# The North Blyth Biomass Power Station Order 2013, Paragraph 34: Combined heat and power


(1) The authorised development may not be brought into first commercial use until the relevant planning authority, in consultation with the Environment Agency, has certified that it is satisfied that the undertaker has included in Work No. 1 appropriate connections for the later provision of heat pass-outs for off-site users of process or space heating and its later connection to such systems.
(2) The undertaker shall thereafter maintain such provision for the lifetime of the authorised development.
(3) The undertaker must on the date that is 12 months after the authorised development is first brought into commercial use submit to the relevant planning authority for its approval, in consultation with the Environment Agency, a report it has compiled (CHP Review) in consultation with the relevant planning authority and the Environment Agency, updating the CHP/ District heating feasibility report submitted with the application for development consent regarding the authorised development. The CHP Review must consider the opportunities that reasonably exist for the export of heat from the authorised development at the time of the submission of the CHP Review and must include a list of actions (if any) the undertaker shall reasonably undertake (without material additional cost to the undertaker) to increase the potential for the export of heat from the authorised development. The undertaker must thereafter undertake such actions as are agreed within the timescales specified in the CHP Review.
(4) The CHP Review must be revised and re-submitted by the undertaker to the relevant planning authority, in consultation with the Environment Agency, in accordance with the process and subject to the requirements stated in sub-paragraph (3) on the date that is five years after the date of its previous submission to the relevant planning authority throughout the lifetime of the authorised development and any actions specified in the subsequent CHP Review must be carried out by the undertaker in accordance with the timescales specified in the re-submitted CHP Review.
