On 18 May 2016, the Queen delivered her speech for the State Opening of Parliament for 2016/17. The purpose of the Queen’s Speech is to set out the government’s agenda for the coming session, outlining proposed policies and legislation.

The newly announced bills of most relevance to the built environment and infrastructure include the following:

= Modern Transport Bill =

In perhaps the most immediately eye-catching detail of the speech, this bill is intended to enable the future development of the UK’s first commercial spaceports, thereby putting Britain ‘at the forefront of the modern transport revolution’.

This is supported by a market study by the Teals Group which estimates that drone production will soar from the current worldwide production of $4 billion annually to $414 bn. The bill is to include new rules to bring safe commercial and personal drone flight a step closer for households and businesses.

The bill will also include new laws to make the UK ready for driverless cars. Trials are already underway in various locations round the country, and it is expected that automated vehicles will begin to be introduced later in 2016.

= Neighbourhood Planning and Infrastructure Bill =

This bill aims to support the Government’s ambitious target to deliver one million new homes, while protecting areas such as the Green Belt.

Measures will aim to reform planning and speed up the planning process by minimising delays caused by pre-commencement planning conditions. The Government wants to curtail excessive planning that can slow down or stop the construction of homes after permission has been granted. Such conditions, it is intended, will only be imposed by local planning authorities when they are ‘absolutely necessary’.

The bill provides a new statutory basis for the independent National Infrastructure Commission. It also seeks to streamline processes that support neighbourhood cohesion with regard to the building of projects in local areas.

The bill will also enable the privatisation of the Land Registry, a plan that was dropped after a consultation by the Coalition government in 2014 when Liberal Democrat and Conservative politicians could not agree.

= Local Growth and Jobs Bill =

This bill introduces new measures to allow combined authority mayors to levy business rate supplements in order to fund infrastructure projects where there is the support of local business.

= Digital Economy Bill =

This bill is aimed at introducing new and simpler planning rules for building broadband infrastructure and mobile network capabilities.

= Wales Bill =

Further powers will be devolved to Welsh Ministers over consenting for all onshore wind in Wales and up to 350 megawatts for all other onshore and offshore energy projects.

The bill will also devolve to the Assembly powers over areas such as ports and sewerage services in Wales.
