Congratulating the TAYplan team, Colin Haylock president of the RTPI, said: "Planners make great places, and what TAYplan demonstrate is that it is possible to show people how planners go about doing that. By approaching the need for a long-term strategy in a new way, they have brought planning alive." Pam Ewen, TAYplan Manager, said "This is a massive achievement within 3 years of TAYplan's work commencing. This is the result of a lot of hard work by TAYplan, its Local Authorities and Government agencies all working in collaboration."
