Go to Explanatory Note

An application has been made to the Secretary of State, in accordance with the Transport and Works (Applications and Objections Procedure) (England and Wales) Rules 2000(1) for an Order under sections 1 and 5 of the Transport and Works Act 1992(2) (“the 1992 Act”).

The Secretary of State caused an inquiry to be held for the purposes of the application pursuant to section 11 of the 1992 Act.

The Secretary of State, having considered the objections made and not withdrawn and the report of the person who held the inquiry has determined to make an Order giving effect to the proposals comprised in the application with modifications which in her opinion do not make any substantial change to the proposals.

The Secretary of State is satisfied that the provision of an alternative right of way for each of the streets mentioned in Part 2 of Schedule 3 and Part 3 of Schedule 7 is not required.

Notice of the Secretary of State’s determination was published in the London Gazette on 25th July 2008.

Accordingly, the Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 1 and 5 of, and paragraphs 1 to 8, 10 to 12, and 15 to 17 of Schedule 1 to, the 1992 Act makes the following Order:—

(1)

S.I. 2000/2190. As made under sections 6, 6A, 7 and 10 of the Transport and Works Act 1992. Back [1]
