Ms Sweiham called the IPC enquires line to ask whether or not, in general terms, conversion of a coal-fired generating station to fire biomass fuel would represent a nationaly significant infrastructure project (NSIP) under the 2008 Act.

Advice given

The IPC cannot confirm whether or not proposals represent NSIPs. We directed Ms Sweiham to sections 14, 15 and 31 of the 2008 Act, but advised her to take her own legal advice upon which she can rely.
