Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 October 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

All projects brought forward under the NSIP regime must still go through the full development consent order process, including consultation, environmental assessments and public engagement. Our amendment does not reduce scrutiny; it simply removes an unnecessary step to apply for a Section 35 direction for the third-party providers carrying out the development.
