In this special episode hosted by Jon Stott, Group Managing Director at Ardent, we celebrate Ardent's journey to 100 Development Consent Orders (DCOs), reflecting on the evolution of the DCO regime since its introduction in 2008. Jon is joined by Ardent experts; Viki James (Managing Director of Consents Management), Tom Hacker (Head of Planning and Engagement) and Peter Gibbard (Head of Strategic Growth and Renewables). The discussion covers key changes in regulatory practices and consent management, the significant growing importance of stakeholder engagement, and the unique challenges faced in the booming renewable energy sector. As the DCO process continues to adapt, our experts share insights on best practices, sector trends, and the role of innovative technology in driving meaningful community engagement and regulatory efficiency for major infrastructure projects across the UK.
