Proceeding contribution from Charles Hendry (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on National Policy Statements (Energy).
National Policy Statements (Energy)
We were not limited to eight sites in the process that we went through. We decided that eight of the sites that developers had proposed to us were appropriate and could realistically be developed by 2025. Our concerns about Dungeness related to the special area of conservation, which is protected by law, and we were not persuaded that we could comply in that regard if the site was being developed. We have said that in every other respect Dungeness fulfilled the criteria, so if the special area of conservation issues can be satisfactorily resolved there is no reason why Dungeness could then not come forward separately.
