The government is reportedly backpedalling on its
commitment to overhaul planning laws in order to accelerate infrastructure

Queen’s speech with the target of modernising and simplifying the system and
increasing the number of homes being planned by more than a third. The planning
reforms have been met with criticism from countryside campaigners, who said the
changes would lead to the “suburbanisation” of green areas without delivering
much-needed affordable housing. Read more on the Guardian website.
