Tech appoints new planning director for the South West"},"content":{"rendered":"<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tetratech.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tetra Tech<\/a> has appointed Joanne Halton, former head of planning at Rural Solutions, as its new planning director to support clients with the increasing number of self-build homes and bespoke developments across the South West<\/h2>\n<p>Joanne Halton has 17 years of experience in rural and urban planning and recently contributed to the Bacon Review surrounding the promotion of custom and self-built housing as a way to increase supply and build in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/net-carbon-negative-2\/101659\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">more sustainable<\/a> way.<\/p>\n<p>She will be responsible for leading the team\u2019s rural business, focusing particularly on the self-build market following the \u00a3150m government fund established in April, as more people look to move to the country and create their dream home.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, Halton is a long-term member of RTPI and has been involved in its mentoring scheme for 10 years.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Bringing specific experience to Tetra Tech\u2019s existing portfolio of planning experts\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Halton commented: \u201cI\u2019ve been following the trajectory of Tetra Tech\u2019s planning team ever since it was WYG and I\u2019ve always been impressed by the variety of disciplines and projects they\u2019ve gained permission on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoining the Wellington office means I still get the benefits of working for a smaller, immediate team, but with the wider support and opportunities provided by a large organisation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very much looking forward to bringing my specific experience to Tetra Tech\u2019s existing portfolio of planning experts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Halton\u2019s appointment is the latest strategic move for Tetra Tech\u2019s planning team, which supports applications for public and private sector clients in a variety of sectors, using its network of 20 offices across the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>The firm has recently undergone a hiring spree, with Halton being one of eight new appointments over the past two months, including Laura Black as a principal planner in Southampton and Natalie Wilson as senior planner in Milton Keynes.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Rise in self-builds and custom developments\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Nick Stafford, head of planning at Tetra Tech said: \u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/material-shortages-due-to-covid-19\/95464\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Covid-19 pandemic<\/a> has had a significant effect on building trends.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With Government backing the rise in self-builds and custom developments, we were keen to bolster our senior expertise so we can continue to support clients and our wider business strategy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoanne has a stellar track record of leading planning approvals for unique builds in both rural and urban environments, and I, along with the rest of our team, welcome her to Tetra Tech.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tetra Tech has appointed Joanne
