National policy statement for ports

Abstract

Comprises a National Policy Statement (NPS) providing the framework for decisions on proposals for new port development, as part of the planning system established under the 2008 Act to deal with nationally significant infrastructure proposals. The NPS is also a relevant consideration for the Marine Management Organisation, established in the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009, which decides other port development proposals, and for local planning authorities where they have a role to play. It applies, wherever relevant, to associated development, such as road and rail links, for which consent is sought alongside that for the principal development. Non-ports associated development should be considered on a case-by-case basis, using appropriate assessment methods consistent with this NPS and with applicable official guidance.

Document History

Supersedes Draft national policy statement for ports (DFT, 2009). A suite of NPSs covering energy have also been released by the DECC (2011). Superseded by 2012 version.
