Whether the power to vary a marine licence under the Marine and Coastal Act 2009 (‘MCAA 2009’) cannot be used to license a ‘marine licensable activity’ which has not already been included in the licence being varied. The claimant says that the power of variation cannot be used to license what it describes as a ‘new activity’. That may only properly be authorised by the grant of a new marine licence.
