This study sets out to map the policies and programmes of  Government Departments,  their agencies  and non-departmental public bodies that have an explicit spatial

expression to inform the discussion of spatial planning issues  and priorities. This study has four key components: To appraise government policies and programmes (including government departments and their agencies and NDPBs) with an explicit spatial expression and/or spatial consequences. To perform thematic mapping, based on the economic, social and environmental priorities set out in NPPF, of government policies and programmes that have an explicit spatial expression and/or consequences. To identify patterns of spatial synergies and conflicts arising from existing government policies and programmes and to present these spatial synergies and conflicts into ‘diagrammatic mapping’. To highlight key issues and further research work required to fully address the need of providing a spatial framework to support the development of NPPF and the delivery of the Localism Act. A compendium of policies in map form is also available here.
