Ms Sarif requested direction to examples of initiatives applied to residential developments in either greenfield or urban renewal sites on the IPC website.

Advice given

The Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC) is the independent body which examines major infrastructure proposals in England and Wales. The IPC can only examine proposals which fall within the definitions set out in section 14-30 of The Planning Act 2008 (PA 2008); known as Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs). To this end, PA 2008 does not make provision for the examination by the IPC of residential developments.

In England, we examine applications for development consent from the energy, transport, waste, waste water and waste sectors. In Wales, we examine applications for energy and harbour development, subject to detailed provisions in the PA 2008; other matters are for Welsh Ministers.
