  • Ministers will consider how consents might be streamlined and simplified to make the process simpler and reduce the red tape on businesses; and
  • BIS and CLG will work with other Government departments to drive forward these changes, and will provide an update on implementation in the Spring.

It will also make sure that those responsible for these consents are sharing best practice.
