Episode 131 of the podcast is available now via this link or from Apple and Spotify . If you have listened to episodes 125 and 128 you will know that I sought to cover, pre-publication, what could and should be in the new version of NPPF. With the consultation deadline now starting to loom large, this episode seeks to cover what is actually in it. I was in London last week and caught up with friends of the podcast Andrew Taylor , Hashi Mohamed , Vicky Payne and Simon Ricketts at Soho Radio Studios. As you will hear we crammed as much as possible into the hour-long studio booking. We talked about the proposed new stock-based standard method and transitional arrangements for local plans, we talked about Grey Belt, 50% affordable housing and benchmark land values; and we touched on beauty, design codes, vision-led transport planning, the flood risk sequential test, neighbourhood plans, safeguarded land, and application fees.
