Rivenhall, Essex – Non-Material Change Application to The Rivenhall Generation Station Extension Order

SECTION 153 OF THE PLANNING ACT 2008

PARAGRAPH 2 OF REGULATION 6 OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING (CHANGES TO, AND REVOCATION OF, DEVELOPMENT CONSENT ORDERS) REGULATIONS 2011

NOTICE OF APPLICATION TO MAKE A NON-MATERIAL CHANGE TO THE FOLLOWING DEVELOPMENT CONSENT ORDER

The Rivenhall Generation Station Extension Order 2024 (as amended)

1. The applicant is Indaver Rivenhall Ltd (‘Indaver’) of Kao Hockham Building, Edinburgh Way, Harlow, Essex, CM20 2NQ.

2. Indaver is seeking, by way of an application to the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, a change to The Rivenhall Generation Station Extension Order 2024 (as amended) (‘the Order’) that is not material.

3. The application (‘the Application’) seeks to omit the definition of “approved variation” and amend the definition of “TCPA permission” contained in Article 2(1) of the Order. The definition of “approved variation” which this Application is seeking to omit from the Order was introduced into the made Order at the decision stage by the Secretary of State without any discussion with Indaver or any other party to the examination. It did not form part of the draft Order recommended by the Examining Authority. Similarly, the definition of “TCPA permission” that Indaver requests in this Application be included in the Order formed part of the draft Order recommended by the Examining Authority. As set out in further detail in the Application, Indaver considers that these amendments to the definitions in the Order are required to refer to the context of the authorised development and to prevent an unnecessary duplication of assessment and consenting.

4. The Application documents are available for inspection, free of charge, on the Planning Inspectorate’s website (which is maintained on behalf of the Secretary of State) at: https://national-infrastructure-consenting.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/projects/EN010138Also on Indaver’s website at: https://www.rivenhall-iwmf.co.uk/dco-process/
