Introductory text

An application has been made to the Secretary of State, in accordance with the Transport and Works (Applications and Objections Procedure) Rules 1992^f1 made under sections 6, 7 and 10 of the Transport and Works Act 1992^f2 (“the 1992 Act”), for an Order under sections 1 and 5 of the 1992 Act.

The Secretary of State caused an inquiry to be held for the purposes of the application pursuant to section 11 of the 1992 Act.

The Secretary of State, having considered the objections made and not withdrawn, and the report of the person who held the inquiry, determined to make an Order in respect of some only of the proposals concerned but deferred consideration of certain other proposals comprised in the application (“the deferred proposals”).

The Secretary of State, having considered the objections made and not withdrawn, the report of the person who held the inquiry and the further representations made to him relating to the deferred proposals after that report was made, has determined to make an Order with respect to the deferred proposals with modifications which in his opinion do not make any substantial change in the proposals.

Notice of the Secretary of State’s determination was published in the London Gazette on 21st December 2006.
