And whereas the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions, in pursuance of paragraph 1A of Schedule 3 to the said Act^f2, determined that the application is made in relation to a project which falls within Annex II to the Council Directive No. 85/337/EEC^f3 on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment but whose characteristics do not require that it should be made subject to an environmental assessment;

And whereas the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions is satisfied as mentioned in subsection (2)(b) of the said Section 14;

Now therefore, the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions (being the appropriate Minister under subsection 7 of the said section 14^f5), in exercise of the powers conferred by that section and now vested in him^f6, and of all other powers enabling him in that behalf hereby makes the following Order:—
