The RTPI promotes the Planning Consultancy Awards to recognise the contribution made by consultants to better planning practice in the UK and Ireland. Winning – or being shortlisted – is a great way to prove you’re at the forefront of the profession.

There are three categories in the awards;

• Planning Consultancy of the Year
• Small Consultancy of the Year
• Planning Consultant of the Year

These categories are determined by the size of your planning practice. For the purposes of these awards, a Small Planning Consultancy is defined as a practice employing no more than 10 Chartered Town Planners and a Planning Consultant as a Chartered Town Planner who is the sole fee-earner in the practice.

The Planning Consultancy of the Year Awards seek to identify exemplary practice that meets the requirements of clients and the wider community and carries weight within the profession at large. The awards recognise the diversity of the planning consultancy sector and its clients and the variety of work involved, and all types of planning consultancy activity and businesses are equally eligible. The judging process will assess the quality of work, not on the size, scale, value or geographical spread of projects undertaken or the commercial performance.
