Help Shape the Future of Infrastructure Consultation – UWE SURVEY Commissioned by NIPA
January 13, 2026
Help Shape the Future of Infrastructure Consultation
The consultation process for Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects is changing under the Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025.
As part of a research project led by UWE Bristol and commissioned by the National Infrastructure Planning Association (NIPA-UK.ORG), we are inviting stakeholders with experience of NSIP consultation to share their views on what “good practice” should look like under the new regime.
Your insights will help us:
✅Identify what makes consultation effective and meaningful
✅Learn from direct project experiences
✅Inform future guidance to improve consultation practices
There are two routes to complete the survey:
1️ – For project promoters and their advisors engaging in the planning and delivery of projects, including those who have designed and carried out consultation:
2️ – For those who have participated in consultation sharing their views and insights on projects:
Either route should take 10–15 minutes and both surveys are open until 31 January 2026.
