No part of the authorised development, save for the permitted preliminary works, may commence until evidence of the following (or such licence or consent as may replace those listed) has been submitted to and approved by the relevant planning authority—
that the carbon dioxide storage licence has been granted;
that the environmental permits have been granted for Work No. 1 and Work No. 7; and
that any pipeline works authorisation required by section 14 of the Petroleum Act 1998f1 for offshore pipeline works from Work No. 8 to the carbon dioxide storage site has been granted.
Prior to the start of commissioning of the authorised development, the undertaker must not without the consent of the Secretary of State—
dispose of any interest held by the undertaker in the land required for Work No. 1C and Work No. 7; or
do anything, or allow anything to be done or to occur, which may reasonably be expected to diminish the undertaker’s ability, within two years of such action or occurrence, to prepare Work No. 1C and 7 for construction.
Work No. 1A may not be brought into commercial use without Work Nos. 1C, 7 and 8 also being brought into commercial use and Work No. 8 being connected to an operational storage site.
