I earlier referred to the fact that this very much reflects that the current planning system is not fit for purpose. Hence, we have had long delays for various major infrastructure projects. However, why we are coming up with an SI to circumnavigate a system rather than trying to fix one that we all recognise is not working? I should be pleased to hear from the Minister how this Government intend to address that, so that SIs like this would not be necessary because the planning system works properly.
