JAXPLAN was the working title of an outline for a national plan produced by Jack Pritchard, Max Nicholson and a loose-knit group of like-minded friends, some members of PEP and some not, after Jack’s resignation from PEP in September 1932. Their model for "an effective planning instrument" (minutes of the Cambridge Planning Meeting, 1-2 October 1932, PP/7/2/1/3) was initiated at a week-end meeting in Cambridge attended by Jack and Molly Pritchard, Max Nicholson, A.E. Blake, N.J. Gordon Clark, Gerald Barry and "Basil D", and was eventually published under the title A View on Planning as a supplement to the magazine New Atlantis in 1933. The joint authors were Blake, Gordon Clark, Max Nicholson (responsible for drafting the text), Jack Pritchard (chairman of the group) and N.E. Smith. Others associated at one time or another with the group were: Robert Spicer, John Lawrence, and Arthur Elton. Ann Clayton was the group’s secretary. Raymond McGrath drew the graphic representation of the planning model which appears on page two of A View on Planning.
