A draft revised National Policy Statement for Ports (NPSP) has been published for consultation, as part of the Government's ongoing reform of infrastructure planning. The statement applies to all ports in England, and Milford Haven in Wales, and associated road and rail links. Announcing the consultation, the Department for Transport stated “...updated proposals will more clearly outline how ports can meet obligations on noise and emissions, increasing the likelihood of achieving successful planning approvals and saving time and money during the planning process.” The consultation is open until July 29th. Any members with experience in this sector are invited to help us formulate our response - contact parliament@ioa.org.uk
