Why was the RTS removed from PI website

Posted on November 14, 2025November 15, 2025 by ecwlarcombe
For years – the River Thames Scheme (RTS) has been shown as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (in the pre-application stage) on the Planning Inspectorate (PI) web site.  The EA has now spent over £100m on RTS project development.
Today – it appears the RTS is no longer shown on the PI web site.  After repeated searches, I asked the PI to please explain why the RTS is no longer shown on the their web site.  The PI confirmed that the RTS is not listed on the PI website because it appears that somebody has not paid the bill.
What do I say?   Comments welcome.
