Planning Policy Statements

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the United Kingdom, Planning Policy Statements (PPS) are statements of the British Government's national policy and principles towards certain aspects of the town planning framework. They apply to England only. They are legally binding and may be treated as material considerations in the determination of planning applications.

They were introduced under the provisions of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, and are gradually replacing the old style Planning Policy Guidance Notes (PPG).

PPS which have been introduced so far are:

• Planning Policy Statement 1: Delivering Sustainable Development PPS1
• Planning Policy Statement 3: Housing PPS3
• Planning Policy Statement 6: Planning for Town Centres PPS6
• Planning Policy Statement 7: Sustainable Development in Rural Areas PPS7
• Planning Policy Statement 9: Biodiversity and Geological Conservation PPS9
• Planning Policy Statement 10: Planning for Sustainable Waste Management PPS10
• Planning Policy Statement 11: Regional Spatial Strategies PPS11
• Planning Policy Statement 12: Local Development Frameworks PPS12
