The Deputy Prime Minister, Tony Blair, asked Sir John Egan to conduct a review of the skills and training that built environment professionals require to deliver sustainable communities. This review followed publication by the Deputy Prime Minister in February 2003 of the £22 billion Sustainable Communities Plan. This highlighted the need for the right people with the right skills in the right place to deliver the Government's action programme. The Review looks at the skills and training required by professionals, planning authorities and developers and how they can work together in achieving measurable improvements to the communities they serve. It will also consider how any skills gap can best be bridged.
