Can I join?

Membership of the ICN is free of charge but is open only to RTPI members. Find out more about becoming an RTPI member. We expect that if you are running your own planning consultancy you will be a chartered town planner. 

If you have a different sort of RTPI membership (e.g. student or licentiate), and would like to join the ICN to find out more about working as an independent consultant, you are welcome to join, but we suggest making contact first, to find out if the Network will meet your needs. 

We don’t have strict criteria for the size of a small practice.

Benefits of joining

• a regular e-bulletin in which members can exchange information and keep up to date with small business and RTPI news
• an active discussion forum specifically for independent consultants to share opinions and ask for advice
• a dedicated website with relevant information and helpful links
• opportunities to attend annual meetings with The Planning Inspectorate, The Directorate for Planning and Environmental Appeals and The Planning Inspectorate (Wales)

How to join

1. Register on the RTPI website if you have not already done so.

2. Request to join the Network

Your ICN membership will be confirmed via email.

If you have any problems signing up online please contact the network manager.
