National Planning Policy Framework

摘要

Architects have welcomed the 'proactive' design policy set out in the draft National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), which was published last week. Heralded by Home Builders Federation chairman Stewart Baseley as the 'most important planning document since the Town and Country Planning Act of 1947', the paper, drafted by an independent advisory group of experts, outlines a simplified planning strategy, which will inform future plans at both city and neighbourhood level.
