Streeting outlines plans to scrap planning rules and net‑zero policies if elected PM

Streeting has presented a policy agenda that includes overturning current planning regulations. He also proposes abandoning the government's net‑zero emissions targets. The proposals would be enacted if he secures the position of prime minister. Critics argue that removing planning rules could accelerate unregulated development. Supporters claim the changes would reduce bureaucratic constraints on growth. Dismantling net‑zero policies is presented as a way to lower energy costs. The plan has sparked debate over environmental and housing priorities. Observers will watch the political response as the election approaches.
