Environmental Planning Research Postgraduate

Over the last six months our Environmental Planning Team has been most fortunate in having Dan Fox’s assistance. Dan completed his MSc in Environmental Management last year and was keen to gain experience of environmental planning before heading to London to seek employment in education for sustainable development.
