RTPI Cymru
RTPI Cymru promotes planning as a profession and builds links with other built environment professions and organisations throughout Wales. We offer members a programme of affordable seminars and events to assist with their continuing professional development requirements, and also publish "Planning Wales", a regular newsletter for members.
We have a membership of 1,000 planners, drawn from the Welsh Assembly Government, National Parks and local government, private consultancies, the education sector and other organisations working in the field of planning. We welcome the views and opinions of all our members, and we are always looking for volunteers to help with running our programmes.

WALES' FIRST PLANNING CONFERENCE: POSITIVE PLANNING FOR WALES
The Conference, to be held on 3rd July in Cardiff, is the first planning conference focused on Wales and heralds a new era for the planning system and the planning profession in Wales. Against the background of the Planning Bill and the probable granting to Wales of its own primary legislative powers on plans in relation to the development and use of land, this conference will explore how to enhance planning’s role in managing spatial change in Wales.
These important reforms are new ventures for planning delivery in Wales. But the path is not yet clear – Welsh and English planning legislation is still interwoven; questions remain on the introduction of aspects of the 2004 Act, how the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) will work on an England and Wales basis and the role of the Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC) in Wales.
