Special court for planning disputes

Chris Grayling, the Justice Secretary, has announced that disputes over big construction projects, from shopping centres to schools, will be fast-tracked through a new planning court under plans to curb costly legal challenges. An estimated 400 planning cases will go before specialist judges working to fixed time limits as part of a move by ministers to stop "meritless" challenges that clog up courts and delay or scupper building schemes.
