National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) Update
On 12 December 2024, the Government published a revised National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework 2024). The Framework 2024, amongst other things, was accompanied by a written ministerial statement (WMS) and updates to Planning Practice Guidance (PPG).
Information regarding the Framework 2024, and updates to PPG, can be found on GOV.UK: National Planning Policy Framework - GOV.UK.
The WMS can be found on the UK Parliament website: Written statements - Written questions, answers and statements - UK Parliament.
The Framework 2024, WMS and the PPG are material considerations which should be taken into account from the day of publication.
