Also Ministers have placed conditions in the Section 90 Direction, in addition to those agreed with the Local Planning Authority, that the company shall install the necessary plant and pipeworks to ensure that the station can supply heat in the future if the opportunity materialises; and a condition which will reduce the number of HGV movements for transporting concrete to the site of the proposed power station which they believe will go some way to alleviate the concerns of the residents of the Village of Nash.
