Montagu Evans has bolstered its planning team with the appointment of Rachel Crick from Avison Young as a partner.
Crick sent six years at Avison Young and specialises in securing complex planning consents in the London market.
In her new role, she will advise housebuilders, landowners, investors, developers and public sector clients across a range of large-scale and complex development projects across the capital.
Craig Blatchford, head of planning at Montagu Evans, said: “Rachel’s specialism in securing consents for complex schemes across London is more important than ever as the team’s activity increases and our focus on supporting clients in overcoming planning and development challenges continues.
“Considering alternative uses, retrofitting and repurposing, particularly in the capital, is a major focus, as is increasing sustainability and social value. Rachel and our other new team members are all integral to our growth in these areas and we are very pleased to welcome them to the partnership.”
Crick added: “I’m delighted to join the planning team at Montagu Evans, which has a remarkable reputation in securing permissions for high profile and challenging projects across London. I’m looking forward to working with the planning and development teams to navigate the ever-changing landscape of the planning system for our clients.”
