The Future of Strategic Planning

Date: 26/5/2010

The Planning Officers Society (POS) and the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI)  represent all the professionals involved in planning in the private and public sectors - including those at the highest levels in local government - and a range of groups and individuals, including some elected members and community groups, who are concerned with planning.

Both bodies have supported and promoted the development of effective planning practice and a style of democratic planning that puts the needs of communities at its heart.

We are joining together to urge the Coalition Government to work with us in devising alternative approaches to locally based strategic planning before it dismantles the existing system.
