4.2 The Government accepts this recommendation. 4.3 S.5(6) Planning Act 2008 expressly requires a NPS to set out criteria to be taken into account in the design of that description of development. 4.4 The primary concern for design of port facilities has to be functional, including design for safety and minimising direct environmental impacts. We will make this clear in the final version of the NPSP. 4.5 At the same time, of course, even if form largely follows function, this does not preclude attention to good aesthetics, landscape and seascape views. Guidance on the latter will also be provided separately in the final revised NPSP, updated from previous drafting. 4.6 The final draft amended NPS will take greater account of the National Infrastructure Commission’s (successor body: National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority, NISTA) recommendations for good design in the context of functional infrastructure. This, we believe, is consonant with the Committee’s recommendation on this matter. National Policy Statement for Ports: 5. Decarbonising ports Promoting modal shift
