Planning Aid Wales is governed by a Management Board made up of fifteen trustee Directors. The Board meets formally four times each year and is accountable in charity and company law for making sure we keep to our charitable objectives, and that our finances are effectively managed.

Board Directors represent a wide range of planning and related interests and are drawn from a number of different sectors, including local government, consultancy, academia and affiliated planning and environmental organisations. Directors participate in committees and working groups.

Directors serve on the Management Board as individuals in their own right; they do not represent the interests of the organisations for which they work.

Current Board directors:

Tony Humphreys – Chartered Planner (retired)

Neil Harris - Senior Lecturer, School of City and Regional Planning, Cardiff University

Peter Kingsbury – Senior Planner, Cardiff Council

Ian Horsburgh – Chartered Planner (retired)

Allan Archer – Business Transition and Benefits Manager, City and County of Swansea

Planning Aid Wales is interested in recruiting Directors from a variety of backgrounds and with a range of different skills to offer. Directors do not have to be professional planners or involved with the planning sector. For further information please download the Director application pack here or contact us directly.
