Dalcour Maclaren says Planning and Infrastructure Act likely to cut consenting timelines and streamline consultation

Dalcour Maclaren says the new Planning and Infrastructure Act, which is shortly due to receive Royal Assent, is expected to help speed up the delivery of major UK energy, water, transport and utilities projects by reducing delays and simplifying the consenting process. The specialist infrastructure and utilities consultancy says the reforms come at a critical time, with faster decisions anticipated to support the UK’s net zero commitments and wider economic priorities.
