Would an application for a gas fired powered station need to include consent for the installation of the pipeline, or could this be sought separately?

Advice given

It is for developers to define the schemes they wish to seek consent for, having regard in particular to s.115 and s.120 of the Planning Act 2008 (PA 2008). Consent under PA 2008 for a pipeline is only required to the extent that it constitutes a nationally significant infrastructure project (as defined in s.20 and s.21).
