Acronymity in Acronymania (AA)
I was reading a Civic Trust Circular the other day and in the space of two pages I encountered no less than 19 acronyms behind which lurk the many headed Hydra of the new planning system being foisted upon us in the name of Regionalisation. It seems we have to learn what these acronyms mean even though it is impossible to understand what the bodies (heads) they represent actually do....- CT Civic Trust
- CTSE Civic Trust South East (to fit in with SE Region)
- EEACTS East of England Association of Civic Trust Societies
- SEERA South East England Regional Assembly
- COVER Community and Voluntary Forum Eastern Region
- RAISE Regional Action & Involvement in the South East
- EEEF East of England Environmental Forum
- SEFS South East Forum for Sustainability
- CPRE Council for the Protection of Rural England
- SERDP South East Region Design Panel
- CABE Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment
- SCAD Solent Centre for architecture and Design
- SEEDA South East England Development Agency
- LSP Local Strategic Partnership (Only way to influence LDD)
