John Snow - Move aside the King in the North! This is the Prince of Planning!

Planning can make or break a project, but many people outside that world only see the outcome rather than the process behind it.

Stephen Drew speaks with John Snow of Tetrik Planning about what planning consultants do, how they work with architects, Section 106 agreements, public and private sector planning experience, retail, housing and mixed-use schemes.

The conversation covers:

• What a planning consultant actually does
• How planners and architects work together
• Why Section 106 agreements matter
• How public and private sector planning experience differs
• Why direct, practical advice matters on complex schemes
