Building a movement to strengthen and support public sector planning

Welcome to the Planning Alliance, a cross-sectoral, multi-disciplinary group of built environment stakeholders who are focused on strengthening and improving public sector planning to deliver sustainable, inclusive growth for the UK.

About
the Planning Alliance

The Planning Alliance exists to renew our public planning capacity — to make it fit for the future, valued by society, and capable of supporting and shaping great places for all.

The case for change is clear - Council’s struggle to recruit or retain talent, workloads are unmanageable, and there are poor perceptions of the planning public sector. The challenges facing the public planning sector is a threat to the future of the industry’s ability to attract, develop, and retain talent.

From this position, a new broad sectoral alliance has emerged.
