Draft revised national planning policy framework

The government has published its long-awaited draft revision of the national planning policy framework (NPPF). This consolidates a series of proposals that have been made in the last two and half years, and which have been included in various consultation documents.

The launch of the draft revised NPPF, which has the potential to affect a range of local development proposals, was accompanied by the release of a number of supporting documents, government responses, and further consultations which are due to close on 10 May 2018.
