Update on amendment voted through by House of Lords on national planning policy

In September 2023 we reported that the House of Lords had voted through an amendment that ensured both the public and parliament have a say on any new national planning policy created by the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill (LURB). This new type of national planning policy – National Development Management Policies (NDMPs) – has caused major concerns since its introduction.

We can now report an update following a further vote in the House of Lords on 23^rd October – to read more go to https://www.cpre.org.uk/news/news-from-the-ndmp-vote-public-consultation-but-no-parliamentary-scrutiny/
