LSE London arranged a roundtable to discuss the Draft National Planning Policy Framework on 28 September 2011. Sixteen people attended the event which debated the relevant economic, social and housing issues proposed by the NPPF for the UK and London in particular. Based on the discussions held, the academic participants from LSE and elsewhere co-drafted an official submission for the government's consultation process detailing areas and topics that were agreed could be improved or approached differently.
