Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of Environmental Support for the Transport and Works Act Orders Unit

Notice Description

There are a number of Development Consent Order (DCO) applications to be processed by the Transport and Works Act Orders Unit (TWAOU) (the Unit) over, at least, the next three years up to 2025/27 coupled with a continuing need for applications for Transport and Works Act (TWA) Orders to be processed. For nationally significant infrastructure projects, an application for a DCO is made under the Planning Act 2008, for which there is a statutory deadline of three months for the Secretary of State to make a decision from receipt of the Examining Authority's report. To ensure the Unit is able to meet this statutory deadline, additional environmental management resource is required to provide the requisite environmental support and advice.
