It’s been an interesting week in planning and development with the publication of a draft NPPF following swiftly on the King's Speech announcing a future Planning and Infrastructure Bill. The new draft NPPF (National Planning Policy Framework) is a significant revision of the Conservative version of the same policy document, as Philip Allin of Boyer describes in this article. The implications for housebuilding, and ultimately the property industry more widely, will be considerable. As Phil says, a busy summer awaits! #Development #GreenBelt #GreyBelt #MHCLG #NPPF #Planning #StandardMethodology

Consultation Klaxon: Fail to Plan, Planning system to Fail 28th Feb saw some big and important planning consultations launched by the Scottish Government. Calling all planners and developers to arms: it's an opportunity not to be missed. Many discussions in the market focus on improved resourcing and the ability to implement proper and workable masterplans. Feedback from key stakeholders on these consultations will therefore be extremely important to ensure the planning system allows the full potential of our city regions in particular to be realised.

Not quite hot of the press, but for those that have missed it, Tunbridge Wells BC is moving forward with its Local Plan following Examination last year. Members at the Council's Planning and Transportation Cabinet endorsed Officers' suggested approach, and subject to Full Council approval on 13 December, consultation is anticipated to commence shortly afterwards on the proposed changes to the Plan's spatial strategy. As anticipated following receipt of the Inspector's letter last November, TWBC is proposing to remove Tudeley Village (2800 homes) from the Plan and reduce the scope of growth around Paddock Wood by around 1,000 homes. To do this, the plan period is being reduced from 15 to 10 years and an immediate Local Plan Review will be required post adoption of this Plan. Many of you know I have a vested interest in this Plan, and I'll be honest, whilst this is exactly what I expected the Council to do, and will hopefully ensure a Local Plan is adopted sooner rather than later, seeing it in black and white still stings. For two and a half years I led the Strategic Sites team at TWBC which sought to demonstrate that Tudeley Village and the significant growth around Paddock Wood were deliverable realities. Yes we went big, and we always knew it wouldn't be easy, but it really did feel like a strong plan, even though we knew strategic sites , and Local Plan making, is never straight forward, and schemes are rightly scrutinised. Good luck to my former colleagues in taking this revised Plan forward to hopeful adoption soon. So much work must have taken place over the past 12 months, and to lift yourselves up and carry on after significant blow can't be easy. And dare I say it, I hope the vision for this part of the world hasn't fallen away completely - I still think it would be great. https://lnkd.in/eW4Z_dkp

I gave an interview to The Mail earlier. Not because I'm a fan, but (aside from a bit of self-promotion) it's important to take opportunities to improve the public understanding of the planning system. In this case, I was speaking about the Green Belt / Grey Belt. The article published in The Times yesterday, attacking the planning industry, particularly public sector town planners, was abhorrent. Lindsey Richards FRTPI has rightly rebuked the claims made in the article on behalf of the Royal Town Planning Institute. The new chancellor has correctly identified the planning industry as a catalyst for economic growth. To achieve that, we need resources and recognition. We also need a sensible discussion about the Green Belt! #Planning #GreenBelt

In today's world, planning is a very labour-intensive and error-ridden task. Even state administrations have started to abandon planning. Only the target is set. Planning and budgeting in construction is only resisting against time. #Sarenolia * #Colonialism #ConstructionPolicies #GlobalConstructionPolicies #Planning #Budgeting #GoalSetting #ProjectManagement

NEW National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) has been published! It includes subtle changes which Urban Future Planning Consultancy will assess and provide to our clients. Some of those changes include emphasis upon 'weight' to be attributed to certain circumstances and developments together with different requirements for Local Authorities. It is encouraging to see that the Government is still confident about our plan led system’s ability to deliver. Local plans are an essential tool to ensure that new homes are delivered alongside infrastructure and other benefits and to deliver the quality design, environment and place-making and other benefits. More to come! Naz Shah, MRTPI [email protected]
