To be fair, rather than replace PPS5, it may integrate it into a remodelled single national policy framework.
However, I fear the Minister may be attempting to run before he can walk here. Anyone in the UK who starts talking about 'national policy' documents can have little understanding of how the current planning system works with regard to the historic entenchment of local and regional variations. And needless to say with this joke of an administration. it would be appear to be entirely at odds with the Localisation Bill launched last week.

With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
