The ‘National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline’ and the publication of the National Infrastructure Commission’s report on 5G deployment are headline news in this ‘catch-up and preview’ special edition of the Planning News.
We also report on: the National Infrastructure Commission’s papers on the drivers of future infrastructure supply and demand in the UK, and new rounds of investment into innovative infrastructural and transport proposals. 
Also for transport, the Transport Secretary’s Written Statement on the future of the rail network is covered, as well as the latest on High Speed 2 and rail freight policies.
On energy, we provide the latest updates on the Chief Planner’s letter highlighting Government support for shale exploration, and report the High Court decision on a Yorkshire fracking approval.
Read more on this and other new law and policy initiatives in Lichfields' latest Transport and Energy Infrastructure Planning News.
