On 16 July 2025, we submitted our response to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero’s consultation on community benefits schemes and shared ownership models for low carbon energy infrastructure.  The response is available here: 250716 NIPA response to Com Bens consultation FINAL

The Policy and Practice Working Group would like to thank NIPA members for their time and valued contributions. 

There are many opportunities for members to help formulate NIPA’s responses to government consultations. Next up is biodiversity net gain for Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects, due on 24 July 2025. If you are keen to get involved in this or future responses, please email info@nipa-uk.org and our Policy and Practice working group leads, Peta Donkin and David Grattan, will be in touch!
