The National Planning Forum
The National Planning Forum (NPF) is the principal cross-sectoral voice on planning issues and aims to be recognised as a key agent for change in delivering a better planning service.
The NPF aspires to “inspire planning” and all those involved in the planning process and in delivering the new planning agenda. It aims to help achieve quality, inspiring places that enhance productivity as well as peoples’ well-being.
The Forum seeks to:
M1 critically inform and positively influence the planning agenda for England through a broad spectrum of interests;
M2 act as a bridge and extend the common ground across the Forum membership, the better to deliver sustainable development; and
M3 promote the acquisition and exchange of knowledge and best practice amongst Forum membership and disseminate this so that it may be widely applied.
In support of this Mission, the Forum:
- represents multi-sectoral views, aiming to reach consensus wherever possible, and
informed differences of opinion where not
- acts as a sounding board on planning policy and practice
- promotes good practice across the sectors
- facilitates cross-sectoral networking.
We concentrate on areas in which all sectors have a common interest, aim to be constructive in all that we do, and avoid duplication of effort.
