In November 2012 Angus Kennedy joined a group of 20 on a programme that has been developed by CLG, the RTPI, RICS, POS and Locality.  The programme has been designed to develop a panel of appropriately qualified professionals who will be able to act as Independent Examiners for the emerging Neighbourhood Plans, over 400 of which are at some stage of development.

Angus was appointed to the panel following the course and examination.  The referral service will be launched in 2013 and managed by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.
