Round table discussion – Planning Act 2008

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCGL) are consulting on the Planning Act 2008 as part of an operational review. SoLR will hold a virtual round-table discussion with members so that we can provide a coordinated response specific to our areas of interest in relation to the following:

1. What Government, its Arms-Length Bodies and other statutory bodies could do to accelerate NSIP applications.

2. Aspects of the examination and decision process which might be enhanced.

3. Impediments to physically implementing NSIP projects.

4. Digital improvements to the regime.

5. Cross-government co-ordination including Government Departments and Arms-Length Bodies.
