The Government has launched a call for evidence on the interaction between freight and logistics and the planning system in England. The evidence we receive will help underpin any new or amended planning policies that reflect the government’s vision and expectations for local planning authorities in planning for freight.

The call for evidence closes on 9 October 2023.
