Recommendation 5
5
Paragraph: 31
Undefined "residual" greenhouse gas emissions in NNNPS leave infrastructure schemes vulnerable to legal challenge.
Conclusion
The draft NNNPS permits “residual” greenhouse gas emissions from NSIPs, but does not define what “residual” means, nor does it set out a threshold or limits for a level of emissions that would be deemed “residual”. Accordingly, schemes which are likely to cause an increase in carbon emissions may remain vulnerable to legal challenge.
