Planning is about the influence of social, environmental and economic considerations
on physical space – in other words, what can be built where? RTPI planners have
particular skills in planning processes and techniques to influence plan making
and decisions over whether a development should gain planning permission. They therefore
work on spatial issues including socio-environmental matters and urban design, providing
specialist knowledge and advice to clients.
Savills is an RTPI learning partner, providing corporate RTPI membership
as a single professional route to chartered planner status (MRTPI), requiring core
competencies in spatial planning and planning processes. The RTPI Assessment of
Professional Competence (APC) route involves working through professional development
with a mentor, a log book and a written report.
