Recommendation 12
12
Guidance on Centralised Strategic Network Plan endorsement in EN-1 remains unclear.
Conclusion
We welcome the decision to endorse the Centralised Strategic Network Plan (CSNP) in the National Policy Statements. However, we are concerned that the proposed guidance in paragraphs 3.3.78 to 3.3.80 of EN-1 is not clear enough about what, precisely, it is from the CSNP that is being endorsed. This must be unambiguous, to avoid unnecessary argument about the issue during the development consent process. (Conclusion, Paragraph 40)
