A representative of Windsor Link Railway Limited (WLRL) made enquires about whether or not the proposed Windsor Link Railway (stage 1 and 2) would engage the Planning Act 2008 infrastructure planning regime.
Advice given
The Planning Inspectorate explained that, whilst we could not advise on whether or not a particular scheme was a nationally significant infrastructure project (NSIP), the relevant criteria were set out in the Planning Act 2008 as amended, and particularly in section 25 of the Act.
An application for a NSIP in England can include development that is integral or associated with the project. We advised WLRL to carefully consider their consenting strategy and contact us if they felt the 2008 Act regime was likely to be engaged by either or both stages of the proposal.
