How national projects are decided
Projects above certain sizes, such as a solar farm over 100 megawatts, a reservoir holding over 30 million cubic metres or a new motorway, are "nationally significant". The promoter consults locally, then applies for a development consent order. An independent panel examines the application and recommends a decision, and the Secretary of State decides. Councils are consulted but do not decide.
"In play" means at pre-application, in the formal process, or decided in the last three years.
Housing schemes, however large, are decided by the council. See the largest housing developments in planning.
