Cyngor a roddwyd

It is not within our remit to interpret the Act.

"For a purpose connected with" is not defined in the Act as being a physical and /or functional connection. The IPC is unable to give a view as to the interpretation of legislation which is a matter that only the courts can determine and applicants must rely on their own legal advice when reaching a view about whether a project requires development consent.

Alternatively, I advise that you view our register of projects (see link below) which highlights schemes which the Highways Agency are treating as NSIPs.
