What route will Thames Water use to gain planning approval for the Thames Tunnel?
At this stage, the final ‘route to consent’ has not been determined. The potential routes are: • Individual applications to each local planning authority affected by the tunnel route. • The Mayor of London and/or Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government could determine that the applications are of strategic importance and call them in for determination. • An application for development consent could be made to the proposed Infrastructure Planning Commission, which the Government is in the process of establishing, following the introduction of the Planning Act 2008. The Act paves the way for a new system to consider major infrastructure projects (in England and Wales).
