@bcualisterscott @AndrewLainton @cowanrob @Satchers To be clear @hilarybennmp didn’t say that Lab would scrap #nppf . We’re looking at…@bcualisterscott @AndrewLainton @cowanrob removing the designation of failing LPAs, brownfield 1st and recent changes to use classes

Labour would not scrap #NPPF. We want to stop anti-localist rules that strip planning powers from local people where SoS deems fit
