The Planning Minister, Greg Clark has published the draft National Planning Policy Framework for consultation. Key objectives of the reforms are to make the planning system less complex and more accessible, and to promote sustainable growth. As well as discussing sustainable growth the consultation document addresses its brief under three headings: Planning for Prosperity, covering business and economic development, transport and communications; Planning for People, covering housing and Green Belt issues and Planning for Places addressing climate change and the natural environment.
The consultation is open until 17th October 2011 and the government is holding a series of public planning reform events during September in London, Leeds, Birmingham and Bristol.
