The Infrastructure Planning (Waste Water Transfer and Storage) Order 2012
Regulation 2 amends the Planning Act 2008 (“the 2008 Act”). In section 14(1), it extends the categories of infrastructure project which are nationally significant for the purposes of the 2008 Act by adding to them, subject to section 29 of the 2008 Act (see section 14(2)), the construction or alteration of infrastructure for the transfer or storage of waste water, but it also limits these additional categories by limitations inserted in section 29. These limitations in section 29 provide criteria for determining whether any particular project for the construction or alteration of such infrastructure is to be treated as a nationally significant infrastructure project.
