Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order vests in the London Docklands Development Corporation certain land which is at present vested in the Port of London Authority, the council of the London borough of Newham (or in another body mentioned in section 141(1) of the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980), and related easements and similar rights. The land is shown coloured black on the map forming part of this note.

In one instance where the ownership of the land to be vested is a matter of dispute between the Port of London Authority and the council of the London borough of Newham and where different interests in or rights over the land may be vested in either body, the description of the land is, to that extent, duplicated in the Schedule.

The land and rights are in the area designated by the London Docklands Development Corporation (Area and Constitution) Order 1980, which establishes the London Docklands Development Corporation.
