Post

DLA Piper UK LLP requested advice from the IPC as to whether or not possible changes to a Transport and Works Act Order would require Development Consent in accordance with the Planning Act 2008.

Advice given

It was confirmed that the IPC is unable to provide legal advice on which clients can rely and that they should take their own legal advice on the issues raised.

Generic advice relating to the Planning Act 2008 regime was provided. Specifically, details were provided relating to the relevant section (section 22) of the Planning Act 2008 which deals with highways which are a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP), for which the Secretary of State (SoS) is the highway authority, or the relevant highway relates to a one which the SoS is the highway authority.
