2006 No. 3117
The Network Rail (Thameslink 2000) Order 2006
Made
Coming into force
An application was made on 19th November 1997 (“the 1997 Application”) to the Secretary of State, in accordance with the Transport and Works (Applications and Objections Procedure) Rules 19921, for an Order under sections 1, 3 and 5 of the Transport and Works Act 19922, (“the 1992 Act”) to authorise certain works (“the 1997 draft Order”).
A further application was made on 23rd September 1999 (“the 1999 Application”) to the Secretary of State, in accordance with those Rules, for a further Order (“the 1999 draft Order”) under those sections of the 1992 Act to authorise further works which replaced in part works proposed to be authorised by the 1997 draft Order.
The Secretary of State caused an inquiry to be held for the purposes of the 1997 Application and the 1999 Application pursuant to section 11 of the 1992 Act.
At the request of the Secretary of State, a further draft Order consolidating the proposals comprised in the 1999 Order and, so far as not replaced by those proposals, the proposals comprised in the 1997 Order was prepared.
The Secretary of State, having considered the objections made and not withdrawn and the reports of the persons who held the inquiry, has determined to make an Order giving effect to the proposals comprised in the 1997 Application and the 1999 Application with modifications which in his opinion do not make any substantial change in those proposals.
Notice of the Secretary of State’s determination was published in the London Gazette on 24th October 2006.
The Secretary of State is satisfied that the provision of an alternative right of way for each of the streets mentioned in Part 2 of Schedule 4 to this Order is not required.
Accordingly, the Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred on him by sections 1, 3 and 5 of, and paragraphs 1 to 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 16 and 17 of Schedule 1 to, the 1992 Act hereby makes the following Order:—
