Planning Aid began in the early 1970s when the London Planning Aid Service (LPAS) was launched. Although LPAS has remained independent, other planning aid services are run on behalf of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI), the professional body for town and country planning. Since 2004, the Planning Aid service in England has been supported and expanded with assistance from the UK Government . This has had the effect of extending the Planning Aid service to many more areas of the country, and is in part a recognition that many communities find it hard to engage with the planning system, and that community involvement at the right time can help to deliver more successful policies and projects. Head of Planning Aid England is Dave Chetwyn. Planning Aid for Scotland was established in 1993 to provide people across Scotland with information and support to engage in the planning system. Planning Aid for Scotland works with you to shape Scotland's future, providing support and information when you need it. Planning Aid for Scotland's role is to: ensure that everyone has access to the planning system provide knowledge and information to all people help people to understand how the planning system works enable all people to play their part Petra Biberbach is Executive Director of Planning Aid for Scotland.
