UKWA has also responded to the Government’s consultation on the proposed reforms to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). Our response highlights the importance of ensuring that planning reforms adequately consider the needs of the warehousing and logistics sector, particularly in terms of land availability, infrastructure development, and support for sustainable growth.https://www.ukwa.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/New-policy-Briefing-Mailchimp-Month-2-13-1024×400.pngWe also underscored the importance of technical coordination, which can prevent delays in energy access and ensure consistency between regional plans and actual energy availability. This is crucial for maintaining smooth operations as our sector transitions towards more sustainable practices. Furthermore, we supported Ofgem’s proposal for regular updates to the RESP, which will help businesses make informed decisions and adapt to changing energy landscapes.
