbour Revision Order 2021.
More information about the proposals can be viewed in the statement in support and the draft HRO.
The statutory 42-day public consultation on the HRO starts on 26 January 2023 and ends on 09 March 2023.
