<p>Measures for improving resource and capability in the Planning Inspectorate and
statutory consultees were set out in the Nationally significant Infrastructure Planning
Action Plan published by the Department for Levelling Up Housing and Local Communities
in February last year (<a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fnationally-significant-infrastructure-projects-nsip-reforms-action-plan%2Fnationally-significant-infrastructure-action-plan-for-reforms-to-the-planning-process&data=05%7C02%7CParliamentary.PQ%40energysecurity.gov.uk%7C6960772f53754e6c7f1a08dc26447f7b%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C638427322844915980%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=6cM9lGBoSaWVbF72oIu0rMQNdS6tr8rLBwPACev%2BXfU%3D&reserved=0"
