<p>Under section 75 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act, certain activities by a
harbour authority (or on behalf of one), within their area, are exempt from requiring
a marine licence if they have a local act or a harbour order (the Ramsgate Corporation
Act 1934 is the relevant local act in this case).</p><p> </p><p>As a result of the
dredging activity, referenced within the answer provided on 15 January 2019 to Question
207205, no arisings are being physically excavated during the dredging work and there
is no material which requires disposal. The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) has
not therefore granted a licence for the specific works being undertaken.</p><p> </p><p>The
MMO did issue a separate marine licence (L/2016/00086/2) on 18 March 2016 for ongoing
maintenance and navigational dredging to the Port of Ramsgate which licences activity
at the port until 2026.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
