Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what measures are in place to safeguard land for the UK’s logistics network, including (1) transport, (2) intermodal sites, (3) warehousing, and (4) other facilities.

The Government’s 2022 Future of Freight plan sets out measures to ensure the planning system makes sufficient land available for the freight and logistics industry, now and in the future. The primary goal of these measures is to increase the number of sites allocated for freight and supply infrastructure. As committed in the Future of Freight plan, the Government has recently opened a call for evidence on freight and the planning system. The Government will use the responses to this call for evidence to understand how best to meet the needs of the freight sector through planning reform.
