WRc appointed to CLG Planning Framework as part of consortium
 The Planning Directorate (PD) in Communities and Local Government (CLG) has appointed WRc, together with CIRIA & Royal Haskoning to support them under a 2-year Framework Agreement to undertake original research in order to:
- Support good practice guidance on a number of areas of planning.
- Provide evidence for updating policy and making planning policy more efficient in light of changes occurring over time.
- Support consultations and engagement with a wide range of stakeholders in planning policy.
- Support Environmental areas of planning policy such as Planning Policy Statement (PPS)-20 Development and Coastal Erosion, PPS25 Development and Flood Risk and planning policy for water.
- Underpin the development of new Ministerial priorities.
As with WRc’s work supporting the Building Division of CLG, we will be helping CLG to
recommend and deliver major changes to the planning system for frontline users and to help local planning authorities and others deliver the changes. The changes are expected to make key contributions to the CLG’s objectives on managing climate change, delivering 3 million houses, supporting economic development and sustainable communities and reducing bureaucracy.
