The landscape of environmental regulation is currently undergoing its biggest change in decades. To help make sense of this, this session will provide a clear, practical overview of the most significant legal and regulatory developments shaping the sector and impacting on infrastructure delivery.
It will also evaluate the appointment of “Lead Environmental Regulators” and one “super regulator” (water) and the extent to which this will facilitate more joined-up approaches to achieving climate and sustainability goals in major infrastructure project delivery.

Through the Planning & Infrastructure Act and the development of identified new towns, the Government has signalled its intention to create new mixed-use, resilient communities supported by an infrastructure -first approach.
Leveraging this opportunity demands clear national direction, public and private sector confidence to invest, a supply chain that talks and works together, and a solid outcomes-based approach.
This closing session will bring together representatives involved at the very heart of infrastructure delivery to discuss how best to address shared risks and opportunities and engage effectively with multiple stakeholders in working towards a shared vision from initial inception through the full project lifecycle.
