Many architects feel that dealing with planning is one of the most difficult and frustrating elements of their work. Although the detailed future shape of the planning system is cu rrently unclear following Michael Gove’s announcement of a rethinking of the proposals in the Future of Planning White Paper, many of the fundamental elements are likely to remain --- particularly in areas of sensitivity. This Cover-to-cover session will unpack and explore the practical guidance contained in the Good Practice Guide. The content of this seeks to parallel the work that architects will be doing at each stage of the Plan of Work with what can, should or could be happening at the same stages in the planning process. The session will allow the opportunity to explore some of the tactics suggested in the Guide and some of the key self-help questions which the guide asks of its users stage by stage in the design and planning process. It will also have a particular focus on the potential of a well-prepared Design Statement, even when there is no regulatory requirement to submit one, given its potential to act as design process tool aimed at managing the relationship with planning, even if limited resources on the planning side restricts direct conversation.
