Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 14 October 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Planning Bill.

Planning Bill

We discussed carbon capture storage technology earlier. If it came forward as part of a generating station application it could expect to be included as an associated work to the power station application. But it might be much more than that. It might be a national carbon capture and storage pipeline network, for example, which would be too extensive to be treated as an associated work to a generating station. It could qualify under Clause 20 as an NSIP in its own right as now defined, but it might not. We need these provisions to allow for that kind of flexibility. I cannot anticipate other projects and technologies, but I hope that they may come down the line in the next few years.
