Coming into force 27th November 2025
An application has been made to the Secretary of State under section 37 (applications for orders granting development consent) of the Planning Act 2008 (the “2008 Act”) in accordance with (b) (the Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedure) Regulations 2009) for an order granting development consent.
The application has been examined by the Examining Authority appointed by the Secretary of State pursuant to Chapter 3 of Part 6 (deciding applications for orders granting development consent) of the 2008 Act and carried out in accordance with Chapter 4 of Part 6 (deciding applications for orders granting development consent) of the 2008 Act and the Infrastructure Planning (Examination Procedure) Rules 2010. The Examining Authority has submitted a report and recommendation to the Secretary of State under section 83 (single appointed person to examine and report on application) of the 2008 Act.
The Secretary of State has considered the report and recommendation of the Examining Authority, has taken into account the environmental information in accordance with regulation 4 of the Infrastructure Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017 and has had regard to the documents and matters referred to in section 104(2) (decisions in cases where national policy statement have effect) of the 2008 Act.
The Secretary of State, having decided the application, has determined to make an order giving effect to the proposals comprised in the application on terms that in the opinion of the Secretary of State are not materially different from those proposed in the application.
In accordance with section 127 (statutory undertakers’ land) of the 2008 Act, the Secretary of State has applied the relevant tests and is satisfied that they have been met.
In accordance with section 131(4A) (commons, open spaces etc: compulsory acquisition of land) of the 2008 Act, the Secretary of State is satisfied that there is no suitable land available to be given in exchange for the parcels of open space comprised within the Order land and that it is strongly in the public interest for the development for which this Order grants consent to be capable of being begun sooner than is likely to be possible if the Order were to be subject (to any extent) to special parliamentary procedure.
The Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 114, 115, 120, 122, 123, and 149A of the 2008 Act, makes the following Order.
