The Planning Inspectorate has proudly introduced 'Find a National Infrastructure Project', a cutting-edge online platform dedicated to large-scale projects, in alignment with the government's

NSIP (Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project) reform action plan.

This launch signifies a pivotal milestone in our continuous endeavor to enhance processes and facilitate broader participation in the NSIP process. 'Find a National Infrastructure Project' stands as a vital digital resource offering comprehensive information and engagement opportunities regarding NSIPs, encompassing significant ventures like power stations, highways, and power lines. As the authority responsible for scrutinizing applications of this magnitude in England and Wales, the Planning Inspectorate has meticulously designed the platform to enable seamless navigation through each stage of the NSIP process.

Following an extensive phase of rigorous testing and modernization, the site has undergone significant improvements to ensure accessibility for both the public and planning professionals, delivering all necessary information at their fingertips. Key features of the platform include the ability to register for participation, submit representations, and enlist as an interested party in the examination process. Additionally, users can easily access project-related documents and explore submissions from other participants through dedicated pages.

In a recent development, all English projects have transitioned to the new platform, marking a significant advancement in accessibility and user experience. Projects situated partially or entirely in Wales will continue to utilize the legacy website during the translation of content into Welsh. It is anticipated that these projects will migrate to the new platform by the summer, further bolstering the accessibility and inclusivity of the NSIP process.
