Steve Quartermain is the head planner of England. His goal is to get planning on the front foot. Planning is often perceived by the public and the profession as “the problem.” But Steve believes it is the mechanism to resolve important issues such as climate change and community engagement. He believes planners have the skills to alter public fears and misunderstandings, which often hinder development which is in the public interest. 
Steve also explains the importance of streamlining planning policy and ensuring planners have the skills to deal with policy and write plans.
TARGET LEARNING OUTCOMES  
  • Understand the important function of planners within the national planning system and local authorities.
  • Value the importance of public perception and public engagement to the successful performance of the planning profession.
