What's New?

  • The National Planning Policy Framework was published on 27 March 2012, replacing all the previous Planning Policy Statements, including PPS 5, as well as various other planning guidance. Its central theme is the ‘presumption in favour of sustainable development’, set out in twelve core land-use planning principles which underpin both plan-making and decision-taking.
  • These events are aimed at local authority staff (such as archaeological and conservation officers), elected members of local authorities and parish councils, member organisations of Community Safety Partnerships, community groups and voluntary organisations working within the heritage sector and wanting to learn more about the Heritage Crime Programme and Alliance to Reduce Crime against Heritage.
  • Free half day sessions will provide an opportunity to discuss English Heritage's interpretation of the NPPF in order to promote understanding of NPPF, its implications for the management of heritage assets, and its use in plan and decision-making. The session will explore the language and terminology used in NPPF and how this differs from the PPS5.
