Oxford
7. What’s Law Got to Do With It? The Future of Landscape Led Planning Under the NPPF
Summary
Where previous speakers have focussed on the practical application of the NPPF, this session will look at the legal principles which underpin the new NPPF, and the ways in which they are likely to impact on the traditional role of the landscape architect. Using recent case law, it will highlight the ways in which different aspects of national policy such as the Green Belt, valued landscapes, the setting of heritage assets and concepts such as “Net Gain”, are now raising subtly different questions to conventional landscape impact assessment, providing new challenges and new opportunities for the both landscape-led planning and the assessment of projects.
At the end of this session, delegates will have a wider understanding of:- the way law interacts with policy to shape our understanding of the NPPF;
- key case law on what those parts of national policy which affect landscape-led planning ;
- the different approaches this may require to the planning and assessment of new development;
- some of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the profession.
