Simon Hawley, Director of Harris Lamb’s Planning team, said: “The past year has seen us grow our team considerably, and Lauren’s appointment is a great asset to our department. She brings a wealth of expertise to the team, including the insight gained in preparing and delivering the Local Plan during her time as a Planning Officer at Three Rivers District Council, and her consultancy experience within the residential, commercial, renewable energy, defence and agricultural development sectors.

“We were also impressed with Lauren’s dedication to the field, which has seen her study for and achieve a Masters degree in Planning, Policy and Practice from London South Bank University, win several professional awards and achieve Chartered membership of the RTPI (Royal Town Planning Institute) in 2023.

“I was keen to join the business due its strong reputation throughout the region, its exciting project pipeline, and the variety of projects and clients that the team services. The company is also known for mentoring and supporting career progression, all of which made this a great move for me to advance within the field.”
