Implementing geological disposal: land use planning

We are seeking views on a draft National Policy Statement as well as the accompanying Appraisal of Sustainability Report and Habitats Regulations Assessment Report.

The consultation on the draft NPS has now closed. Read the final National Policy Statement.
