Survey 2022

We know from existing research that many local authorities planning and placemaking teams are under-resourced. Our survey seeks to build an understanding of the skills gap and the impact that a lack of resources has on officers and their teams across England.

Our Resourcing & Skills Survey is specifically designed to be a short, easy-to-complete online questionnaire to learn more about the placemaking resourcing and skills challenges being faced by local government placemaking officers across England.

Public Practice first ran this online survey from 4 February - 4 March 2022, supported by Homes England and Nightingale Design Research.
