Deal reached that paves way for communities in England to authorise projects without unanimous support
Rishi Sunak has signalled the end of a moratorium on new onshore wind projects in a bid to head off a row with Tory MPs, his second U-turn in two days.
The prime minister and the business secretary, Grant Shapps, reached a deal on Tuesday afternoon that will pave the way for communities to be able to authorise such energy developments without unanimous support.
