Planning Policy Statement 12: Local Spatial Planning
Planning Policy Statement 12 (PPS12)
sets out the Government's policy on local spatial planning,
which plays a central role in the overall task of place shaping
and in the delivery of land uses and associated activities.
This replaces Planning Policy Statement 12: Local
Development Framework (PPS12), published on 7 September
2004, and Creating Local Development Frameworks: A
Companion guide to PPS12, published on 2 November
2004.
This also replaces Planning Policy Guidance 12:
Development plans (PPG12) published on 14 December
1999.
The Plan-Making Manual is an online planning
resource which offers a new and responsive way to disseminating
good practice examples and guidance on the local development
framework regulations. The Manual will be periodically updated
in response to user feedback and as best practice examples
become available.
The Manual is available through the external link to the
Planning Advisory Service website on the right of this
page.
