Protect and enhance the nationally significant historical and environmental character of York, including its historic setting, views of the Minster and important open areas National Planning Policy Framework . The presumption in favour of sustainable development . For plan-making this means that: – local planning authorities should positively seek opportunities to meet the development needs of their area; – Local Plans should meet objectively assessed needs, with sufficient flexibility to adapt to rapid change, unless: i.) any adverse impacts of doing so would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in this Framework taken as a whole; or ii.) specific policies in this Framework indicate development should be restricted 5 Housing supply requirement (Paragraph 47) Local planning authorities should identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide five years’ worth of housing against their housing requirements with an additional buffer of 5% (moved forward from later in the plan period) to ensure choice and competition in the market for land. Where there has been a record of persistent under delivery of housing, local planning authorities should increase the buffer to 20% (moved forward from later in the plan period) to provide a realistic prospect of achieving the planned supply and to ensure choice and competition in the market for land National Planning Policy Framework (Paragraph 212) the policies contained in this Framework are material considerations which local planning authorities should take into account from the day of its publication. The Framework must also be taken into account in the preparation of plans 6 National Planning Policy Framework (Paragraph 213) Plans may, therefore, need to be revised to take into account the policies in this Framework. This should be progressed as quickly as possible, either through a partial review or by preparing a new plan. National Planning Policy Framework (Paragraph 214) For 12 months from the day of publication, decision-takers may continue to give full weight to relevant policies adopted since 2004 even if there is a limited degree of conflict with this Framework. 7 National Planning Policy Framework (Paragraph 215) In other cases and following this 12- month period, due weight should be given to relevant policies in existing plans according to their degree of consistency with this framework (the closer the policies in the plan to the policies in the Framework, the greater the weight that may be given).
