Article 5 Relevant approvals
No relevant development may commence unless—
the Defence Secretary has made a relevant submission in respect of that development which complies with Schedule 3 (contents of relevant submissions), and
the Secretary of State, having received and considered the relevant submission, has given the Defence Secretary a written notice under this article, specifying that development and stating that the Secretary of State gives relevant approval for it (a “relevant approval notice”).
The Secretary of State must not give a relevant approval notice unless the Secretary of State has determined that the relevant development—
has no likely significant effect on the integrity of any European site, either alone or in combination with other plans or projects, and
is capable of being carried out in accordance with the Schedule 1 conditions.
A relevant approval notice—
has effect from the date on which it is given, or such other date as it may specify;
must specify, by reference to a document submitted by the Defence Secretary or otherwise—
the relevant development for which relevant approval is given;
any conditions subject to which relevant approval is given.
