The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) came into effect at 12.30pm on 27 March 2012 for local authorities with no up to date plan. Local authorities with a post-2004 local plan that is broadly in line with the NPPF will be able to use those policies for 12 months. The final version of the NPPF includes:
The definition of sustainable development: this has been strengthened to include the Bruntland definition.
Brownfield first policy: this has been strengthened to prioritise more clearly the use of previously developed land.
Five-year land supply: local authorities with a good track record at allocating land for housing must earmark a five-year supply plus 5%. Others must earmark a five-year supply plus 20%.
The intrinsic value of countryside: this has been included in the NPPF following its removal from the first draft.
Town centre first policy: this has been strengthened and office development re-included, with an exemption for rural businesses.
