This Order prescribes model clauses for inclusion in orders made under section 1 of the Transport and Works Act 1992 (“the Act”), which authorise the construction and operation of certain systems of transport, and ancillary matters. The use of the prescribed clauses is not mandatory: they may be omitted entirely from orders if not appropriate or may be adapted to meet special requirements. Schedule 1 sets out model clauses relating to railways, which term is given a wide definition by the Act. The term includes mainline and underground railways and also mountain railways, mineral lines, pier lines, funiculars and railways operated by bodies concerned with the preservation of railway heritage. Schedule 2 sets out model clauses relating to tramways, which is also defined by the Act. The subjects covered by the model clauses are listed in the table of arrangement at the head of each Schedule. This Order revokes the Transport and Works (Model Clauses for Railways and Tramways) Order 1992 (S.I. 1992/3270). A Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been prepared in connection with this Order because it will have no impact on the costs of business.

Lords · Lords Chamber · 20 October 2008 · Lord Adonis
I was dealing first with the issue of the ancillary matters for which consent can be given alongside a development consent order. The noble Lord is now anticipating the second part of this debate, which relates to the exercise by the IPC of legislative powers. These are distinctly different issues. The first concerns the range of matters, as set out in Schedule 5, over which the IPC has power when granting consent on matters ancillary to a development consent order. The noble Lord raises the point that I now wish to come on to—that is, the ability for the IPC to exercise so-called…
