Planning and Infrastructure BillContribution
Amendments 17 and 23 would not only remove the option of a development order but would force an onshore energy generation scheme redirected out of the NSIP process to be consented via the Electricity Act 1989. This process under Section 36 of that Act is outdated and was not designed to deal with modern energy demands. That is why it was replaced by the Planning Act 2008.
