John Snow - Move aside the King in the North! This is the Prince of Planning!
Two weeks ago I sat down virtually with the awesome John Snow who gave me an insight further into the world of Planning. We work together in Build Studios based in Waterloo, where John runs his successful business called Tetrik Planning. Join us to talk about what the role of a planning consultant does, how they work with Architects, find out what a Section 1:06 agreement is and all the news about the Tesco's in my parent's village.

About
The story so far.
The person behind the work.
John Snow is a chartered town planner (MRTPI) and the founder of Tetrick Planning, a planning consultancy based in Waterloo, London, advising architects, developers, landowners and business owners across London and the South East.
He has around 16 years of planning experience across both the public and private sectors. John began his career at a local authority before moving into private practice, where he built detailed knowledge of complex and contentious schemes spanning retail, mixed-use and housing, as well as minerals, waste and land management. He founded Tetrick Planning to offer a direct, client-focused service, from permitted development and prior approval requests through to major applications requiring environmental impact assessment.
In this Architecture Social conversation, John explains what a planning consultant actually does, how planners and architects work together, and why Section 106 agreements matter. He makes the case for early, planning-led thinking, clear communication and realistic advice on difficult sites.
