The new National Planning Policy Framework and National Planning Policy Guidance: An illustration of case law influencing government policy
Abstract
This paper reflects on the new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)1 which was published on 24 July 2018. The paper highlights issues which those interested in developing land need to be aware of and how it has, in many respects, been influenced by recent case law. This represents the largest overhaul of national planning policy since the introduction of the current NPPF in 2012.
