    Shelly Rouse is a Principal Consultant with the Planning Advisory Service, an arm of the Local Government Association that supports local planning authorities. Shelly has the impressive task of getting under the bonnets of planning services across the country. I’m not saying that the advice she gives is simple – but, to me, it is more than clear and absolutely essential.

    Urban Forecast x Pinch Yourself
    Jun 16 2024

    Back in May, I had the very welcome opportunity to sit down for a chat with Oliver Lowrie, Director of architecture firm Ackrowyd Lowrie. He is also a host, along with his business partner, Jon Ackroyd, of Urban Forecast podcast. For a couple of months, Oliver and I had been thinking about a podcast mashup - and it finally happened!


    Oliver gave me way too much airtime, and let me jabber on - but I appreciate it because I rarely get to be the jabberer. We talked about the interaction between planners and architects, inside and outside the planning process; the conversations that add value to our work; where we find our work values and - dare I say - reform-ish ideas.
