PINS updates pre-application prospectus for NSIPs with mandatory land tracker
The Planning Inspectorate (PINS) has updated its 2024 Pre-application Prospectus for nationally significant infrastructure projects (NSIP) by introducing a mandatory land and rights negotiations tracker as a primary service feature, releasing a new programme document template for use from 1 November 2025, and adding a section clarifying expectations for applicants engaging with the Inspectorate. These changes aim to improve application preparedness, streamline interactions, and support more efficient post-submission processes. Minor stylistic revisions were also made to enhance clarity and consistency throughout the document.
