Council committees to be bypassed in bid to build more homes under new plans.

Ministers will be able to rubber-stamp proposals that comply with existing council strategies.

Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said the planning process was acting like a "drag anchor" on aims to deliver more housing.

House builders broadly welcomed streamlining, but councils said a better way would be to give them more resources.
