This document discusses the need for a more collaborative approach to planning that centers communities. It provides an example of the High Bickington Community Trust in Devon that worked for 9 years to develop a plan for their community through the planning system. Key lessons are that community groups understand local needs better, need input from professionals, and the current adversarial system fails to find optimal solutions and limits community participation. The document advocates for a planning system that is more outcome focused and promotes place qualities through genuine collaboration between planners and communities.

3. The Foundation for Planners:
Rules of Conduct AICP Code of Ethics
The Planner's Responsibility to the Public
A planner's primary obligation is to serve the public interest. While the
definition of the public interest is formulated through continuous debate, a
planner owes allegiance to a conscientiously attained concept of the public
interest, which requires these special obligations:
A planner must have special concern for the long-range consequences of
present actions.
A planner must pay special attention to the interrelatedness of
decisions.
4. AICP Code of Ethics (cont.)
A planner must strive to provide full, clear and accurate information on
planning issues to citizens and governmental decisions-makers.
A planner must strive to give citizens the opportunity to have a
meaningful impact on the development of plans and programs.
Participation should be broad enough to include people who lack formal
organization or influence.
A planner must strive to expand choice and opportunity for all persons,
recognizing a special responsibility to plan for the needs of
disadvantaged groups and persons, and must urge the alteration of
policies, institutions and decisions which oppose such needs.
A planner must strive to protect the integrity of the natural
environment.
A planner must strive for excellence of environmental design and
endeavor to conserve the heritage of the built environment.
