They plan where we will live and where we will work. They decide which buildings will be pulled down and which will be put up. Sometimes they get it right, sometimes they get it wrong. They are that amorphous group we ignore until they want to put a motorway, a pylon or whatever at the bottom of our garden. They are The Planners. Are they visionaries or vandals? How well do they do their job? Do we have too much planning or too little? How much say do we, the public, really have in the planning decisions that affect our lives?
