Cheffins has appointed Emma Healey as senior heritage planner, as part of the continued expansion of the firm’s planning division.
Healey, who joins the firm from Barton Willmore (now Stantec) where she was a senior heritage planner, will provide specialist heritage advice to Cheffins’ clients across East Anglia.
Adam Tuck, head of the planning division at Cheffins, said: “Emma joins the team with a wealth of experience in the heritage planning sector. We have a diverse range of clients here at Cheffins, many of whom own older buildings which are in need of updating and maintaining, whilst protecting their heritage character, and we are sure that Emma’s specialist experience in this field will come as invaluable to many. The Cheffins planning team is currently in a period of expansion as we look to consistently provide an efficient and effective service for clients throughout the region.”
Healey added: “I am looking forward to working with the well-regarded Cheffins team and moving my focus to protecting heritage assets in the region. I am excited to start helping clients work through and understand the policy surrounding heritage, and highlighting how heritage can be viewed as an opportunity rather than a constraint. With a growing focus on the climate emergency, our work is increasingly important to demonstrate how sustainable adaption and creative reuse of historic buildings is crucial to preserving our existing buildings for future generations.”
