Welcome to Energy and Infrastructure Consenting Notes, our new infrastructure planning blog.

Who are we?

The London planning team at Herbert Smith Freehills has promoted 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. We are promoting DCOs for solar projects, energy from waste plants, and advising on carbon capture and storage in the North Sea.

What is the new blog?

Through this blog we will be publishing regular updates on what we consider to be the most interesting and topical developments, together with our opinions on key issues that matter to our clients.

We hope that everyone who is involved in the NSIP world or keen to learn more about it will find this blog helpful. If you have any questions on anything mentioned in this blog or have any feedback, please do get in touch using the contact details below.

What are the monthly updates?

To ensure that we are always up to date with the latest developments, our team prepares a monthly update highlighting the key events from the previous month within the NSIP world. We have now decided to share this update more widely as newsletter to be published each month on our infrastructure planning blog.

Please subscribe to be notified of new blog posts and to receive our monthly infrastructure update when published.
