Delays caused by the planning decision-making process in Britain came
under fire today by leading architect Lord Rogers of Riverside.
Richard Rogers, considered one of the foremost living architects, was
knighted in 1991 and made a life peer in 1996.

watered down through negotiation with countless agencies and every
proposal bogged down in endless processes."
