The North London Heat and Power Generating Station Order 2017

An application has been made to the Secretary of State under section 37 of the Planning Act 20081 (the “2008 Act”) and in accordance with the Infrastructure Planning (Applications: Prescribed Forms and Procedure) Regulations 20092 for an Order under sections 114, 115 and 120 of the 2008 Act.

The application was examined by a single appointed person (appointed by the Secretary of State) in accordance with Chapter 4 of Part 6 of the 2008 Act and the Infrastructure Planning (Examination Procedure) Rules 20103.

The single appointed person, having considered the application with the documents that accompanied it and the representations made and not withdrawn, has submitted a report with a recommendation to the Secretary of State.

The Secretary of State, having considered the report and recommendation of the single appointed person, has taken into account the environmental information in accordance with regulation 3 of the Infrastructure Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 20094, and has had regard to the documents and matters referred to in section 104(2) of the 2008 Act.

The Secretary of State, having decided the application has determined to make this Order giving effect to the proposals comprised in the application on terms which in the opinion of the Secretary of State are not materially different from those proposed in the application.

The Secretary of State is satisfied that the special category land (as identified in the book of reference), when burdened with rights imposed by this Order, will be no less advantageous than it was before to persons in whom it is vested, other persons, if any, entitled to rights of common or other rights and the public, and that accordingly, section 132(3) of the 2008 Act applies.
