(i)
that Works No?s 1 to 7 may be considered to be an integral element of the proposed generating station and may be incorporated within the description of the authorised development for the purposes of Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Order; and
(ii)
that Works No?s 8 and 9 should be subject to a separate application for planning consent.
