The London planning team at Herbert Smith Freehills has been heavily involved in the infrastructure planning world for many years. We have acted on some of the biggest and most high-profile nationally significant infrastructure project (NSIP) applications to go through the Planning Act 2008 process, from the Hinkley Point and Sizewell new nuclear power stations to the expansion of Gatwick Airport and the Aquind Interconnector between the UK and France.

Our monthly update highlights what we consider to be the most interesting and topical events from the previous month within the NSIP world, together with our opinions on key issues that matter to our clients. Our latest update for December 2021 is available here.

We hope that everyone who is involved in the NSIP world or keen to learn more about it will find this update helpful. If you would like to receive this update directly from us on a regular basis, or have any questions on anything mentioned in the update or feedback to share on what you would find useful, please get in touch.
