New planners, introduced through government-backed schemes, are expected to accelerate decisions on loft conversions and small business upgrades, according to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.

An additional commitment made was to enlist 1,400 new planning personnel before the current parliamentary term concludes.
