Detail of outcome
A summary of responses, and the government’s response to the consultation on ‘Major infrastructure planning: expanding and improving the ‘one stop shop� approach for consents�.
Original consultation
Consultation description
On 6 September 2012, the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister set out a major package of reforms to housing and planning to help create conditions for economic growth. This announcement included a commitment to ‘work to extend the principle of a one-stop-shop for non-planning consents for major infrastructure�.
The aim of this consultation is to seek views from interested bodies on what consents should be moved within the scope of an expanded ‘one stop shop� for major infrastructure and on proposals for streamlining the current list of statutory consultees that developers are required to consult before applying for a development consent order.
In a separate consultation we are seeking views on proposals to extend the nationally significant infrastructure planning regime to business and commercial projects.
