The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out government planning policy for England. It was published by the Department for Communities and Local Government in March 2012 replacing a wide range of previous planning policy statements and planning policy guidance.

In 2014, the House of Commons Communities and Local Government Committee commissioned research from the Cambridge Centre for Housing and

Planning Research into the nature of planning constraints. They then decided to establish how effectively the NPPF was operating, and whether any changes needed to be made. An inquiry was launched on 4 April 2014.

On 15 December 2014, the Committee published [http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201415/cmselect/cmcomloc/190/190.pdf Operation of the National Planning Policy Framework Fourth Report of Session 2014–15]. The report suggests that the simplification brought to the planning system by the NPPF is welcome, but that it is still early days, and the NPPF needs more time to ‘bed in’, proposing that it should be strengthened so that everyone can have greater confidence in it.

A number of weaknesses were identified, including:
*A failure to prevent unsustainable development in some places.
*Inappropriate housing being imposed upon some communities as a result of speculative planning applications.
*Town centres being given insufficient protection against out of town development.

A wide range of proposals were put forward to strengthen the NPPF, including:

*Ensuring the same weight is given to environmental and social issues as to economic issues and that permission is only given if developments are accompanied by the infrastructure necessary to support them.
*A statutory requirement for councils to get local plans adopted within three years of legislation being enacted.
*Measures to address the complex issue of land supply, such as; closing loopholes relating to the viability of housing land, giving clearer guidance about how housing need should be assessed, and encouraging local authorities to review their green belts as part of the local planning process.
*An end to permitted development allowing shops and buildings used for financial and professional services to become homes.
