Agenda item

The Head of Policy & Communities introduced the report which outlined the key changes that the Government had made to the revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) 2018 from the former NPPF (2012) . The comments submitted by National Parks England on behalf of the Authority were taken into consideration, and that the majority of changes that were asked for were included within the revised NPPF.

The Director of Conservation & Planning informed Members that the NPPF formed part of the compulsory Planning Training which was for all Members, not just for those on Planning Committee. The final rescheduled session was due to be held on the 26 October, and Members should let him know as soon as possible if they could not attend so an alternative session could be arranged

Members welcomed the report

RESOLVED:-

That the report be noted
