The publication of the Housing White Paper, ‘Fixing our broken housing market’ is this month’s headline news.
We also report on the draft Airports National Policy Statement and UK airspace policy, and the latest National Infrastructure Commission call for evidence for a study of new technologies for improving infrastructure productivity.
 
Also for transport, the introduction of both the Vehicle Technology and Aviation Bill 2016-17 and draft Spaceflight Bill are also covered, as well as the Freight Carbon Review 2017 and the HS2 Bill receiving Royal Assent.
 
On energy, we provide the latest updates on the North London heat and power scheme being granted development consent, and the consultation launched to transpose the EIA Directive in to English law.
