Mr Peter Hakes DMS FRTPI  [ E-mail ]

I am the principal of the consultancy and am assisted currently by one member of staff.

I am a Fellow of the Royal Town Planning Institute and I also hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Management Studies.

Back in 1992 I initiated the Essex Guide to Environmental Impact Assessment on behalf of the Essex Planning Officers' Association (EPOA).
The EPOA has since commissioned this consultancy to continue to review and update the Guide.

For two years in the late 80's I was a district councillor and was a school governor for seven years.

I have been on the RTPI Membership Board and was Vice Chair of the Membership Panel.

Since 1987 I have edited the RTPI East of England Regional Newsletter 'The Orient Express'.

I currently lecture on EIA at Anglia Ruskin University, and in the past I have lectured on EIA at Aberystwyth University, Colchester Institute, London School of Economics, University of Greenwich etc. and given numerous talks on the subject. I helped initiate the MSc course on EIA in Cambridge in 1992.

In 1992 I produced the first edition of 'Planning Legislation Update', and have been producing it ever since. This monthly service, aimed at planners in local authorities and in private practice, updates subscribers on planning legislation, new consultations, government announcements, good practice guidance etc.
