Harbour Authorities: Balconies

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government which statutory harbour authorities in England charge for overhanging residential balconies.

The department has not conducted a review of all Statutory Harbour Authorities to assess if they have the power to charge for overhanging residential balconies. Given the divergence in port local acts, it is not clear how many ports have this power.
