HARRIS LAMB WELCOMES NEW PLANNER TO THE BUSINESS

Harris Lamb has strengthened its successful planning consultancy with the addition of a new planner to its 10-strong team.

Delilah Green joins the team with a master’s degree in Spatial Planning and Development from Cardiff University, having spent the past two years at a consultancy in Shrewsbury.

Simon Hawley, Head of Harris Lamb’s Planning department, said: “This is a key time within the sector as we await the results of the Government’s consultation into the National Planning Policy Framework, which look set to kickstart the biggest reform to the planning system in more than a decade. Already we are working with clients to explain the proposed changes and to help them identify new opportunities for growth, and as we anticipate the coming months being exceptionally busy as clients move with their submissions, it is vital that we strengthen our team so that we are poised to support them.

“Delilah impressed us with the knowledge and understanding that she has built up since graduating in 2022, and her background within the private sector has provided her with a good foundation to work alongside our team on a variety of national projects. In particular, her experience of working on applications relating to areas of constraint, will make her a real asset to our team.”

Delilah, who has worked at Green Planning Studio since her graduation, said: “Having built up a strong understanding of planning policy and legal frameworks over the past two years, I was attracted to the multi-disciplinary nature of the business, and its experienced and comprehensive planning team.

“As a Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) Licentiate member, I am focused on working towards chartership as I broaden my experience and refine my skills within the sector. Harris Lamb has a well-established reputation for mentoring and supporting team members with their career path, and it feels like a place I can really grow my career.”
