Details

For the first time the National Infrastructure Plan 2013 brings together analysis of the UK’s infrastructure needs across different sectors now and in the future. It articulates the government’s approach, sector by sector, to identifying and delivering the infrastructure that is needed – and the rationale for selecting each of the government’s Top 40 priority investments, providing more detail on the timing, funding and status of each.

The National Infrastructure Plan 2013 sets out new ways in which the government will drive delivery of the Top 40 investments, including a dedicated ‘hot-desk’ in Infrastructure UK where Top 40 project owners can raise issues of concern, special consideration in the planning regime and UK Guarantees Scheme. To contact the hot-desk, please email top40enquiries@hmtreasury.gsi.gov.uk

The plan also sets out a new Major Infrastructure Tracking unit within Infrastructure UK which will allow it to track the progress of each Top 40 investment.
