I think this is typical of where the profession finds itself. ARB is the only protection architects have but this is not the answer. we need to protect what an architect does and maybe even make it possible for the role of the architect and the planning system to come closer. ie Only a registered architect can prepare and submit a planning and building application application. RIBA has failed in its promotion of architects and architecture so that is not the answer either.

ARB might cost £3m a year but we as architects pay this through our subscription. The tax payer does not contribute any futher.
