Nearly Forty Years in the Planning System. Still Standing. Still Writing.

Steve Hesmondhalgh is a chartered town planner, author and planning consultant who has spent four decades in development management — as a council officer, private consultant, enforcement specialist and appeal agent. He has advised landowners, trained planners, attended more site visits than is strictly advisable, and written extensively about the surreal, infuriating and occasionally magnificent world of UK planning.

His books range from darkly comic planning fiction and personal memoir to practical professional guides for development management officers and rural consultants. All available as instant digital downloads.
