This includes conducting Environmental Impact Assessments, flood risk assessments and land contamination studies.<\/p>\n<h3>Environmental Factors<\/h3>\n<p>Environmental considerations also include a focus on determining air quality when deciding development proposals, plus greater emphasis on river catchment areas and basin management plans from a flood risk management perspective.\u00a0\u00a0 New to the NPPF is confirmation that \u201cmajor developments should only be allowed in areas of flood risk where it can be demonstrated that it incorporates sustainable drainage systems, unless there is clear evidence that it is inappropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Land Contamination<\/h3>\n<p>Likewise, for Land Contamination, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/special-reports\/national-planning-policy-framework-2\/44138\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NPPF<\/a> states that the responsibility for securing a safe development rests with the developer and\/or landowner (para 179).\u00a0 A report prepared by a competent person, which includes appropriate and up to date data will therefore be required by a planning authority to assess the suitability of the development (para 178).<\/p>\n<p>Jason Goodwin, Group Sales and Marketing Director, Landmark Information Group said: \u201cWhen the National Planning Policy Framework was first published in 2012, the focus was on the \u2018presumption towards sustainable development\u2019, but the detail was lacking.\u00a0 Now, the latest revision provides greater clarity to planners, developers and other property professionals on what is required of them.\u00a0 We are here to support our clients across the board in deciphering the detail of the NPPF and how it relates to them and their clients.\u00a0 We will be releasing a series of advice blogs and updates on our Landmark Academy training portal over the coming weeks to explain the detail behind the policy framework. We are also on hand to offer guidance regarding the range of environmental risk assessments that will support all planning application submissions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The policies are effective immediately, therefore developers who have current applications should be aware of these changes, and consider the alteration of their applications in order to be consistent with the new policies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.landmark.co.uk\/\">www.landmark.co.uk<\/a>, telephone 0844 844 9966 or follow the team on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LandmarkUK\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following Revisions to the National Planning Policy Framework, Landmark offer their views and expert option on the updated document<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[279,956,172717,849],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172377],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-44384","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-environment","8":"tag-land-contamination","9":"tag-planning-construction-insight","10":"tag-sh-argyll-environmental","11":"stakeholder_rel_tag-argyll-environmental"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Landmark reacts to the National Planning Policy Framework<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Following Revisions to the National Planning Policy Framework, Landmark offer their views and expert option on the updated document.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/national-planning-policy-framework-3\/44384\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Landmark reacts to the National Planning Policy Framework\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Following Revisions to the National Planning Policy Framework, Landmark offer their views and expert option on the updated document.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/national-planning-policy-framework-3\/44384\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
