I am writing a legal dissertation focusing on nationally significant infrastructure projects including related housing developments, under s160 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016.

I was just wondering if there are any applications for NSIPs with related housing currently in existence?

If you have any other information you could offer me about the potential effects of including housing provision within the NSIP planning process, that would be brilliant.

Advice given

Thank you for your query regarding inclusion of housing in a National Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) application. There is currently no NSIP application submitted to the Planning Inspectorate that has included housing as a part of the application. Nor are there any projects in the pre-application stage that has included housing as part of the project.

In regards of your second query, the Department for Communities and Local Government issued in March 2017 guidance on including housing in an NSIP application which might be of interest to you.

Further information about how many NSIP application the Planning Inspectorate has received and which of those has been approved can be found on the National Infrastructure Planning website under the tab Projects
