PM vows to curb ' Nimby ' legal blocks on infrastructure projects like nuclear plants, train lines and wind farms.

Currently, infrastructure schemes can be challenged in the courts up to three times - ministers intend to reduce that to once in most cases.

Existing rules open up projects approved by elected officials to years of delays.
