Summary

I take the view that planning is in many respects a practical endeavour with the very clear purpose of improving people's social and living environment but without damaging the natural environment. And since a planning system is put in place through policy, I also take the view that it inevitably has a political (with a small'p') element.

I have therefore maintained a long-term relationship with the Town and Country Planning Association, a charitable organisation founded in 1898 as the Garden City Association, which promotes sustainable, high quality planning for people.

I am also signed up to the TCPA's #Planning4People initiative, which aims to bring the lessons of sustainability into the classroom and lecture theatre.
