The Planning Supervisor role was created by the introduction of the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 1994 – more commonly referred to as “CDM” – on 31 March 1995. The Regulations were introduced to safeguard construction operatives and anyone else who may be affected.

A Planning Supervisor is required where a project is expected to last more than 30 days, involves more than 500 person days of work, if 5 or more people will be undertaking construction work at any one time or if demolition is involved. A Planning Supervisor is not normally required for a project carried out for a domestic client.
