Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves will unveil the party’s plans at the Labour conference in Liverpool today.

Proposals are expected to include updating all national policy statements and detailing what types of projects the country needs within the first six months of Labour entering office.

Planning applications would be fast-tracked for projects like battery factories, laboratories and 5G infrastructure.

Around 300 new planning officers will help speed-up the system while time-consuming legal challenges will be avoided by setting clearer national guidance for developers on consulting local communities.

Reeves will also unveil plans for anti-corruption commissioner to recoup billions of pounds lost to fraud and waste during the Covid pandemic.
