RIBA Planning Group Member Application |
Thank you for your interest in joining the RIBA Planning Group. Please complete the form by the 13 September 2018 and send your CV to the Practice Department, practice@riba.org. Please outline in the email that you are applying to join the Planning Group. We will consider all applications and respond by the beginning of October 2018.
The group advises on the formulation and implementation of relevant RIBA policy, which seeks to influence the government's views on improving planning policy and implementation, with particular reference to the importance of sustainable development and good design.
The Planning Group also identifies and highlights issues affecting architects in practice and helps the RIBA develop guidance on navigating the planning system.
Membership is mainly made up of RIBA registered architects but we also welcome and encourage applications from suitably qualified non-architects with relevant skills and experience such as planners.
