Cheffins expands planning division

Emma Healey has been appointed Senior Heritage Planner as part of the continued expansion of Cheffins’ planning division.

She joins from Barton Willmore, now Stantec, where Emily held the position of Senior Heritage Planner and worked on a variety of heritage projects nationwide.

At Cheffins, Emma will be focussing on supporting the planning team through providing specialist heritage advice for the firm’s diverse range of clients throughout East Anglia. She is already getting started on projects relating to detailed changes to listed buildings, development in conservation areas and in the setting of heritage assets.

Adam Tuck, Head of the planning division at Cheffins, commented: “Emma joins the team with a wealth of experience in the heritage planning sector. We have a diverse range of clients here at Cheffins, many of whom own older buildings which are in need of updating and maintaining, whilst protecting their heritage character, and we are sure that Emma’s specialist experience in this field will come as invaluable to many. The Cheffins planning team is currently in a period of expansion as we look to consistently provide an efficient and effective service for clients throughout the region.”

Emma added: “I am excited to start helping clients work through and understand the policy surrounding heritage, and highlighting how heritage can be viewed as an opportunity rather than a constraint.”
