We've been working with our members and industry leaders in Wales to develop the key manifesto asks - or 'Planifesto' - for the planning system in Wales in preparation of the upcoming Senedd elections in May 2026.

Our Planifesto proposes an overarching vision 'To empower planners to deliver positive impact, creating healthy, well connected, inclusive and sustainable places and communities.' To achieve this, we need a thriving and resilient Welsh planning system. That's why we have come up with a number of specific 'asks' to create a planning system that demonstrates best practice and is made with the best interests of communities.
