Webinar: Proposed changes to the NPPF

Rarely has planning made headline news to the same degree as it did this summer, with the new government releasing details of a suite of proposed planning changes which could impact the rural sector in many ways.

The most notable change is the recent release of a consultation on an updated NPPF. The consultation closes on Wednesday 25th September 2024.

To help you stay informed, Rural Solutions is hosting a webinar where the team will be discussing proposed changes and how these will impact you.
