Abstract

Provides the framework for future decisions on proposals for new port development to be taken by the Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC) established under the 2008 Act to deal with nationally significant infrastructure proposals; it may also be a relevant consideration for the Marine Management Organisation proposed in the Marine and Coastal Access Bill which will in future decide other port development proposals. It applies, wherever relevant, to associated development, such as road and rail links, for which consent is sought alongside that for the principal development.
