The role of a planner has expanded and diversified over the years in tandem with the increasing complexity of policy and regulation, and there are now opportunities to specialise in different areas of the sector.

Planning Careers: Specialisation - Choosing the right path

Planning spoke to recent graduates who have specialised to find out what their job entails, what attracted them to their role and what helped them to obtain it. All cite the importance of work placements in helping identify the area they are most interested in and ultimately giving them the knowledge and confidence to get a job in their chosen area. An undergraduate planning qualification is often just the first step along a planner's career path.

If you are graduating in 2007, we hope that this supplement will persuade you to consider following in their footsteps, because there is little doubt that the planning profession will require many able hands for years to come.

They carry out some of the functions previously carried out by the regional development agencies which were abolished in March 2012. To date there are 39 local enterprise partnerships in operation.[1] History[edit] LEPs were set up on a volunteer basis without any public funding and struggled to make progress.

Supporting economic growth through local enterprise partnerships and enterprise zones - Policy

We need an economy driven by private sector growth, with business opportunities evenly balanced across the country and between industries. We also need to reduce burdens for businesses, particularly in terms of lower tax levels, planning and other administrative burdens. Actions We’ve worked with local authorities to create local enterprise partnerships across the whole country. We’ve created 24 enterprise zones across England. The Department for Communities and Local Government and the Department for Transport have created the £730 million Growing Places Fund. Background Local enterprise partnerships In the coalition agreement, the government committed to establishing local enterprise partnerships to replace the Regional Development Agencies. The local growth white paper, published in October 2010, set out the roles that local enterprise partnerships can play depending on their local priorities.
