Why NR now wishes to extend the compulsory acquisition powers granted by the SST in the 2006 Order?
4.1 NR is not seeking to extend the powers of compulsory acquisition granted by the 2006 Order, but rather it is seeking to overcome previous undertakings not to exercise those powers (NR/4, 7.8.i). The LAO is not accompanied by any applications for new or amended planning, Listed Building or Conservation Area Consents or by an Environmental Statement (“ES”) (NR/3, 4.12). Although the current LAO plan (CD/26) is much more limited in geographical extent than the 2006 Order plan (CD/13), it is otherwise identical (NR/12, page 1).
