The Environment Agency is working with DCLG and DEFRA on planning guidance to support the NPPF, but meanwhile even Government concerns about climate change and developing in flood risk or water shortage areas has still to stimulate any return to regional spatial planning.

Local authorities will not be required to redetermine the status of existing determined sites.

The RTPI has written to the minister on behalf of a group of bodies seeking revised NPPF wording on the spatial aspects of planning for previously developed land.
