79  Special procedure for applications relating to certain electricity works

(1)     This section has effect in cases where a person who proposes to carry on an activity must first make both—

(a)     an application for a marine licence to carry on that activity (the “marine licence application”), and

(b)     a related application for a generating station consent (the “generating station application”).

(2)     A “related application for a generating station consent” is an application for a consent under section 36 of the Electricity Act (consent for construction etc of generating stations) in relation to—

(a)     the activity for which the marine licence is required, or

(b)     other works to be undertaken in connection with that activity.

(3)     In any case where—

(a)     both the marine licence application and the generating station application have been made,

(b)     the generating station authority decides (with the agreement of the Welsh Ministers, if they are the marine licence authority and the Secretary of State is the generating station authority) that the two applications are to be considered together, and

(c)     the generating station authority has given notice of that decision to the applicant,

the two applications are to be considered together.
