New Town and Country Planning Department
Lanyon Bowdler are pleased to promote a new department within the firm. Rebecca Whittaker, a fully qualified solicitor, is now able to offer private individuals, business clients and landowners legal advice in relation to Town & Country Planning matters.
Rebecca, who trained with the firm, spent some time working in a large Birmingham practice before returning to Shrewsbury and Lanyon Bowdler. For the last three years she has been a member of the Commercial & General Property team, headed by Andrew Evans, and acts in all aspects of non-contentious property work. Rebecca has developed an interest in Town & Country Planning law through the nature of the work she has more recently specialised in and is enjoying the fresh challenge of the new department and this ever changing area of law.
Andrew Evans comments “I am delighted Rebecca has chosen to focus on Town & Country Planning Law, it is a new area for us but it complements the work we undertake for clients, particularly within our Property Department.”
Rebecca is able to offer practical legal advice on a range of matters such as planning applications, assistance in opposing applications and guidance on how to deal with appeals or enforcement actions.
