⭐Planing News ⭐ The government plans to review planning policies for 'nationally significant infrastructure projects' (NSIPs) more frequently to boost productivity and economic growth. National policy statements for energy, water, and national networks will be reviewed every five years instead of 10, aligning with a recommendation from the National Infrastructure Commission. The government aims to link NPSs to spatial plans, fostering a geospatial approach in transport, water, waste, and wastewater sectors. The update aligns with the government's broader reforms to the NSIPs consenting process, focusing on pre-application support and increased funding for local authorities. #PlanningReform #InfrastructureDevelopment
