Local Transport controversies in England – more chapter and verse

The controversial Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) saga continues this week… LTN is a scheme where motor vehicle traffic in residential streets is significantly reduced by minimising the amount of traffic that comes from vehicles using the streets to get to another destination. In the past month, we have reviewed the legislation behind temporary traffic orders, looking at how easy […]

Article / Stephen Hill

This week saw the publication of the long-awaited energy white paper, probably the most comprehensive overview of how the Government plans to clean up the British energy system and achieve net zero by their 2050 deadline. By our reckoning, no fewer than eight energy related consultations are to be anticipated in 2021: On whether it’s

The Year in Parliament

Article / Stephen Hill

As we’re now at the end of the year, I thought we might take the opportunity to go back through my near-meticulously kept (everyone’s allowed one tautology a year), spreadsheet which covers all mentions of consultation in the Westminster Parliament. Starting next year, we should have a new and improved system that also better covers

This morning saw the Supreme Court judgment on R (Friends of the Earth) v Heathrow Airport Ltd [2020] UKSC 52 overturning a Court of Appeal ruling that declared the Government’s designation of its Airports National Policy Statement (NPS) unlawful.

The Week in Parliament

Article / Stephen Hill

We’re nearly there ladies and gentlemen. Where? Well that’s up to you. Perhaps you’re someone eagerly waiting for the sigh of warmth and comfort that is Christmas at the end of a very difficult year.

Planning for the Future- CPRE publishes open letter opposing proposals

Article / Stephen Hill

The Government’s Planning for the Future consultation has drawn a lot of attention from across many different sectors, much of it critical of the proposals to undertake significant reform of the English planning system. The Institute itself held a round-table on the topic, and the debate there informed our own response to the consultation which

Lambs to the slaughter? The most previewed consultation finally appears…

Article / Stephen Hill

It is sometimes curious which consultations make most of a splash in Parliament, and the reasons they do so can be wide and varied. Most often, they appear frequently because opposition parliamentarians are chasing up what they see as missing consultations or responses (the shared prosperity fund, online harms etc), sometimes because politicians are unhappy

Spending Review November 2020: The consultation prospects

Article / Stephen Hill

On 25th November, the Chancellor of the Exchequer stood before the House of Commons to present his November spending review. I am a little careful about doing this, given that the last time I tried this was on the 2020 Budget, an exercise that a month afterwards was rendered moot by the arrival of coronavirus.
