The UK Government is currently consulting on proposals to change aspects of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). The NPPF is used by local councils to guide them on making decisions on planning applications. If you would like to submit your comments, there are a variety of ways listed at the bottom of the GOV.UK webpage – https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/national-planning-policy-framework-proposed-reforms-and-other-changes-to-the-planning-system
The consultation opened at the end of last year and closes on 10th March 2026.
