The UK government has committed to ensuring that national planning policy ‘reflects the needs and priority’ of freeports and investment zones.
This would give local planning authorities and businesses “greater certainty and clarity”, according to the Freeports Delivery Roadmap.
It features more than 50 cross-government measures, including a £150 million Investment Opportunities Fund to help freeports and investment zones respond quickly to land large investment opportunities as they arise, to “further accelerate much-needed trade and investment in key port areas across the country”.
The roadmap states: “The government will ensure that relevant national planning policy reflects the needs and priority of freeports and investment zones, giving local planning authorities and businesses greater certainty and clarity.”
