MPs Call On Cameron to Revise Planning Reforms

MPs have urged the prime minister to revise ‘contradictory and confusing’ planning reforms, or face legal challenges to development decisions. A letter to David Cameron from the Environmental Audit Committee expresses concern that the draft National Planning Policy Framework contains a presumption in favour of sustainable development which isn’t properly defined. The measures have faced criticism since they were published in July from environmental groups which claim the changes will lead to development on the greenbelt.
