Evolution of the Para 84 Policy
NPPF Paragraph 84
The policy tests and how it has evolved
The Country House Clause has gone through various iterations. Richard Hawkes (Hawkes Architecture) and Daniel Gender-Sherry (Axiom Planning), take you back to 1997 when the first countryside policy, Gummer’s Law (PPG 7) was introduced and how it has changed through the years to what it is today Paragraph 84 (NPPF) (recorded when the policy was still at Paragraph 80).
