12/03/25 - Planning and Infrastructure Bill and an agricultural drone contractor
As the government publishes its proposals for green energy infrastructure and 1.5 million new homes - what will it mean for rural communities?
The Government's new Planning and Infrastructure Bill promises to bring about the 'biggest building boom' in a generation, delivering 1.5 million new homes, and developing green energy infrastructure across the countryside. The aim is to speed up planning decisions, but some landowners are worried the changes could mean a slew of compulsory purchase orders by public bodies - something that's being made easier in the bill.
And we go out with an agricultural drone contractor, who is licensed and approved to fly a drone for spreading, spraying and seeding on farms.
