Course description
This webinar provides insights into recent Government changes to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), exploring their impact on housing, land supply, and planning decisions.
Notable shifts include advisory targets, exceptions requiring compelling reasons, and requirements for local planning authorities to demonstrate a five-year housing supply, and in some cases only needing to show four.
Key changes highlighted in the webinar include a 35% uplift for cities, increased urban density where suitable, and a stronger focus on clear planning conditions and design guidance within plans. The session also emphasizes the importance of considering both National Development Management Policies and local plans in decision-making processes.
