A leading planning consultancy is expanding its northern presence with the launch of a new office in Leeds, located in the city’s business hub at Wellington Place, just a short walk from the railway station. This office forms part of the firm’s broader strategy to grow its northern footprint, with plans to increase headcount in the region and open a Manchester office soon.
The Leeds office will be led by Dan Mitchell, who joins as a partner with 28 years of experience in planning and development. He will oversee the establishment and growth of the northern team, with an ambition to scale to eight members within 18 months. The office will cater to clients from across the northern region, including landowners, developers, and public sector bodies, providing comprehensive planning services.
Supporting Dan is Hannah Malyon, a principal planner who will join in August with five years of experience, including work with the Environment Agency. The new office will focus on a wide range of planning projects, from residential and employment developments to retail and mixed-use schemes, serving both private and public sector clients.
The office’s design facilitates flexible, collaborative working, allowing the team to partner effectively with clients and project stakeholders across the region.
