## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
This instrument revokes two sets of Regulations made in relation to the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, the development of which was enabled under the Channel Tunnel Rail Link Act 1996 (“the 1996 Act”).
Section 9(1) of the 1996 Act provided that planning permission was deemed to be granted under Part 3 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (c. 8) for the carrying out of development authorised by Part 1 of the 1996 Act. The 1996 Act however required the nominated undertaker (appointed by the Secretary of State under section 34 of the 1996 Act) to apply for planning approval from relevant local authorities for the plans and specifications of the development, and provided for a right of appeal to the Secretary of State against the decision of such an authority. The Channel Tunnel Rail Link (Planning Appeals) Regulations 1997 (S.I. 1997/821) (“the 1997 Regulations”) make provision in respect of such appeals.
The Channel Tunnel Rail Link (Assessment of Environmental Effects) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/107) (“the 1999 Regulations”) deal with matters arising out of or related to the obligations of the United Kingdom under Council Directive 85/337/EEC on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (OJ No L 175, 5.7.1985, p40), in the context of certain development authorised by the 1996 Act.
As the ten year period for which the planning permission deemed to be granted under the 1996 Act has passed without being extended, the 1997 and 1999 Regulations are now spent.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private, public or voluntary sectors is foreseen. The Explanatory Memorandum is published alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.
