Welcome to the Online Directory of Planning Consultants

I am delighted to support the RTPI Online Directory of Planning Consultants 2009, produced in association with Kaplan Hawksmere..

Whether you are looking for professional planning advice or a specific line of planning expertise the Directory is your authoritative guide to information on RTPI chartered town planning professionals.

As the largest professional planning body in the world, the RTPI understands the importance of high quality consultancy service. Over half of our 22,000 members are in consultancy and they have received the very best education, training and professional development in order to become corporate members. RTPI registered consultants are all subject to the RTPI’s code of professional conduct which means you can be sure expert advice is at hand.

This reliable, trustworthy and easy to use online database is comprehensive, listing approximately 500 consultancies providing expert knowledge and experience in all areas of planning.

For those looking for advice on selecting and appointing consultants this should be your starting point. Other highlights of the directory include:

• Alphabetical listings of all entries; • Regional listings, identifying practices geographically within the United Kingdom and abroad; • Specialist listings, showing practices by areas of expertise; • A search facility for tailored searches, based on area, specialism and experience; and • A world-wide listing – grouping practices on a country by country basis within each continent.

For those who prefer a printed directory, or are looking for regional leaflets, these are available through the website www.rtpiconsultants.com.

I hope you find the Directory an indispensable tool in selecting the right planning professional for your needs.

Martin Willey, President, RTPI 2009
