This now needs to be matched by a clear long-term plan to maximise the real estate sector\u2019s full economic, social and environmental potential.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlanning reform remains fundamental to delivering the Government\u2019s agenda and must be matched by additional capacity to deliver this. An additional 3,000 planners need to be deployed across England to help unlock the full potential of the system changes. On top of this we need urgent action to provide extra resource to key bodies like the Building Safety Regulator, where delays are currently holding back the delivery and occupation of thousands of homes across the country for up to a year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also invite the government to work with us to tackle further regulatory barriers and to address current viability challenges. With this partnership, our plan will help secure the future of our high streets, help to deliver new homes of all tenures, and could generate 25% of the UK\u2019s future clean energy needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>More planners are leaving than joining<\/h3>\n<p>Last month, the Royal Town Planning Institute <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/fifth-planners-leaving-the-profession-with-no-replacements\/157217\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">released the results of a survey<\/a> finding that the pipeline for replacing planners who are retiring or leaving the field is not sufficient.<\/p>\n<p>Up to 20% of planners will be leaving the profession without a replacement in the pipeline.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, understaffing is a frequent issue, as 58% of respondents say they are frequently overstretched in their roles, and 66% say their teams do not have the capacity to meet demand.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Victoria Hills, chief executive of the Royal Town Planning Institute, said: \u201cWithout the planners needed to meet homes and commercial demand, the system simply won\u2019t function. Not only do we risk losing the expertise required to create great places, without a scaled-up pipeline, we risk losing the workforce capacity to plan and enable new development. This report is a stark wakeup call for all to note and act.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robbie Calvert, head of policy and public affairs at the RTPI, said: \u201cOur report lays stark the multitude of issues our profession is currently facing, framed by a backdrop of years of severe disinvestment. For the government to meet its housing targets and its net zero ambitions as a part of the growth agenda we need to ensure that we have sufficient planners with the appropriate resources to undertake this critical work. Without such considerations, this constitutes a strategic risk for our country both in terms of driving our economic ambitions and creating great places of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Planning Inspectorate will begin a recruitment drive for local planning inspectors in the new year to tackle the shortage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":157876,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[882,173172,679,172839],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-157875","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-planning-construction-news","8":"tag-employment","9":"tag-local-authorities","10":"tag-local-plan","11":"tag-recruitment"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>[VIDEO] Local planning inspector recruitment to begin in earnest in new year<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Planning Inspectorate will begin a recruitment drive for local planning inspectors in the new year to tackle the shortage\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/video-local-planning-inspector-recruitment-begin-earnest-new-year\/157875\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"[VIDEO] Local planning inspector recruitment to begin in earnest in new year\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Planning Inspectorate will begin a recruitment drive for local planning inspectors in the new year to tackle the shortage\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/video-local-planning-inspector-recruitment-begin-earnest-new-year\/157875\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
