The caller enquired as to what legislation defines generating stations for Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects.
Advice given
The Planning Act 2008 (as amended by the Localism Act 2011) is the primary legislation which established the legal framework for applying for, examining and determining applications for Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects.
The relevant parts of the Planning Act 2008 in regards to generating stations are sections 14 and 15.
When establishing whether a proposal is for a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project, a promoter must seek their own legal advice on which they can rely.
