The new Government has set ambitious plans to significantly increase housing development, proposing urgent reform to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). These reforms aim to introduce a vision-led approach to transport planning, challenging outdated default assumptions of automatic traffic growth and promoting healthy communities, to tackle the scourge of childhood obesity.

This presents a rare opportunity to reshape the future of transport planning. The government is committed to publishing updated guidance in tandem with the new NPPF, and this conference will provide a platform to explore practical advice grounded in real-world experience. We’ll look at what has worked and where previous well-intentioned policies have fallen short, ensuring that this new vision leads to meaningful, impactful change. 

Vision-led transport planning isn’t just about new guidelines; it requires a fundamental shift in organisational culture across both government and industry. Join us for a day of dynamic discussion and exploration, where we’ll tackle important questions such as:

  • What exactly was wrong with the old approach?

  • Can the Transport Assessment (TA) process be radically overhauled, or do we need an entirely new framework for vision-led planning?

  • Is historical TRICS data a hindrance, or does it still have a role to play?

  • How should NTEM datasets and modelling be applied in Local Plans and development applications?

  • Why are simple tweaks to NPPF wording insufficient, and what deeper changes are required?

  • What does vision-led transport planning truly mean, and whose vision is driving this change?

  • Can NPPF reform succeed without updates to the 1990 Town and Country Planning Act?

  • How will local politics influence the adoption of a new transport planning approach?

  • If Plan B highways improvements are no longer an option, how do we ensure the vision is delivered?

  • What steps are needed to retrain development planners and local politicians?

  • Do we need more pilot studies to refine best practices?

  • Will the upcoming guidance be too limited if it’s rushed?

 This promises to be an insightful and engaging event for professionals across the transport and housing development sectors, as we work together to shape the future of our communities.

This event is brought to you by Local Transport Today magazine, in collaboration with the Transport Planning Society and sponsored by Mayer Brown.
