SECTION 3: POSTS HELD
Please give details, in chronological order, of posts held. ALL FIELDS ARE MANDATORY.
Part time experience: The average working week is considered to be 35 hours, so you need to pro-rata your part-time
hours against the 35 hour week. For example, 2.3 weeks at 15 hours a week equals one week full-time.
SECTION 4: CORROBORATOR DETAILS
Please give details, in chronological order, of posts held. ALL FIELDS ARE MANDATORY.
It is important that you have your submission corroborated by a former or current supervisor or employer. This is, in
part, to ensure the integrity of all submissions. It is also for your benefit. Having someone review your submission
before you submit will assist you in your reflection and highlight any discrepancies.
The RTPI sees value in maintaining a discipline of corroboration for the submission. This process also ensures that
your former or current employer is aware of the claims you are making and the work that you have put into your
submission.
You are required to provide a letter or email from each employer or manager referenced in your submission, which
states that they have read the relevant parts of your submission and agree with your claims. The corroboration
statement must refer to your personal submission, stating your name, role within the organisation and must comment
specifically on the work you have undertaken. It is not adequate to provide a generic letter.
Your corroborator does not have to be a member of the RTPI. Your corroborator can also be your sponsor if they are
Chartered member.
If you are experiencing difficulties in gaining corroboration please contact the Membership Team on 020 7929 9494 to
discuss.
SECTION 5: SPONSOR DETAILS

APPLICATION FOR CHARTERED MEMBERSHIP: RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENT
Nature of acceptable practical experience
The aim of the practical experience requirement is to enable the Panel to be satisfied that the applicant has
appropriate experience which, coupled with the separate measure of educational achievement, warrants his/her
engaging in and contributing towards the profession of spatial planning as defined in the Royal Charter.
The following types of activity, whether broad-based or specialist and at a local, regional, national or international
scale, are acceptable as relevant spatial planning experience;
a) The preparation of plans, policies and related documents: this will include research and analysis of information
for policy formulation, and the preparation of contributory material, as well as the actual formulation and monitoring of
policy, guidelines and advice. Spatial development strategies and statutory development plans as well as master,
town, settlement and conservation plans for buildings, urban areas and the countryside. Development briefs, design
guides, environmental and traffic impact assessments. Sustainability appraisal, transportation and economic
assessments and travel plans. The associated processes of economic development, community engagement,
preparation of materials for Inquiry, advocacy and presentation to clients are regarded as integral to plan preparation.
b) Plan implementation: statutory development control and enforcement are included with the handling of appeals at
all stages. Preparation, submission and following through of planning applications. Implementation of plans or
schemes for conservation, environmental improvement, economic development, urban regeneration, traffic and
transportation, tourism, minerals, waste disposal, or derelict land reclamation. Planning involvement in housing and
housing management, community development, environmental education and recreation, and urban design. Site
appraisal, feasibility studies, scoping exercises and all forms of study preparatory to the submission of a planning
application. Experience gained from involvement in investigation, negotiation and resolution of breaches of planning
control, preparation of notices, handling of enforcement appeals and court proceedings is also acceptable.
c) Monitoring and Research: research and analysis of information leading to the making of planning policy or
planning recommendations and decisions. Funded research for clients from the public/private/voluntary sectors. The
monitoring of plans and policies leading to reports and plan revision. Planning submissions on behalf of planners is
also included, as is research appraisal. Relevant research undertaken towards a PhD qualification is eligible; provided
that the candidate has already completed an accredited qualification (i.e. research undertaken towards an accredited
PhD is not eligible, unless the candidate already holds an accredited undergraduate/postgraduate qualification). The
Membership Panel will consider the prime purpose of the research; the stage of the research; the organisational
context of the research; and how it relates to the making of spatial planning policy etc.
d) Teaching: teaching experience should be linked with the types of activity described in paragraphs (a) and (b)
above and should take place on courses related to spatial planning or to interest/community groups in the context of
community engagement.
The experience listed is intended to form an indication of the type of experience that is eligible towards membership,
and is not intended to be exhaustive.
Applicants whose experience is limited to one particular field should indicate why they feel that their narrower
experience justifies election to corporate membership.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Applicants wishing to submit teaching experience for consideration must demonstrate a combination of up to two
years of relevant teaching experience plus one year of practice-relevant experience in spatial planning. The latter
may include relevant planning research or research consultancy.
Applications containing an element of teaching experience should, as all other applications, be considered on their
merits in the light of all-round experience gained in both practice and teaching. Teaching experience would likely be
Page | 4
The Royal Town Planning Institute. 41 Botolph Lane, London, EC3R 8DL
APPLICATION FOR CHARTERED MEMBERSHIP: RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENT
acceptable provided, in combination with other experience, it is relevant, sufficiently practical in content and had a
reasonable measure of substance and coherence.
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Planning research and analysis of information leading to the making of planning policy or planning recommendations
and decisions are acceptable as relevant planning experience.
The applicant must provide sufficient information about;
 The primary purpose of the research
 The stage the research has reached – the applicant should have moved beyond the stage of information
gathering
 The organisational context in which the research has taken place – it may be necessary for an academic
submitting research experience to demonstrate direct links to other organisations to justify that the research
was practice-relevant
 The relationship of the research to the making of planning policy or planning recommendations and decisions
i.e; an academic submitting research experience should be able to demonstrate that it is practice-relevant
ACADEMICALLY QUALIFIED PRACTITIONERS IN OTHER PROFESSIONS
Applications from academically qualified practitioners in other professions whose practical experience is of a mixed
nature and is not solely in planning should be considered on their merits. Such applicants may have dual roles, for
example, as surveyor/planner, architect/planner, etc.
Applicants are expected to demonstrate that they have obtained a total of at least two years of practical spatial
planning experience, including, at least two periods of a minimum of three months of continuous spatial planning
experience.
OTHER KEY COMPETENCIES EXPECTED OF APPLICANTS


Written, oral, graphic and multi-media communication

Using information technology
Applicants should refer to their management competence by demonstrating briefly how their work included some
elements of management of operations, processes, people, other resources, information or personal time
management. Applicants are not expected to concentrate on management as an isolated subject, but rather to show
how their management competence relates to and is an integral part of their planning experience.
You will be expected to demonstrate in your statement of experience (in 2,500-3,500 words) that you have spent the
equivalent of two years’ full-time in professional work directly related to Town Planning, obtained post election to the
recognised Institute. You are asked to write the statement in such a way that the experience can be
judged in its totality, e.g. what percentage of work was directly related to town and country planning as opposed to
work of another nature? You should clearly describe your personal contribution in both breadth and depth, in
accordance with the “Nature and form of experience” as outlined above. Please describe the posts held and their
direct relevance to the work of a planning team.
Your statement will have to be fully corroborated see Section 4. The nature of the practical experience you are offering
should be of such a kind that you can demonstrate a competence to undertake some aspect, or aspects, of
professional work. The experience can be generalist or specialist; it can be broad-based or contributory to one
particular field; it can be gained in team work or in an individual capacity; it can relate to public service, private
practice, research and, in certain circumstances, to teaching. Where your experience is limited to one particular field
you will have to indicate why you feel your narrower experience justifies your election.
In your statement of experience, you should also refer to your management competence, by demonstrating, briefly,
where your work has included some elements of the following: management of operations; processes, people; other
resources; information; or personal time management. You are not expected to concentrate on management as an
isolated subject, but rather to show how your management competence relates to and is an integral part of your
planning experience. You should also address these points within your Professional Development Plan (Section I).
Some spaces are provided in the application form but you will undoubtedly need to add to these. Please feel free to
paste as many new pages into the application form as needed, for this section.

SECTION 7: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (PDP)
7.1 Why is the PDP important?
The RTPI believes that one of the most useful pieces of CPD you can do is to
carefully prepare a PDP. All members entering the profession are required to
begin a habit of lifelong learning. Qualifying to enter a profession does not
mean that you remain competent to practice for the rest of your life. All
professions change, requiring all professionals to continue to learn, debate,
discuss and keep up-to-date on an ongoing basis. The PDP represents the
planning stage of the CPD cycle.
Your profession, your clients and the general public must have confidence in
the position of Chartered Town Planner. It is a designation that implies a
standard that you will be required to uphold. This focus on lifelong learning that
leads to a reflective and analytical professional is embodied in the RTPI Code
of Professional Conduct.
The Code states that members should:
a) at least once a year prepare a PDP for the next two years identifying his or her personal professional
development needs;
b) in any two year period undertake a minimum of 50 hours’ CPD activity related to the undertaking or managing
of town planning;
c) maintain a written record of his or her CPD activity.
The purpose of the PDP is for you to demonstrate the ability to analyse your professional learning needs and develop
a plan to cover any gaps in your knowledge and skills. It is a requirement to continue this reflective practice throughout
your career as a Chartered Town Planner and the Membership Panel are looking to see that you understand this
process.
Please note that every year we carry out an audit of PDP and CPD records from a randomly selected sample of our
membership. For more information on CPD monitoring please visit the RTPI website.
NOTE
Don’t treat your PDP as a last minute add-on to your application. It is as important as the Statement of Experience.
Give this part of your application equal consideration. As a Chartered Member, you would be expected to prepare
a PDP and review it at least once a year to support your professional development as per the Code.

APPLICATION FOR CHARTERED MEMBERSHIP: RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENT
7.2 Checklist for the PDP
Your PDP will be assessed on the following elements:

There is a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats Analysis) which can be seen to be clearly
connected in the main to the Statement of Experience. However, this does not mean that every item in the
SWOT must be linked to the Statement of Experience.

The majority of weaknesses identified in the SWOT should be addressed in the Action Plan, however, it is
recognised that not all weaknesses can be addressed in the timescale of the PDP.

One to three goal(s) have been identified that relate to the Statement of Experience. Each goal should have
two to four objectives which focus on skills and knowledge and two to three SMART (Specific, Measureable,
Achievable, Relevant and Time-based) actions per objective.

Objectives may be directly related to planning skills or knowledge. However, they do not have to be
exclusively focused on planning skills. Improvements in professional skills such as negotiation, presentation or
management are acceptable as long as these are within the context of your planning career aspirations.

There is an Action Plan which must be SMART (explanation in the template in 7.3).

The PDP does not have to be corroborated but actions should either be agreed with your line manager or
employer; or there should be an appropriate back up plan in place.

The PDP covers the two year period from the date of your application.

The PDP is within the word limit (1,500 words).
Each of these points must be met for the PDP to pass.
Goals can be career aspirations, like getting a promotion, as long as the planning context is clearly explained and the
associated objectives are focused on furthering skills and knowledge. It is better to explain what level you expect to be
working at in terms of the level of responsibility you will have and the type of work you will be doing.
NOTE
You are not required to get your line manager to corroborate your PDP although you should indicate that you
have line manager support for any actions which require it (e.g. attendance on a training course in work time).
Some of your objectives may be the same as those identified in any work-based staff development scheme. However,
your overall ambitions are likely to be wider than meeting the requirements of your current role and you should use
your PDP to plan your own professional development. Your PDP is not inflexible and should not prevent you from
taking advantage of (and recording) valuable but unexpected CPD opportunities. However, it does allow you to
evaluate all your CPD activities against carefully identified needs.

7.3 PDP template outline with guidance notes
In this section, a copy of the PDP template is provided along with guidance notes.
PART ONE – SWOT ANALYSIS
NOTE
You do not need to give an overview of your role at the start of the PDP; this has already been covered in the
Statement of Experience.
Develop a SWOT analysis based on your written submission. Your written submission looked back at your
achievements over the past few years while the SWOT analysis is looking forward.
Strengths
Be confident about what you’re good at – use them to
inform your goals in part two.
You might include:
• area of strong planning knowledge and
understanding
• strong transferable skills and competencies
• commitment to personal and professional
development
• good contacts/successful networking
Opportunities
Consider what opportunities can be integrated into a
goal in part two.
Weaknesses
Most “weaknesses” that you identify should be used to form
goals, objectives and actions in part two.
There should be a clear link between your “weaknesses” and
the goals, objectives and actions identified.
List only 3 – 5 weaknesses – this is enough. You need to
justify which weaknesses you are taking forward into the
action plan and why.
You might include:
• areas of weakness in planning knowledge and
understanding
• underdeveloped transferable skills and competencies
• poor commitment to personal and professional
development
• understanding that there is more to planning than your
current experience
Threats
What threats could affect your ability to meet your career
goals?
You might include:
You might include:
• opportunities within the industry
• industry downturns
• opportunities within your organisation
• negative changes within the organisation e.g.
• training & professional development opportunities
downsizing/restructuring
• support of RTPI (Regions & Nations, Young
• better qualified competitors
Planners, Networks etc.)
• limited training opportunities
• opportunities to volunteer
Please use the information from your SWOT to identify goals and objectives for Part Two.

The Royal Town Planning Institute. 41 Botolph Lane, London, EC3R 8DL
APPLICATION FOR CHARTERED MEMBERSHIP: RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENT
PART TWO – GOALS, OBJECTIVES & ACTION PLAN
For each goal you intend to achieve, you need to develop objectives and an Action Plan which must be SMART.
Please complete one to three goals; two to four objectives per goal; and two to three SMART actions per objective. You
may delete the goals, objectives and actions in the template as necessary.
You are not expected to get your line manager or mentor to corroborate your PDP but you should gain their support
for actions beforehand, if required.
GOAL
Where do I want to be professionally?
Your goal should be a high level strategic statement of what you want to achieve. Your goal should be clearly set in
the context of furthering planning skills and knowledge. It should specify the end result.
Consider the question: as a professional planner, what direction do you want your career to move in over the next two
years?
For a goal, you might like to think about where you would like to be working (perhaps in terms of organisation, sector
or even country); the nature of the work you would like to be doing (e.g. types of spatial planning role/specialism)
and/or the level you would like to be working at. Be aware that a goal such as ‘to obtain a promotion’ is, by itself, too
broad. Instead, identify what type and level of work you will be doing.
You must identify between one to three goals.
OBJECTIVE
What outcome will help me achieve this goal?
Objectives are sub-goals with measurable outcomes that you expect to help you achieve your goals. They are
therefore a way of breaking down your longer term goals so that you can begin to work towards or prepare for it. They
must relate to your goals and/or the areas of development identified in your SWOT.
Achieving your long term goal might depend on improving your performance in certain ways/addressing areas of
weakness identified in your SWOT.
While you are encouraged to set a goal that reflects a longer time frame, objectives should be more focused and
contribute to your overall long term goal and are likely to be addressed in the next 6-18 months. It is therefore
important also to break down the longer term goal into shorter term objectives, and in turn identify realistic Action Plan
activities (see next page) to achieve these in a set time-frame.
For each goal, you must identify two to four objectives.
Page | 10
The Royal Town Planning Institute. 41 Botolph Lane, London, EC3R 8DL
APPLICATION FOR CHARTERED MEMBERSHIP: RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENT
ACTION PLAN:
You must ensure that your actions are specific, measurable, time-bound steps that can be taken to meet your goal.
S – specific (be precise in the ‘Action’ column below)
M – measurable (see examples under ‘How will I know if I have achieved it’ below)
A – achievable (can you achieve this or is it an unrealistic goal, given time and other pressures?)
R – relevant (to you in your work setting)
T – time-based (specific dates)
Include constructions such as:
In order to…, With a view to .., So that I can…, Which will allow me to….
Your Action Plan shows a list of actions you will take to achieve each objective. They will answer questions such as:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
What will be done?
How will it be done?
Who will do it?
When will it happen?
Do I need senior officer approval?
Is there a budget for this training?
Do you have permission to work shadow someone?
Does it impact on your existing role?
Activities and tasks do not need to be sequential. You can carry out two or more activities concurrently. While your
PDP is a two year plan, the majority of actions can take place within the first year of the plan, if appropriate. An
indication of a good Action Plan is if it is detailed enough for someone else to implement.
For each objective, you must identify two to three SMART actions in the columns below.
Action
How will I know I have
achieved it
When will it commence and
finish?
Clearly identify what action (CPD activity) you will
undertake to achieve your objectives in order to
achieve your goal.
Some examples of how
you might measure your
learning are listed below:
Give specific months and years.
The actions listed will vary with each person.
Try and identify a minimum of three actions to
achieve your objectives (and therefore goal).
I will discuss results of my
research with colleagues
at a team meeting and
ask for feedback.
Be more specific than simply
“ongoing”.
Ensure that you have done the relevant research
into your actions (e.g. what further reading can you
access, what volunteering opportunities will be
available).
I will feel more confident
doing X and this will be
noticed by my manager.
Link your action to your awareness of lack of
knowledge/skills identified in part one/the APC log
book, if appropriate.
I am able to use my new
knowledge of X to advise
clients on Y.
If you are listing a course, be specific about which
course, where, who is paying for it, what you hope
to learn from the course and what you will do with
this learning. Consider if you need your manager’s
approval/your organisation to fund the action.
