Policy Statement On Space And Land Use

This national policy statement (NPS) sets out national policy for the energy infrastructure. A further five technology-specific NPSs for the energy sector cover: fossil fuel electricity generation (EN-2) (ISBN 9780108510786); renewable electricity generation (both onshore and offshore) (EN-3) (ISBN 9780108510793); gas supply infrastructure and gas and oil pipelines (EN-4) (ISBN 9780108510809); the electricity transmission and distribution network (EN-5) (ISBN 9780108510816); and nuclear power generation (EN-6) (ISBN 9780108510823). An Impact assessment is also available (ISBN 9780108510830). The NPSs have effect on the decisions by the Infrastructure Planning Commission on application for energy developments. This statement outlines the Government's objectives for the power sector in order to meet its energy and climate change strategy. It sets out the need for new energy infrastructure and the assessment principles and generic impacts.

This Waste Water National Policy Statement (NPS) will be used by the decision maker (formerly the Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC)) as the primary basis for deciding development consent applications for waste water developments that fall within the definition of of Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) in the Planning Act 2008. The NPS sets out a justification for new waste water infrastructure and provides information on to two projects - the proposed treatment works at Deephams in North East London, and the Thames Tunnel which will carry waste water from sewage overflows which currently run into the Thames. Under the new guidelines, applicants of Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects will need to consider aspects such as the standard of design, whether any alternatives exist to the project, pollution control and wildlife conservation. The Government is taking measures to lessen demands on waste water infrastructure in England through sustainable drainage systems. However, more infrastructure is required to prevent environmental damage and poor water quality.
