Following the publication of the National Planning Policy Framework, the Programme Officer has written to all respondents to ask whether the Core Strategy reflects the presumption in favour of sustainable development in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and, if not, whether the inclusion of the 'model policy' included on the Planning Portal would be an appropriate way of securing consistency with national policy?
The model policy can be viewed at here
