Tom Carpen, NIPA Board Chair said: “The Planning and Infrastructure Act is a crucial piece of legislation and, along with wider reforms, we believe it should unlock the pace and quality of infrastructure delivery. The next challenge is for practitioners to embrace the opportunities the Act creates, as well as all public bodies. The National Infrastructure Planning Association brings together expert practitioners passionate about planning and delivering infrastructure in the national interest. It was therefore a privilege to bring our collective expertise to the ministerial roundtable and reiterate our commitment to working with government to drive better national infrastructure planning and delivery, and to make the most of the new Act in its implementation.”
