That was extremely helpful, but it indicates that the change in threshold is more for the benefit of the IPC and the system than it is necessarily for the benefit of the promoter. One remembers the case of the Yorkshire transmission line, when 10 years elapsed between the application and when the line was finally built. One would have thought, therefore, that people would have said, ““For goodness’ sake let us have this new procedure to avoid that sort of thing””. However, if the change in threshold is intended not to crowd out the whole process in the hands of the IPC, I can understand that. Maybe that is the explanation. I am most grateful to the noble Lord.
