Planning and development consultancy Lichfields has opened a new office in Birmingham.
Planner Jon Kirby will head the new base at the Cornerblock on Cornwall Street. He is joined by fellow senior director Stephen Hollowood and planning director Laurence Homes.

Holmes has over 10 years of experience in private-sector planning consultancy with a strong track record in strategic promotion and managing complex applications, principally for residential and retail-led development.
James Fennell, chief executive of Lichfields, said: “We have acted on a large number of schemes in the Midlands over the years and the opening of the Birmingham office demonstrates the extent of our ambition to build upon these successful foundations.”
