planning series
National Planning Policy Guidelines ( NPPGs) provide statements of Government policy on nationally important land use issues and other planning matters, supported where appropriate by a locational framework.
Circulars, which also provide statements of Government policy, contain guidance on policy implementation through legislative or procedural change.
Planning Advice Notes ( PANs) provide advice on good practice and other relevant information.
Statements of Government policy contained in NPPGs and Circulars may, so as far as relevant, be material considerations to be taken into account in development control.
