Why We’re Printing the NPPF for Free – And Why We’re Asking You to Support LandAid

by | Jul 20, 2026 | News | 0 comments

The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) remains one of the most frequently referenced documents in the planning profession. Whether you’re preparing applications, attending committee meetings, or reviewing policy changes, having a professionally printed copy can still make a significant difference.

At iPrintManage, we’ve always looked for practical ways to support planners. That’s why we’ve made our printed NPPF available completely free of charge.

But there’s one small request.

Instead of charging for the document, we’re inviting recipients to make a voluntary donation to LandAid – the property industry’s charity working to end youth homelessness.

A Small Gesture That Can Make a Real Difference

Planning, development and the built environment shape the places where people live, work and thrive. Supporting an organisation that helps young people access safe accommodation feels like a natural extension of the industry’s wider social responsibility.

LandAid works with charities across the UK, funding projects that provide:

  • Safe and secure accommodation
  • Employment and education opportunities
  • Mental health and wellbeing support
  • Long-term pathways out of homelessness

Every donation, regardless of size, helps fund projects that change lives.

Why Are We Giving Away the NPPF?

The NPPF is one of the most heavily used reference documents in planning.

Although digital copies are convenient, many planning professionals still prefer having a printed version available during meetings, consultations and site work. Highlighting sections, adding notes and quickly referencing policy remains easier with a physical document.

Rather than treating it as another printed product, we wanted it to become something more meaningful.

By covering the printing ourselves, we hope more people will choose to support LandAid instead.

Supporting the Industry Beyond Print

At iPrintManage, we don’t simply produce drawings, reports and consultation materials.

We work alongside planning consultants, architects, developers, local authorities and engagement specialists every day. That gives us an opportunity to contribute back to the industry wherever we can.

Our support for LandAid joins a growing list of community initiatives that reflect the values of our business, alongside environmental projects and wider charitable partnerships.

We’re proud that something as simple as printing a policy document can help start conversations about giving back.

Who Can Request a Copy?

Our free printed NPPF is available to professionals working across the planning and development sector, including:

  • Planning consultants
  • Architects
  • Developers
  • Local authority planning teams
  • Planning students
  • Urban designers
  • Engagement and communications specialists
  • Environmental consultants

Whether you keep it on your desk, take it to planning committee, or carry it to site meetings, we’re happy to produce it for you.

Join Us in Supporting LandAid

If you’re requesting a printed copy of the NPPF, we simply ask that you consider making a voluntary donation to LandAid.

Together, we can turn an everyday planning resource into an opportunity to help young people facing homelessness.

It’s a small contribution that has the potential to create a lasting impact.

Request your free printed NPPF today, make a donation if you’re able, and help us support the next generation with something far more valuable than a printed document—a safer place to call home.
