Explanatory note

The Planning Act 2008 (c. 29) provides for the granting of development consent for certain types of nationally significant infrastructure projects.

These Regulations amend the Infrastructure Planning (Fees) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/106) (“the 2010 Regulations”), which were made in part under the power within section 54A of the Planning Act 2008.

Regulation 3 inserts definitions of “the land” and “local authority” into the 2010 Regulations.

Regulation 4 amends Schedule 2 to the 2010 Regulations by inserting a local authority in whose area the land is situated (host local authorities) into the list of prescribed public authorities able to charge fees in relation to the provision of relevant services.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
