Government Confirms Major Overhaul of Electricity Infrastructure Consents and Land Access Rights

The Government has confirmed that it will proceed with its package of reforms to accelerate electricity network deployment following consultation last year. The reforms are focussed on improving the planning and consenting of network infrastructure, extending and clarifying land access rights for operators, and providing greater protections for landowners. The measures are wide-ranging, in some cases going beyond the original proposals in response to consultation feedback, and will require changes to elements of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, the Electricity Act 1989, and the DCO Planning Act 2008 consenting regimes. They are expected to be introduced later this year via legislation and updated guidance.
