The developer has confirmed that their proposal contains two nationally significant infrastructure projects (the Strategic Rail Freight Interchange and works to a road junction). Will the applicant need to submit two separate applications for this? Would a proposal to underground a section of electric line also be considered a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project?
Cyngor a roddwyd
Developers can include more than one Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project within an application for a development consent order.
The Planning Act 2008 sets out thresholds at which certain infrastructure projects are considered to be nationally significant, requiring a development consent order. In regard to electric lines, only overhead lines are considered to be Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (provided they also meet the other thresholds detailed within section 16 of the Planning Act 2008, for example regarding the proposed length and voltage).
