She will be supported by Alastair Willis, who joins the company as technical director (planning) from WYG and Marie-Louise Milliken, previously a principal planner at Banks Developments.

The firm is a specialist in minerals planning, as well as having experience in variety of other sectors, including renewable energy, residential and commercial.
