I for one look forward to this change as I believe not much will actually happen i.e I don't believe the doomsday scenario as presented.

The planning system currently does not allow through innovative schemes easily but seems incapable to stop poorly designed large scale developments.

So we will still get the dross under the new scheme but maybe we might also get the odd nice innovative building through without the heart troubles associated with most planning decisions.

The public system of planning did have a fair and balanced approach and could work but this is now unclear and I have found individual decisions have varied too and fro in the current confusion so something needs to change.
