Proceeding contribution from Nick Raynsford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on National Planning Policy Framework.


National Planning Policy Framework

I strongly agree with what my right hon. Friend is saying. Does he agree with me that it is necessary not only to have a proper and full definition of sustainable development, but to establish a link between it and the operational principles that govern the handling of planning applications? That point was made very well by the Town and Country Planning Association in its submission. The absence of operational principles allowing implementation of the overall definition is one of the greatest weaknesses of the current NPPF draft.
