Abstract

These Regulations make provision with respect to orders for development consent under the Planning Act 2008 and to consents under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 for the construction of combustion plants of 300 megawatts or more and for specified extensions to combustion plants for purposes of implementing Article 36 of Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions. Before making such an order or granting such a consent, the Secretary of State or Scottish Ministers must determine whether certain conditions are met relating to the feasibility of carbon capture and storage. If the conditions are met, the order or consent must include requirements or conditions for suitable space to be set aside for equipment necessary to capture and compress all the carbon dioxide that would otherwise be emitted from the plant. The Regulations also provide with respect to variations to development consent orders or consents.
