NALC urges the government to reevaluate its proposal for local planning authorities
In response to the recent government consultation on local plans, NALC argued that this requirement needs to be revised and impose unmanageable pressures on LPAs, local (parish and town) councils, and neighbourhood planning groups whose plans are closely aligned with the local ones.
Furthermore, NALC has advocated for a shift in focus, suggesting that the primary emphasis should be placed on the quality and overall validity of the plans rather than solely on the speed at which they can be developed.
