Abstract
The revision of the national planning policy framework (NPPF) for England demonstrates the great flexibility given to the government to make national policy. The NPPF retains a presumption in favour of what they define as sustainable development, and the surrounding publicity has been right to focus on their intention to increase the delivery of housing. Whilst the framework gives some support for a greater level of environmental protection, we are still a long way off from an integrated planning and environmental system. This analysis looks at how a different approach could have been taken, with reference to the Law Commission's review of Planning Law in Wales, the TCPA's Raynsford Review and the draft Environmental Bill 2018. It also examines how the NPPF policies on housing delivery often override the supposedly plan-led system, and what protection the NPPF does offer for the environment.
