Transport and Energy Infrastructure

New infrastructure funding announced to support housing delivery  is this month’s headline news.

We also report on the latest updates on HS2, and on the North of England leaders’ call for devolution and a fairer transport deal for the North.

Also for transport, we cover the funding announcement for five new railway stations, the development consent order (DCO) granted for the Barking Riverside Overground extension, and the publication of research into the economic impacts of night flights.

On energy, we report on the launch of an independent review into energy costs, the DCO granted for the Richborough Connection Project and the appeal decision that has termed a gas power plant as renewable infrastructure.

Read more on this and other new law and policy initiatives in Lichfields’ latest Transport and Energy Infrastructure Planning News. 

 

In addition, Parliament returns today; we anticipate planning policy-related announcements to emerge in the next ten days, before Parliament rises again for party conference season.
