Ministers to announce significant changes to UK’s planning system

The UK government is set to announce significant changes to the country's planning system. The changes are aimed at boosting economic growth, which has been sluggish. However, there are differences among ministers over the extent of the changes, particularly regarding environmental and legal provisions. The Chancellor is expected to announce a series of measures that will make it easier for developers to build houses and infrastructure projects. This is seen as a way to help fill the £3 billion gap in the estimated £30 billion black hole in the government's budget. The proposed changes to the planning system have caused some chaos within the government, with ministers divided over how radical the changes should be. The article suggests that the differences over the environmental and legal aspects of the changes are particularly contentious.
