Ep113: What the draft NPPF changes would mean for affordable housing and brownfield land development

In this Deep Dive edition, we’ll be examining two big proposed changes in the draft National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF):

• What revisions to national policy on affordable housing would mean for planners, and how effective they would be in boosting the delivery of homes for social rent; 
• The implications of the government’s intention to make urban brownfield developments ‘acceptable in principle’, and other related NPPF tweaks around brownfield land.

We also round up the other key news from the past week to make sure you’re up to speed on all the goings-on in the planning sector.
