The HyNet Carbon Dioxide Pipeline Order 2024

The Panel has submitted a report and recommendation to the Secretary of State in accordance with section 74(2) of the 2008 Act.

In accordance with section 131(5) of the 2008 Act the Secretary of State is satisfied that where this Order authorises the compulsory acquisition of land forming part of an open space special category land that land is less than 200 square metres in extent and the giving in exchange of other land is unnecessary, whether in the interests of the persons, if any, entitled to rights of common or other rights or in the interests of the public.

The Secretary of State is satisfied that open space within the Order land, when burdened with any new rights authorised for compulsory acquisition under the terms of this Order, will be no less advantageous than it was before such acquisition, to the persons 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.

The Secretary of State, having decided the application, has determined 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.
