Amidst the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) doom and gloom I bring you good news – everyone loves planners. The British Property Federation (BPF) hosted an event this morning on the NPPF which featured speakers including planning minister Greg Clark, National Trust chief Dame Fiona Reynolds, the Campaign to Protect Rural England’s Shaun Spiers and the BPF’s own Liz Peace. It was a veritable who’s who of the NPPF debate. If an asteroid had struck the building, the Daily Telegraph’s ‘Hand’s off Our Land’ campaign would have been sunk. It simply doesn’t bear thinking about.
