The Labour Government has made a strong commitment to simplify planning, cut red tape and deliver growth.
The new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out the intent to ‘speed up and streamline’ through a planning system which is an ‘enabler of growth’.
But will it?
This session will review:
- The Government’s proposed reform of the Planning system
- The new NPPF24 including:
- Support for commercial development
- The ‘Presumption in Favour of Sustainable Development’
- Approach to Green Belt and ‘Grey Belt’
- High Street Auctions
- Suggested further ‘permitted development’ opportunities
Ian Anderson, Senior Director, Lichfields
