Recommendation 1

1 Paragraph: 18

Review the National Networks National Policy Statement proactively following changes to net zero policies.

Recommendation
The review of the NNNPS was overdue. It was launched to bring the policy framework for major infrastructure schemes up to date, and as a response to legal challenges to schemes prompted by the introduction of significant net zero legislation. The Government should have been proactive and reviewed the NNNPS upon the introduction of net zero targets, and should do so when any changes are made to the net zero target policies.
