The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) has published a working paper inviting views on how the Government could reform the process for consenting Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIP)s.
This paper forms part of a series of working papers on different aspects of planning reform, designed to inform further policy development in collaboration with the wider sector.
A number of measures are proposed that could be taken to streamline the consenting process for national infrastructure and to enable faster decision making, whilst ensuring the process is fair and certain.
