Hi all
Just to advise that NPPF has recently been subject to scrutiny by a Commons Select Committee. For latest news see:
This is probably why it is earmarked for archiving.
There are many lobby groups, the Campaign for Rural England and The National Trust amongst them who have been pressing for ‘brownfield first’ principles to be firmly embedded
into national and local planning policies.
Time will tell whether they have been successful and/or what (if any) impact there will be on contaminated land regulation. In the meantime, my advice is to keep calm, take
part in consultations and carry on.
Kind regards

As far as I’ve gathered, that would be the case.

Subject: Defra Reforming Development - consultation inc con land guidance documents
Hi All,
The time is ticking away to respond to the Defra consultation on reforming development guidance
http://guidanceanddata.defra.gov.uk/reforming-development-guidance/ and comments have to be in by 12 December.
The list of existing documents is on the website at
http://guidanceanddata.defra.gov.uk/development/list-of-existing-guidance/.
I know I’m not the only one who is confused about this whole process which seems to be another round of unnecessary over-simplification.
I’ve started looking through the very long list of documents and note that even the NPPF is in red and therefore flagged to go to the Archive. CLEA, SGVs and even CLR11 Model Procedures are flagged in Amber
which indicates that they need to be rewritten. However, if there is no budget for updating documents will they just go into the Archive? And if that is what happens, how would this affect their status?
If the guidance is still considered fit for purpose by local authority CLOS and as good practice by the industry will the status affect how they can be used?
Best regards,
Ann
