Asiant : Knight Frank LLP

The landowner consortium generally supports the approach outlined in Draft Policy Direction 49. The policy direction emphasises the protection of agricultural land, aligning with the NPPF (2024), which underscores the importance of preserving higher quality agricultural land.

The NPPF maintains that when significant development of agricultural land is necessary, areas of poorer quality should be preferred over those of higher quality. This principle is reflected in the Draft Policy Direction, which aims to safeguard the most productive agricultural areas from development pressures.
