Pledge on IPC developments

Date: 11/11/2010

Ministers have promised to clarify the Government's proposals for a Major Infrastructure Planning Unit inside the Planning Inspectorate by the end of the year alongside further details of transitional arrangements as the Infrastructure Planning Commission is wound up over the next two years.

That pledge was highlighted in the UK Government's first-ever infrastructure plan, just published, which highlighted the need for a fast-track planning approach for nationally significant infrastructure - projects such as power stations and reservoirs.
