National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)
The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out the Government’s planning policies for England and how these should be applied. Review the associated Technical Guidance to understand how flood risk policy translates into planning requirements. The full NPPF is published on GOV.UK national planning policy framework.
Case Example
The NPPF is the “legal rulebook” we follow to justify why a development is safe. If your FRA follows NPPF guidelines, the council has a much harder time refusing permission.
Ensure compliance. Rida Reports aligns your Flood Risk Assessment with NPPF policy.
