Chant takes consultancy role at HOW
HOW Planning has once again expanded its team, with Daniel Chant joining as a planner.
Chant joins the Manchester-based consultancy from Gladman Homes, where he also worked as a planner.
In his new role, he will work on a range residential, employment and mixed-use schemes for clients including housebuilders Taylor Wimpey and Bloor Homes along with commercial property developer Kingmoor Park Properties.
Gary Halman, managing partner at HOW, said the jobs market was currently strong for planning consultants with a proven track record and that more appointments would be announced soon.

Chant has both a bachelors degree and a postgraduate diploma in town planning from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Louisa Fielden, also joins HOW, as a graduate planner, from Manchester University, where she is just finishing a master’s degree in town and country planning.
