Planning Briefing Note: NPPF Tweaks Become Wholesale Rewrite
The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government has now launched its consultation on the next major set of proposed planning reforms for England with a ‘rewrite’ of the National Planning Policy Framework (‘the NPPF’).

It is designed as a concise update for anyone involved in planning and development who needs to stay informed as policy continues to evolve.
