SIMON WICKS
EDITOR OF THE PLANNER
Have We Got Planning News For You Thurs 9 May 5:30pm
The Planner RTPI is a staple for all RTPI members. And Simon Wicks is it’s very well known editor. Strictly speaking he’s the deputy editor. But he is the driving force behind it.
Simon is absurdly modest. I couldn’t get any personal accolades out of him at all.
So I asked a few people who know him.
And this is what they said:
“Simon is an excellent editor, he understands how to shape articles and voices to bring the best out of his contributers, whilst still trusting us to meet the brief on our own.”
“Simon champions new voices. He actively finds people with something to say, and gives them a platform they might not otherwise be able to access”
“He spots trends and matters that need attention - such as the focus on planners controlling the narrative around the planning system - or the importance of AI”
He’s also the man behind the Women of Influence list published every year to raise we the profile of successful women in our sector.
In an interview led by Sasha White KC, Simon will be discussing The Planner, planners and planning.
Mary Cook will be updating us on the latest planning news.
Paul G Tucker KC, Lord Charles Banner KC and Chris Young KC will be reviewing the latest court and appeal cases.
