Midlands consultancy expands team as workloads rise

Property consultancy Aitchison Raffety is expanding its planning division to help it tackle growing workloads across the board in the Midlands.

Planning division managing director Nigel Ozier told Planning: "We have seen a jump in workloads across residential, commercial, retail and leisure sectors.

"Although this is a big company the planning division is not in the league of the Locks and Pegasuses of this world. But we have achieved big success with a range of clients."

Aitchison Raffety is looking to expand its Northampton-based planning team, which currently numbers three, to five but recruiting a senior planning consultant and planning consultant.

"The postholders will take on applications, appraisals and appeals, written reports and planning, design and access statements," said Ozier (pictured).
