Infrastructure 

Infrastructure projects include a wide variety of schemes, such as trams, railways, harbour works, energy schemes (including wind farms, both onshore and offshore), bridges and roads. There exists a variety of statutory procedures for gaining consent or authorisation for such projects. Members of Chambers are actively engaged in all of these fields, and some of our more notable cases in recent years include:

•  Involvement on behalf of various parties in respect of the Crossrail Bill; also Mersey Tunnels Bill
• TWOs for Thameslink, Merseytram, two extensions to the Birmingham Metro, various schemes for the Manchester Metrolink, Cambridgeshire Guided Busway, Leigh Guided Busway, various DLR proposals.
• Promotion (by Harbour Revision Order and/or under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990) of harbour projects at Dibden Bay, Hull, Poole, Teignmouth, Bristol.
• Major windfarm proposals in England and Wales, including Caton Moor (repowering), Little Cheyne Court, Scout Moor, Whinash, Keadby; Offshore proposals including London Array, Greater Gabbard and Scarweather Sands. Projects in Scotland including Harestanes, Clashindarroch, Snow Goat and Lochelbank.
• Infrastructure works and other proposals such Poole Harbour Bridge, Thames Gateway Bridge, Central London Congestion Charging (and western extension of scheme).
