Will Government's new planning framework create sustainable food cities?

Revisions to England's national planning policy framework (NPPF) are focussed on “meeting the challenge of delivering the right homes in the right places”. But how will planning make sure the residents of those homes will live in a sustainable food system? Will buildings be built with adequate kitchen and dining space, access to food growing, and access to healthy retail? Will prime farmland be protected for growing food? These are just a few of the concerns raised in Sustain’s draft response here.
