A plan that brings together all of the UK government’s infrastructure priorities over the next five years has been published today (23 March 2016).

This new National Infrastructure Delivery Plan brings together the government’s plans for this Parliament to support large-scale housing and regeneration, as well as investment in new local schools, hospitals and prisons.

These plans are underpinned by the a government commitment to invest over £100 billion in infrastructure by 2020-21, together with significant investment by the private sector, to deliver important projects that are vital to grow the economy and improve people’s lives.

More of this investment is now being targeted to bring benefits to the local economy and community. The plan also highlights the government’s commitment to build a Northern Powerhouse, by connecting up the great towns and cities of the North.

The plan incorporates the latest version of the National infrastructure Pipeline which highlights over £425 billion worth of planned investment in over 600 major projects and programmes across the UK to 2020-21 and beyond. In addition the plan sets out £58 billion of public investment for housing and regeneration, education, health and justice.
