Important changes proposed to the siting of nuclear power stations

The Government’s consultation on the siting of nuclear power stations beyond 2025 reflects the changing nuclear landscape in the UK and proposes a new approach to national planning policy that is more flexible and developer led.  This is potentially exciting for the developers and manufactures of advanced nuclear technologies such as SMRs if the new policy supports scalability and cost efficiencies.  However, whether the proposed changes will provide optimal support warrants careful consideration, as we explain in this Insight.

This is not just any case on demolition... this is the M&S case on demolition

The refusal of M&S's plans to demolish and rebuild their flagship store on Oxford Street by the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (Michael Gove) has attracted much attention because of the wider implications of this case and the questions it raises for developers promoting similar demolition and rebuild schemes.  It also highlights how the lack of policy clarity and guidance, particularly around how alternatives should be assessed and considered, makes it difficult for developers to have confidence in how they should formulate applications for similar schemes.
