NPPF 2026: The Greenprint for Growth?

14 Oct 2026
Placemaking Theatre
The revised NPPF puts nature, design and green infrastructure higher on the planning agenda – but does it go far enough? With a presumption in favour of development in sustainable locations and weaker protection for some valued landscapes, this session will explore what the changes mean for the landscape sector. From nature recovery, biodiversity net gain and SuDS to growth around transport hubs and the future of protected landscapes, where does the balance lie between building more and protecting what matters?
