Infrastructure Planning Blog

In this series, we follow infrastructure permissions and consents, with a view to advocating positive change in-line with the Government’s ambitious objectives.

We delve into key topics affecting the infrastructure landscape, including government announcements, decisions on development consent, court cases, new bills and papers and more.

You can also stay up to date with our latest entries by signing up to our mailing list. By signing up, you’ll receive each weekly blog, and a monthly round-up of these insights, straight to your inbox.
