Planning and regeneration project expert Mark Howard leads the team from Exeter; he has considerable experience representing public authorities and private groups on the environmental, commercial, and regulatory aspects of planning mandates. In Cheltenham, Helen Hutton ‘gives practical, commercial advice’ and has experience advising on planning agreements, including those involving historic buildings and agriculture, court challenges, and compulsory purchases. In Exeter, Sarah Reardon has a focus on highway and sewer matters, with Harriet Grimes also dividing her time between a mixture of planning, highway, and residential development work.
