Infrastructure Planning

Made

17th April 2024

Coming into force

9th May 2024

An application has been made to the Secretary of State under section 37 of the Planning Act 2008f1(the “2008 Act”), and in accordance with the Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedures) Regulations 2009f2for an order granting development consent.

The application was examined by a Panel appointed by the Secretary of State pursuant to section 61f3 and 65f4 of Part 6 of the 2008 Act and carried out in accordance with Chapter 4 of that Act and with the Infrastructure Planning (Examination Procedure) Rules 2010f5. The Panel has made a report and recommendation to the Secretary of State under section 74(2)f6 of the 2008 Act.

The Secretary of State has considered the report and recommendation of the Panel, has taken into account the environmental information in accordance with regulation 4 of the Infrastructure Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017f7 and has had regard to the documents and matters referred to in section 104(2)f8 of the 2008 Act.

The Secretary of State is satisfied that special category land comprised within the Order land, when burdened with the new rights authorised for compulsory acquisition under the terms of this Order, will be no less advantageous than it was before such acquisition to the persons in whom it is vested; other persons, if any, entitled to rights of common or other rights; and the public; and that, accordingly, section 132(3)f9 of the 2008 Act applies.

The Secretary of State, having decided the application, has determined to make an order granting development consent for the development described in the application on terms that in the opinion of the Secretary of State are not materially different from those proposed in the application.

Accordingly, the Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers in sections 114, 115, 120f10, 122, 123, 140 and 149A of the 2008 Act, makes the following Order:
