  Energy Bill - Onshore wind power: circumstances in which certificates may be issued after 31 March 2016
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  MPs were considering the Energy Bill[1].
  
  The motion passed by the majority of MPs was:
  
  :That this House disagrees with Lords amendment 7T.
  
  The rejected Lords amendment 7T was an amendment to Commons amendment 7 and stated[2]
  
  :Line 145, after â2015,â insert âregardless of whether it was varied after that date by any planning permission, consent or development consent issued under section 73 of  the  Town  and  Country  Planning  Act  1990  (determination  of  applications  to develop land without compliance with conditions previously attached), section 42 of   the   Town   and   Country   Planning   (Scotland)   Act   1997 (determination   of applications  to  develop  land  without  compliance  with  conditions  previously attached), section 36C of this Act (variation of consents under section 36) or under the Planning Act 2008,â
  
  Commons amendment 7[3] sought to introduce a new clause titled: "Onshore wind power: circumstances in which certificates may be issued after 
  31 March 2016".
  
  The amendment is not marked up with line numbers in any of the published materials. Using the context of other amendments it applies to the proposed new section 32LJ which the clause would have inserted in the Electricity Act 1989. The proposed new claise 32LJ was titled: ''The approved development condition'', the rejected amendment applied specifically subsection (4) which stated:
  
  :(4)The documents specified in this subsection areâ 
  :(a) evidence thatâ
  :(i)planning  permission  for  the  station  or  additional capacity was granted on or before 18 June 2015, and
  :(ii) any  conditions  as  to  the  time  period  within  which the  development  to  which the  permission  relates must be begun have not been breached
  
  The rejected amendment provided that the cut off date applied even if the planning permission was later varied.
