Some proposals in the new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) are concerning in the current challenging environment, according to Jennie Daly, chief executive of Taylor Wimpey. Speaking at the Home Builders Federation’s conference session at UKREiiF in Leeds, Daly said she was pleased with the government’s first revisions of the NPPF in 2024, including the reintroduction of five-year housing land supply. “The [introduction of] of greybelt was like a hallelujah moment.” But Daly added that she was “more concerned about things in the recent [NPPF] consultation”, which closed in March. “I wouldn’t be so concerned if the environment wasn’t challenging. Viability is a genuine challenge.”
