This will allow for red tape and other barriers to be overcome more easily.<\/p>\n<p>Infrastructure plans, policy, and low delivery have reduced the rates of infrastructure delivery as well as the rate of investment in programmes and supply chains, causing an inflation in costs.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the <a href=\"https:\/\/nic.org.uk\/app\/uploads\/NIC-Costs-Report-Final-Oct-2024.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Infrastructure Commission report on cost drivers<\/a> in UK construction found that a plan and strategic vision for infrastructure would help to keep costs low. Therefore, along with NISTA, a 10-year infrastructure strategy.<\/p>\n<p>The Teal book has also been launched, a definitive guide for project delivery in government, intended to make delivery of infrastructure more easy to follow in terms of policy.<\/p>\n<h3>A three-pronged approach<\/h3>\n<p>The NISTA launch is one aspect of three in the government\u2019s approach to streamlining infrastructure delivery. The other two aspects are the 10-year infrastructure strategy, and the refreshed Planning and Infrastructure Bill to bypass blockers to planning permission.<\/p>\n<p>Darren Jones, chief secretary to the treasury, said: \u201cNISTA will get a grip on the delays to infrastructure delivery that for too long have plagued our global reputation with investors. Today we are ushering in a new era for infrastructure delivery, restoring the confidence of businesses to invest and driving a decade of national renewal, powering growth across the country, and delivering on our Plan for Change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sam Gould, the ICE\u2019s director of policy and external affairs said: &#8220;The government\u2019s decision to combine the NIC and the IPA in a new body with end-to-end responsibility for infrastructure is a huge opportunity. There\u2019s wide acceptance that the UK needs infrastructure to meet its economic, environmental, and societal ambitions. It has faced recent delivery challenges, and NISTA has an opportunity to bridge the gap between strategic needs and delivering infrastructure that will benefit the public.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ahead of the 10-Year Infrastructure Strategy, NISTA has a short window to set out how it is going to approach these tasks. The right expertise to plan and successfully deliver infrastructure existed in the NIC and the IPA, now the focus needs to be on getting the job done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Energy UK\u2019s deputy director, policy (systems), Charles Wood: \u201cNISTA\u2019s establishment, alongside the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, offers an opportunity to streamline the strategic delivery of utility infrastructure across the UK. The UK is rapidly moving toward a cleaner energy future, requiring both public and private investment, developed supply chains, skilled workers, and a holistic strategy for delivery. We hope NISTA can support this goal and continue the work of the National Infrastructure Commission, retaining the independent expertise gathered and enabling a more coordinated and cost-effective approach to infrastructure delivery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government must use everything at its disposal to help deliver the energy transition at pace, continuing the coordinated decarbonisation of the power system while increasing a similar effort across the heating, transport, and industrial sectors. This will boost investment in the UK\u2019s clean energy sector, support the\u00a0connection of new demand like data centres, heat networks, and rapid electric vehicle charging &#8211; and enable cost-effective infrastructure that delivers for consumers now and in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Melanie Leech CBE, chief executive, British Property Federation, said: \u201cWhile some might have a wry smile at a Government announcement on more efficient project delivery on 1 April, the UK for too long has been plagued by short termism in infrastructure planning, which has saddled us with long term costs. Whether it\u2019s building new communities, installing renewable energy networks, or unlocking vital logistics and industrial capacity, the property industry is fundamental to the UK\u2019s economic future, and we welcome measures that give more certainty to that investment.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NISTA has launched to cover infrastructure planning and delivery, combining the NIC and IPA into one body and streamlining the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":149945,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[276,579,604],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-149944","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-planning-construction-news","8":"tag-government","9":"tag-infrastructure","10":"tag-nista"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>NISTA launches to streamline infrastructure and services delivery<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"NISTA has launched to cover infrastructure planning and delivery, combining the NIC and IPA into one body and streamlining the process\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/nista-launches-streamline-infrastructure-services-delivery\/149944\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"NISTA launches to streamline infrastructure and services delivery\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"NISTA has launched to cover infrastructure planning and delivery, combining the NIC and IPA into one body and streamlining the process\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/nista-launches-streamline-infrastructure-services-delivery\/149944\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
