NPPF : who is the senior official controllng the NPPF day-to-day? - Public forum - Planning Advisory Service (PAS)

The word in Whitehall was that Greg Clarke did personally project manage the pulling together the final NPPF draft rather than a civil servant. The first draft was never civil service led either - but led by John Howells with John Rhodes, though there was civil service input before and after the PAS draft (via milkround) I dont think the DCLG ever got through the consultation responses though, despite an 'army of interns', the final consultation report still has not been published.

@Andrew What's the "PAS draft" ?

Sorry PAG draft Richard, PAF my PINS despite the PSA I PAFFED up confusing acronyms

A quick reminder about the original post: Can anyone suggest who is the senior official controllng the NPPF day-to-day? Many thanks!

Hi Richard, It depends what you're after. You've asked for the senior day-to-day, which is a bit of an oxymoron. There are theme leads within the planning team (although they change and I don't know that they are "public") who would probably end up answering any question of detail. And as you mentioned, Steve Quartermain is head planner. He also speaks a lot of sense, and would redirect you as appropriate. You could just ask DCLG - contactus@communities.gov.uk

>>> You could just ask DCLG. Done! They are getting back to me as (you have also pointed out) the answer appears to be more complex than a single contact name.
