Such a simple yet effective change to help speed up planning and delivery. The obsession with vague terms like "beauty" did nothing to help bring schemes forwards.
Keir Starmer's first PMQs as PM Green MP Adrian Ramsay: "How will the PM show leadership on the climate crisis?" Starmer: "He talks about leadership and I'd ask him to show some" "It's extraordinary that as a Green MP he's opposing green developments in his own constituency!"

Just so very wrong
Hunt says we “may not be able to afford” something “that saves us money in 20 years’ time but costs a lot of money now” so the government will be prioritising things that can save money in the next 5 years. So much for “long-term decisions for a brighter future”
