RSPB announce support for bringing forward wind development and say that we should be cutting delays in the planning system and identifying areas for wind development.
In conjunction with PPS Group (stakeholder communications experts) and Burges Salmon LLP (solicitors) Bernice Roberts (the Landmark Practice’s Principal Environmental Planner) has been presenting expert advice at breakfast seminars to a wide ranging audience across the country.
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.
His unstinting hard work and first class research abilities have been invaluable to all within the office. Dan has now moved on and we all miss his wry humour. Perhaps he may return one day!
