Breakfast Briefing on the NPPF 2026: Homes in Connected Places Stations, Density and the New “default yes” - Francis Taylor Building

This opening session will be the most development‑focused of the series and the principal event for housebuilders, landowners, transport bodies and authorities with station‑led growth opportunities. The Government has expanded the proposed station policy from the top 60 to the top 80 Travel to Work Areas by Gross Value Added, describing it as a more ambitious “default yes” for development around well‑connected stations. This briefing will explore the implications of that shift and the opportunities it creates for delivering homes in connected places.

Francis Taylor Building is uniquely placed to provide early insight into what the updated Framework means in practice, drawing on our market‑leading planning expertise and the direct experience of barristers who advised on its development.
