National planning framework 4

Part of: Our previous work

In 2019, Culture Counts convened a National Planning Framework cultural working group comprised of eighteen cultural organisations from across the UK. A small group of representatives met with the National Planning Framework 4 team to discuss cultural themes; including economic contribution, attractions and tourism, place standard and human requirements for wellbeing, agent of change, cultural buildings, vibrancy-day and night-time economy.

Based on the outcomes of this working group and the contributions of our Core Members, Culture Counts submitted a response to the Government’s call for evidence on the NPF4 bill. We were pleased to see many of those recommendations included in the final bill.
