TCPA writes to MHCLG over NPPF concerns

The TCPA and Flood Re have written to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government regarding our concerns that the current review of the National Planning Policy Framework is a missed opportunity to reset the UK’s approach to planning for the climate crisis.

A copy of the letter, including the full list of our requests of government, can be downloaded here.
