From
SSE
Date advice given
25 April 2012
Enquiry type
Phone

In regards to an operational biomass fuelled generating station; the Caller asked whether the replacement of one of two existing generators, with a combined output of over 50 megawatts, constitutes a National Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) if the individual generator has an output of below 50 megawatts.

Advice given

The Caller was directed to sections 14 and 15 of the Planning Act 2008.

The Caller was informed that it is not within The Planning Inspectorate’s remit to advise whether a scheme is an NSIP. It was therefore suggested that the caller seek their own legal advice upon which they can rely.
