The Law Society has published its response to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities’ (DLUHC) consultation on changes to the National Planning Policy Framework and preparing National Development Management Policies. 

Lexis®Library update: The Law Society considers the likelihood of the proposals in reaching the ambitions set out in the consultation paper, with a particular focus on proposals relating to—the predictability of outcomes within the planning process, the past behaviour of applicants as an inappropriate form of evidence, the requirement for justified evidence and fewer homes being delivered contrary to the stated policy objective to deliver 300,000 houses a year.

The full response can be read here.
