The London Resort
Enquiry
We noted comments, in relation to London Resort, that DCO’s may now include Housing.
Can you tell us if Highways DCO’s are included in this change?
Advice given
The guidance on Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects and Housing published by the Department for Communities and Local Government in March 2017 states:
“The changes made by the 2016 Act allow development consent to be granted for housing related to any infrastructure project that requires development consent under the 2008 Act as long as the project is to be carried out in England, and/or in waters adjacent to England (up to the seaward limits of the territorial sea).”
