The Government will publish new National Infrastructure Planning Guidance by Summer 2026. The updated guidance will address pre-application processes, minimise refusals at the acceptance stage, set a four-month expectation for the pre-examination period, and strengthen the Initial Assessment of Principal Issues (IAPI) to focus examinations on material matters. This is a comprehensive acceptance of the Taskforce's DCO streamlining recommendations, delivered through guidance rather than legislation.
