(see especially the part under the heading National Planning Policy Framework, and the paragraph directly above about the BIDEN principles on which it is based:
“The 5 factors I have mentioned as crucial to winning back support for new development – which will allow us to fall back in love with the future – are beauty, infrastructure, democracy, the environment and neighbourhood. Together – B, I, D, E, N – they spell Biden. I hope I will not be misinterpreted by anyone when I say I am violently pro BIDEN.”
