Report of the Director of the Built Environment.

The Committee received a report of the Director of the Built Environment concerning the City of London’s response to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.

Members welcomed the report and the work undertaken by officers, but commented that a greater steer from London Councils was needed in relation to the national drive for affordable housing.

RESOLVED – To agree the comments set out in paragraphs 4 to 20 of this report, and the detailed comments in Appendix 1, as the City Corporation’s response to the Government’s consultation on the draft National Planning Policy Framework.
