The NPPF gives you 12 months to get your Local Plan in order.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The NPPF purposefully allows considerable scope for the local application of its policy framework. This means that the local authority can respond directly to the particular needs of the local interests and priorities, as they are articulated in their Local Plan. It is essential that local groups get in touch immediately with their local conservation officer or service, or identify a sympathetic and informed planner, so that they can get the right help in developing their Local Plan to help secure what is wanted for their places.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">For research on the added values of Conservation Officers and Services see<\/span>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ihbc.org.uk\/recent_papers\/docs\/Local%20Delivery%20Report%20by%20Atkins%202006.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">To understand why local authorities need Conservation Officers<\/span>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ihbc.org.uk\/skills\/final.html\" target=\"_blank\">LINK\u00a0 <\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Find the download link for the NPPF here<\/span>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.communities.gov.uk\/publications\/planningandbuilding\/nppf\" target=\"_blank\">LINK<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone who cares about their local places must get to grips with their local plan, as the new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) offers only a short window of 12 months to get the plan fit for purpose under the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?p=4004\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4004"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4004\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4005,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4004\/revisions\/4005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
