NPPF: Planning Officer workload?

Reading and analysing the NPPF document plus reading and (trying to) understand the 187 pages of "Securing The Future" and the 374 pages of the Brundtland report ... plus all sorts of related documents is taking me a HUGE amount of effort. Just curious: how the heck are planning departments dealing with the extra workload introduced by the NPPF?

Re: NPPF: Planning Officer workload?

That can't be right can it Richard? You clearly haven't been listening properly. The NPPF is the start and finish of it. LPAs just write whatever they want in their plans, all it has to do is conform to those 50 odd pages - you don't need all that other stuff. Stick it in the same bin as the RSS....ah, but then again...Of course there's the gypsy and traveller guidance. Then there's technical guidance for the NPPF itself and all the other stuff cross referenced in the footnotes of those 50 odd pages of the NPPF!
