Congratulations to Beth Street who has become a Chartered Town Planner, the ultimate qualification for the profession.

Beth joined PJA in 2016 on our graduate programme. She is now a consultant at our Birmingham head office and is experienced in a number of aspects of transport planning. She regularly supports public and private sector clients on a range of developments including residential, mixed-used, employment and infrastructure schemes.

She has been awarded the status by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI), after completing her Assessment of Professional Competence.

Beth said: “I’m really proud to be a Chartered Town Planner as it recognises my commitment to sustainable development as well as my skills and expertise as a professional planner.”

Martine Koch, RTPI Head of Membership, said: “I congratulate Beth for successfully making this important step in her career. Chartered Membership is the most highly sought-after professional status for planners. It demonstrates to clients, peers, the public and employers around the world that the individual works to the highest professional and ethical standards.”

The RTPI is Europe’s largest professional body for planners, with 25,000 members worldwide working in public, private, charitable and education sectors. As well as promoting spatial planning, the Institute sets high standards for planning education and is the only body in the UK that accredits Chartered Town Planners.
