POS - "the credible voice of local government planning"
A message from the President
The Society, or POS for short, represents the most senior professionals and managers of planning functions in the English Local Authorities. We set out to :
 |
- Act as an advocate and promoter of Local Government planning
- Assist and advise the Government and the Local Government Association on planning matters and related issues
- Act as a centre of excellence, undertake research and promote best practice in planning matters
- Promote all aspects of the built and green environment by working closely with other organisations and profession
| The Society's aim is to ensure that planning makes a major contribution to achieving sustainable developments, from national to local level, in ways, which are fair and equitable and achieve the social economic and environmental aspirations of all sectors of the community.
The Society's work is principally undertaken by seven Committees covering all aspects of planning and the management of the built and green environments, and also operates on a regional basis.
In 2007/08 the Society's efforts are to build upon the progress made to date and to cement the role of POS as a positive force for planning.
Steve Quartermain, President 2007/08
