Labor is planning to shake up the planning rules by consulting whether they should limit the number of quangos that has been blamed for postponing developments.
Ministers will evaluate whether they should remove official authorities such as Sport England, De Theaters Trust and the Garden History Society from the list of those who are legally obliged to be consulted on decisions.
Labor, however, has come fire to run a 'government through a talking store' after it has launched at least 67 reviews, consultation and task forces in the first few months of taking power.
Planning reforms require that councils only consult Quangos when it is necessary to do this, and decisions may not be postponed after the standard 21-day deadline.
The scope of other official authorities will be limited to concentrate on heritage, safety and environmental protection, ministers have said.
Sam Richards, the Chief Executive of Pro-Gowth Campaign Group Britain Remade,, however, pointed to the 'irony' of deciding to remove consultations by launching another consultation.
“The government is absolutely right to reduce the number of legal consulti and to concentrate the scope of their work again,” he said.
“Too many had become policy campaigners within the government machine – in the process that the building delayed that we desperately need.”

Angela Rayner, the Deputy Prime Minister, said that reforms in the planning system would prevent 'unintended delays' for projects.
She mentioned a case in which 140 flats were blocked in addition to a cricket club because Sport England said that the speed of flying cricket balls had not been properly considered.
Housing and Planning Alex Norris said that the more than two dozen organizations that need to be consulted on planning applications 'offer a bit of a bottleneck'.
He also said that they often did not respond within deadlines, but would not comment on whether they would be fined.
Housing Matthew PennyCook told The Daily Mail: “We have removed a number of legal consultants that we do not think will really contribute to the results that we want to manage in the system.”
He said that although they were an “important part of the planning process,” the system “did not work effectively at the moment.”

He added that he would look at 'possibly remove more small legal consultis from the system'.
It came after the government announced that people who live near new pylons receive hundreds of pounds of their annual energy bills under plans to stimulate support for building infrastructure.
Ministers will introduce the bill for planning and infrastructure in parliament on Tuesday as part of the agenda to build Great Britain.
It will also announce plans to limit the amount of money given to landowners whose property is purchased by compulsory purchase orders, which can endanger farmers.
