The London planning team at Herbert Smith Freehills has been heavily involved in the energy and infrastructure consenting world for many years. We have acted on some of the biggest and most high-profile nationally significant infrastructure project applications to go through the Planning Act 2008 process, from the Hinkley Point and Sizewell new nuclear power stations to the expansion of Gatwick Airport and the AQUIND Interconnector between the UK and France.
