The NPPF sets the national presumption in favour of sustainable development in England, directing local planning authorities to calculate local housing need using a standard method, maintain an updated five-year supply of deliverable housing sites, and pass the annual Housing Delivery Test (HDT) to prevent the application of the 'tilted balance' in planning decisions.
