Channel Tunnel Rail Link Act 1996

25 (1) Development shall be carried out in accordance with arrangements approved by the county planning authority at the request of the nominated undertaker with respect to the means and routes by which anything is to be transported on a highway by large goods vehicle to a working or storage site, a site where it will be re-used or a waste disposal site.

(2) The only ground on which the county planning authority may refuse to approve arrangements for the purposes of this paragraph is—

(a) that the arrangements relate to development which, for the purposes of regulating the matter in question, ought to and can reasonably be considered in conjunction with other permitted development which is to be carried out in the authority’s area, or

(b) that the arrangements ought to be modified—

(i) to preserve the local environment, local amenity or a site of archaeological or historic interest or nature conservation value, or

(ii) to prevent or reduce prejudicial effects on road safety or on the free flow of traffic in the local area,

and are reasonably capable of being so modified.

(3) The county planning authority may only impose conditions on approval for the purposes of this paragraph with the agreement of the nominated undertaker.

(4) In this paragraph, “large goods vehicle” has the same meaning as in Part IV of the [1988 c. 52.] Road Traffic Act 1988.
