Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill: Reforms to National Planning Policy

On 22^nd December 2022, the UK Government published its prospectus for revising the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) for consultation. The consultation seeks views on the government’s proposed approach to the NPPF, and opinion on its proposed approach to preparing National Development Management Policies (NDMPs).

The consultation runs to 11:45pm on 2^nd March 2023. It seeks views on the government’s proposed approaches to updating the NPPF and to preparing NDMPs, how policies to support levelling up might be developed and how national policy is currently accessed by users. The scope of the proposed planning reforms relates to England only.

LLG is currently preparing to respond to the consultation. If you are interested in joining a working group to discuss the consultation, please email Helen McGrath, LLG’s Head of Public Affairs at helen@llg.org.uk at your earliest convenience.
