This report presents the results of a study carried out by Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners which reviewed all the Local Plans (outside London) that have been formally submitted or examined since March 2012, recording the outcome of the examination and benchmarking its housing target (both that originally proposed and that found sound, if different). The study concludes that localism is not leading to cuts in housing targets in Local Plans, but this is because the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) are being applied by Inspectors.
