Planning for infrastructure projects

Friday 17 January 2025

At the end of the year, the government published the new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), which instructs planners to support the economy by identifying suitable locations for freight and logistics, and says local planners are to have regard to industries of national importance, to support economic growth.  

Logistics UK responded to the NPPF consultation and supports the commitment to fast-track planning decisions on at least 150 major economic infrastructure projects and reforms, outlining how logistics is critical to economic growth.
