The first 100 days of the NPPF Breakfast Seminar

As the new NPPF approaches its first 100 days, a significant body of appeal evidence is emerging, offering an early indication of how inspectors are interpreting and applying the revised policies. Our session starts with a keynote speech by Graham Stallwood, Chief Executive of PINS, reflecting on recent changes and the work of the Planning Inspectorate.

The session will then continue with a mix of data-driven analysis with a more qualitative debate on how the new NPPF is changing the rules of planning decisions for strategic land. After introducing the data analysis, we’ll turn to our panel for a wide-ranging debate on the impact and how the changes are playing out on the ground. Topics will include the most critical policies for the success of strategic sites in the planning system.

Our planning and legal speakers will also consider the practical implications for developers and land promoters and how the new Framework presents a set of challenges and opportunities for site identification and application strategy.
