CPA urges all campaigners to respond to Government's NPPF consultation
|
Government has proposed a host of changes to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). A lot of their proposals are positive ones, but many - particularly those that will affect the environment - do not go far enough.
The development industry is highly concerned about the changes, meaning they will be responding in droves. It is therefore imperative that as many campaigners as possible - both individuals and groups - submit a response to the public consultation, before the March 2nd deadline!

CPA Webinar: The NPPF Consultation - what do you need to know?
|
Our first webinar of 2023, held on February 7th, was designed to help us consider the proposed changes to the NPPF, as outlined in the Government consultation running until March 2nd.
Our four excellent speakers were:
- Rosie Pearson, CPA Chair, who introduced the consultation and then focused on the good, the bad and the missing
- Gareth Capner, Planning Consultant, who highlighted some key points about the 'Standard Method'
- Caroline Dibden, CPA Committee Secretary, who covered what the development sector and others are saying about the proposed changes
- Catriona Riddell, Planning Consultant, who focused on the removal of the 'Duty to Cooperate' and why strategic planning is good for communities.
For those wishing to submite a response to this consultation, NPPF tracked changes can be found here, and Government's description of changes can be found here.
