What is the Minister doing to ensure that the appropriate skills are in place across Wales for the new planning systems required in the Infrastructure (Wales) Bill?

Answered by Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 09/10/2023

The Welsh Government is continuing to engage with stakeholders over the any additional skill requirements that result from the new consenting process. Together with our partners we already provide a range of activities to develop the skills of planners and other professionals. The implementation of the Bill will also be supported by specific training and guidance.
