Series two: What will it take for the NPPF to deliver?

‍‍

Download Searchland’s UK planning whitepaper - the second in a three part series exploring why the planning system still falls short, and what it will take to fix it.

We invited ten senior planning professionals from the UK’s biggest firms to examine the revised NPPF reforms - cutting through the policy intent to ask why delivery at local level still feels so uncertain.

‍

Expect to uncover: 

‍

• Why being plan-led doesn't always mean plans decide outcomes
• How capacity - not conflict - is often the real cause of planning delays
• Why permission isn't the finish line: the hidden delays after resolution to grant
• What the NPPF's focus on transit - oriented development means in practice
• How better use of planning data could make the system more predictable
