*Publication title: *Consultation on Planning Policy Statement 25:
Development and Flood Risk
*Audience: *Local planning authorities, regional planning bodies,
planning practioners and developers
*Consultation period:* 5 December 2005 to 28 February 2006
this consultation seeks views on the draft of Planning Policy Statement
(PPS) 25: Development and Flood Risk and associated with this, a new
Flooding Direction and changes to the GDPO to make the Environment
Agency a statutory consultee for certain types of development at flood
risk. The intention is that PPS25, together with an accompanying
Practice Guide, should replace Planning Policy Guidance Note 25 (PPG25):
Development and Flood Risk published in July 2001. The aim of the
revision is to focus on national planning policy and to provide clarity
on what is required at regional and local levels to ensure that
decisions are made at the most appropriate level and in a timely fashion
to deliver sustainable planning for development and flood risk.

*Publication title:* Consultation Paper on New Planning Policy Statement
3 (PPS3): Housing
*Audience: *Local planning authorities, regional planning bodies, house
building industry, developers
*Consultation period:* 5 December 2005 to 27 February 2006
*Product code:* 05 PD 03522
The new PPS3 will set out the national planning policies for housing,
which regional planning bodies and local authorities should take into
account in developing regional spatial strategies and local development
frameworks. Its objective will be to deliver new homes at the right time
in the right place. The national policy framework will reflect the need
for flexibility in planning between urban and rural areas, and in areas
experiencing high or low demand. The aim is that the planning system is
used to its maximum effect to ensure the delivery of decent homes that
are well designed, make the best use of land, are energy efficient, make
the most of new building technologies and help to deliver sustainable
development.
