New Housing LIN guest blog explores the impact of the revised NPPF on housing delivery

Mark Slater

In this new Housing LIN guest blog, Mark Slater, Design Director at WWA (West Waddy Archadia), discusses the revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), focusing on its impact on housing delivery.

While there are positive aspects, such as the definition of typologies for older persons' housing and welcomed proposals to the day-to-day planning application process, Mark shares how overall the revised NPPF seems like a step back for housing delivery with a disappointing approach to wider strategic planning and lack of bold leadership to deliver the housing that's needed.
