Abstract

Comprises a policy statement by the DCLG on the extension of the nationally significant infrastructure planning regime to business and commercial projects via draft regulations. These regulations prescribe the types of business and commercial projects that are capable of using the regime. They are construction projects in a range of fields that are potentially nationally significant, including offices, research and development, manufacturing, distribution, sport and tourism, and mining projects. Any developer who wishes their project to be dealt with under the 2008 Act will need first to ask the Secretary of State for a direction. The Secretary of State must be satisfied that the project both falls within one of the prescribed types of project and is nationally significant.
