NT welcomes planning framework report
A new report from the Communities and Local Government (CLG) select committee urging "significant changes" to planning reforms has been welcomed by the National Trust (NT).
The committee of MPs has called for the removal of a default 'yes' to development from the new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), following a review of the document.
Earlier this year, the NT had raised concerns that the planning strategy had placed short-term economic gain ahead of other considerations, including the protection of the countryside.
NT director-general Fiona Reynolds said: "The select committee has identified the clear changes that need to be made to the draft NPPF so that it delivers a planning system that balances social and environmental needs with those of the economy.
"We are delighted to see that many of the improvements we suggested are reflected in the CLG committee's report."
