Eco-Town (Harborough)

It would seem from what the Minister is saying that the eco-towns project is a way of developing a lot of homes fast by simply bringing the word ““eco”” to the fore. Will he guarantee that no fast-track planning system will be used and that everything will be submitted to the usual planning application system after being referred to the usual planning authority? Or is it his intention to invoke some of the schemes for new towns that have lain dormant since the 1960s, or to incorporate old powers into new legislation so as to accelerate developments of the type that he has described?
