Recommendation 36

Paragraph: 131
Planning system design inadequate for balancing local concerns with electricity infrastructure rollout
Conclusion
Despite recent reforms to the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects regime in respect of energy infrastructure and to the National Planning Policy Framework, we are not convinced that the current design of the planning system is adequate to balance local concerns and interests against the need for rapid rollout of electricity infrastructure.
