3.1.1 The key relevant National Policy Statements (NPSs) for the Project are the NPS for National Networks (NPSNN) and the Overarching National Policy Statement for Energy (NPS EN-1) and these contain provisions on planning obligations. Paragraph 4.10 of the NPSNN and Paragraph 4.1.8 of NPS EN-1 state that the Secretary of State may take into account any development consent obligations agreed with the local authority. These must be:
a. necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms
b. directly related to the proposed development
c. fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development.
3.1.2 These draft Heads of Terms should be read in conjunction with the DCO application including the requirements set out in Schedule 2 of the Draft DCO (Application Document 3.1).
