Executive Summary
Energy UK welcomes the publication of the Banner Review. We note that Judicial Review is of particular concern for energy projects, as just over half of the Judicial Reviews lodged since the introduction of the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects scheme have affected energy projects. While we are largely in agreement with the Review’s findings, it is not clear that implementation of the Review’s findings will significantly reduce time taken for completion of projects compared to the status quo. We are therefore encouraging connectivity of the Review with other wider reforms to the planning system.
