The application was examined by a Panel of two members (“the Panel”) (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 2010(3).

The Panel, having considered the representations made and not withdrawn and the application together with the accompanying documents, in accordance with section 83 of the 2008 Act, has submitted a report and recommendation to the Secretary of State.

The Secretary of State, having considered the representations made and not withdrawn, and the report of the Panel, has decided to make an Order granting development consent for the development described in the application with modifications which in the opinion of the Secretary of State do not make any substantial changes to the proposals comprised in the application.

The Secretary of State is satisfied that replacement land (as that term is defined in section 131(12) of the 2008 Act) has been or will be given in exchange for the special category land (identified in Part 1 of Schedule 10 to this Order), and replacement land has been or will be vested in the person or persons in whom the special category land is vested and subject to the same rights, trusts and incidents as attach to the special category land, and that, accordingly, section 131(4) of the 2008 Act applies.

The Secretary of State is satisfied that replacement land (as that term is defined in section 132(12) of the 2008 Act) has been or will be given in exchange for the order rights (as defined in that section) to be acquired over the special category (rights) land (identified in Part 2 of Schedule 10 to this Order), and replacement land has been or will be vested in the person or persons in whom the special category (rights) land is vested and subject to the same rights, trusts and incidents as attach to that land (ignoring this Order), and that, accordingly, section 132(4) of the 2008 Act applies.

The Secretary of State is satisfied that the special category (rights) land (as identified in Part 3 of Schedule 10 to this Order), when burdened with any new rights authorised to be compulsorily acquired under this Order, will be no less advantageous than it was before to the 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.
