Planning Policy Guidance

Planning Policy Guidance (PPG) refers to official advice issued by government authorities to help local planning authorities and developers make consistent and effective decisions about land use and development. It provides clear principles, standards, and considerations to ensure developments meet community needs, environmental protection, and sustainable growth. PPGs serve as a framework for interpreting national policies, guiding decisions on issues like housing, transportation, and conservation, ensuring that planning processes are transparent, balanced, and aligned with broader societal objectives.
