  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nRegulation 2 amends the Planning Act 2008 (“the 2008 Act”). In section 14(1), it extends the categories of infrastructure project which are nationally significant for the purposes of the 2008 Act by adding to them, subject to section 29 of the 2008 Act (see section 14(2)), the construction or alteration of infrastructure for the transfer or storage of waste water, but it also limits these additional categories by limitations inserted in section 29. These limitations in section 29 provide criteria for determining whether any particular project for the construction or alteration of such infrastructure is to be treated as a nationally significant infrastructure project.\nRegulation 3 makes supplementary provision in relation to ongoing infrastructure projects that as a result of the amendments to the 2008 Act made by this Order, become treated as nationally significant. Anything done by a promoter of such a project prior to the commencement of this Order may be treated by the Secretary of State as compliance with specified provisions of the 2008 Act, if it would have amounted to such compliance if it had been done after this Order came into force.\nThe 2008 Act is amended by Chapter 6 of Part 6 of the Localism Act 2011, which comes into force on 1st April 2012, by virtue of article 7 of the Localism Act 2011 (Commencement No. 4 and Transitional, Transitory and Saving Provisions) Order 2012 (S.I. 2012/628). Section 128 of the Localism Act 2011 abolishes the Infrastructure Planning Commission, and Schedule 13 transfers its functions to the Secretary of State.",
