Planning limbo is where a lot of projects are because of an incredibly complicated process. We need to pass the planning Bill. It is controversial. It is the subject of 1,500 amendments at the housing committee, but every place I look I see that our biggest challenge is how long it takes. We want to keep the right of appeal and set the highest standards in everything, but it is not serving anyone when we have such an expensive protracted system. That has to change.
