Transport and Works Act 1992 (1992 c 42)

The 1992 Act streamlines the approval processes for transport-related works in the UK. It allows certain transport infrastructure projects, such as railways, tramways, and inland waterways, to be authorised through an order made by the Secretary of State, rather than requiring a specific Act of Parliament. This legislative change was initiated to expedite transport project implementation, reduce procedural delays, and enhance efficiency. Additionally, it includes provisions for environmental assessments and public consultations, ensuring that infrastructural developments are scrutinized for their environmental impact and community implications.

Quick and comprehensive access to the most accurate, up-to-date legislation.
