Yeah. That's one of the major changes I noticed. Because Planning was legally required to consult the public and discuss its comments from the 1971 Act onwards, planning education focussed on analysing criticism to establish whether there was anything we could learn. Consequently, we always asked questions and tended to go back to first principles ourselves: why are we doing this? what is the objective? etc. Oh and anyone could ask to see our case and project files.
Increasingly we were taken over by managers who weren't planners and hence didn't get the 'let's find all the weaknesses so we can then fix them' approach and tended to get huffy when questioned. *G*
Of course the other option is to ensure your feedback is on record then when it all falls apart ...
