The Planning Podcast Ep 059 - Logistics

Freight and logistics are a huge part of the UK Economy. The new draft NPPF provides for the first time a specific national policy for freight and logistics (Policy E3), and "substantial" weight is now to be given to economic development when there is unmet need, but there are still no targets for increasing capacity in the freight and logistics sector. In the third of the series on 'NPPF Flashpoints', Christopher Young KC and Christian Hawley are joined by Angie Fenton, Senior Director at Quod, and a Member of the British Property Federation's Industrial Committee and the London Industrial and Logistics Sounding Board, to discuss the impact of the draft Framework.
