Housing and planning minister Alex Norris said communities "need to share the benefits" of the government's tilt towards clean energy.

He said residents near newly installed pylons will be compensated with 250 off their energy bills.

Mr Norris said interjections of official bodies in planning decisions were causing a "bottleneck" in granting applications.

Labour promised to build 1.5 million new homes over the next five years to tackle the lack of affordable housing.
