Planning analysis: The government has published a revised version of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). Key changes from the previous version, published in December 2023, impact green belt policy and policy on establishing housing need and housing land supply.

A consultation response, published on the same day, sets out the government’s commitments to wider changes to the planning system, including changes to the regime under the Planning Act 2008 (PA 2008) for nationally significant infrastructure projects (NSIPs), and changes to planning fees.
