The Infrastructure Podcast: Episode 95

Guest:  Sir John Armitt, Chairman of the National Infrastructure Commission.

Turning policy into delivery - part 2

Today’s podcast is the second of a two-part year end special recorded with Sir John Armitt out-going chairman of the National Infrastructure Commission and all round voice of experience and knowledge when it comes go planning and delivering the UK’s infrastructure needs.

And its the last episode of 2025!

In the last episode we covered a lot of ground talking about NISTA, the all new National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority, the challenges of turning policy into delivery, reforming UK planning and how the government might create the vital clear and consistent policy to drive forward vital investment needed for infrastructure projects that will boost economic growth and transform lives and communities across the UK.

If you haven’t done so already, I heartily recommend you have a listen. Check out episode 94

In part 2 we will build on these themes and talk a bit more about driving down costs and improving outcomes from investment, about delivering more for the public and about ensuring private sector investors and the supply can really engage with the government’s plans.



But first we have a catch up about the National Infrastructure Commission, what it has achieved since 2015 and where it is heading.
