Renewable Energy: Planning Permission
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the speech of 8 July 2024 by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what methodology she plans to use to prioritise energy projects.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
As the Chancellor set out on 8 July, the Government will give priority to energy projects in the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects regime to ensure that they make swift progress. This is one of a number of changes the Government intends to make to build the infrastructure that we need. We will set out more details in due course.
