Infrastructure Planning

Made 7th October 2020

Coming into force 29th October 2020

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 Procedure) Regulations 2009f2 for an Order granting development consent.

The application was examined by a panel of four members (“the Panel”) (appointed by the Secretary of State) in accordance with Chapter 4 of Part 6 of the 2008 Act, and the Infrastructure Planning (Examination Procedure) Rules 2010f3.

The Panel, having considered the representations made and not withdrawn and the application together with the accompanying documents, in accordance with section 74 of the 2008 Act, has submitted a report with a recommendation to the Secretary of State.

The Secretary of State, has considered the representations made and not withdrawn, the report of the Panel and the environmental information in accordance with regulation 4 of the Infrastructure Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017f4 and has had regard to the documents and matters referred to in section 104(2) of the 2008 Act.

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 which in the opinion of the Secretary of State are not materially different to the proposals comprised in the application.

The Secretary of State is satisfied that the parcels of common, open space or fuel or field allotment land comprised within the Order limits (as identified in the Book of Reference), when burdened with rights imposed by this Order, will be no less advantageous than they were before to persons in whom they are vested, other persons, if any, entitled to rights of common or other rights and the public, and that accordingly, section 132(3) of the 2008 Act applies.

The Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 114, 115 and 120 of the 2008 Act, makes the following Order—
