National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)

The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) is a key document in England that guides how land is used and developed. It sets out the government's policies for planning, aiming to ensure sustainable development that balances economic growth, environmental protection, and community needs. The framework helps local councils make decisions about housing, infrastructure, and green spaces, while encouraging collaboration with local communities. Ultimately, the NPPF seeks to create better places for people to live and work, promoting a cohesive approach to development across the country.
