Intro to planning stuff...(National level)

National Planning Policy Guidance Notes and Planning Policy Statements

National planning policies are set out in a series of Planning Policy Statements (PPSs) and Planning Policy Guidance (PPG) notes. These are prepared by Central Government after public consultation to explain statutory provisions and provide guidance to local authorities and others on planning policy and the operation of the planning system. They also explain the relationship between planning policies and other policies which have an important bearing on issues of development and land use.

Local authorities must take their contents into account in preparing plans. The guidance may also be relevant to decisions on individual planning applications and appeals.

The Government is currently working through a programme for replacing PPGs with a series of more streamlined PPSs. A number of PPGs have already been superseded.
