Promising 1.5 million new homes by 2029, the new Labour government has made increased house building a central part of its growth agenda. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) is key to securing that. If you really want to understand English planning policy and whether it's likely to achieve a better supply of homes, economic growth, less ugly, more functional and higher quality places, better health and well-being, and more biodiversity, this Handbook will be invaluable. In clear language, it examines the meaning of the NPPF in a comprehensive and systematic way by reference to case law and appeal decisions. The Handbook provides practical guidance on whether a policy paragraph has changed in substance or just its numbering. Users will be able to assess whether previous authorities are still relevant. Expertly co-edited by Gregory Jones KC and Simon Neate MRTPI, the book provides a unique commentary from a blended team of experienced specialist planning barristers from the leading planning chambers of Francis Taylor Building, and planning, transport and economics consultants from the international professional services firm WSP. This definitive, single volume guide to the NPPF will be essential reading for legal practitioners and professionals working in the field of planning.
