Welcoming the Government’s plans to speed up delivery of nationally significant infrastructure projects by streamlining the planning process, Tom Greatrex, Chief Executive of the Nuclear Industry Association, said:

“This is an important and welcome step from the Government which will help speed up the delivery of essential new nuclear power stations. Streamlining the planning process will ensure that projects such as Sizewell C and the UK SMR programme are swiftly delivered so they can start generating vital clean power. It also sends out a clear signal to businesses and investors that Britain is serious about its nuclear future and its plans for growth.”
