Recommendation 2
2
Introduce regular five-year review periods for the National Networks National Policy Statement.
Recommendation
The Government should introduce five-year review periods for the NNNPS, with a shorter term where changes in policy decisions or policy drivers warrant it. This does not necessarily mean that wholesale revisions should be made to the NNNPS every five years, but the reviews would provide an opportunity for the Department for Transport to consider the wider policy environment and Government priorities. The Government could also consider the modular approach suggested by the National Infrastructure Commission. (Paragraph 19) Legal challenges to schemes on climate grounds
