The NPPF requires Councils to plan positively to seek opportunities to meet the development needs of the area and as a minimum to provide for objectively assessed needs for housing.

The NPPF sets out clearly at paragraph 22 that “Strategic policies should look ahead over a minimum 15 year period...” A vision to 2040 would therefore require the plan to be adopted by 2025 to comply with the minimum 15 year period, which may be tight despite the published timetable in the October 2022 LDS that envisaged adoption by Autumn 2023.
