A property consultancy has appointed a senior planning expert to its expanding team following a 13-year career in local government and the public sector.
Andrew Johnson has joined Fisher German from Erewash Borough Council in Derbyshire where he began his planning career in 2012.
He brings his wealth of experience in the planning sector, including managing planning applications and decision-making processes, to the ever-growing planning team in the Ashby office.
However, it is in strategic planning and policy development where Andrew’s expertise will benefit Fisher German’s clients across the UK.
He said: “I’ve always enjoyed the theoretical and long-term side of planning – looking at how places evolve and what we can do today to shape their future.
“Having worked on the forward-thinking side of development management, I’m now keen to support landowners and promoters, and to work closely with Fisher German’s development agency team, to bring together strategy and delivery.”
Partner Angela Brooks, who heads up the strategic planning team at Fisher German, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Andrew to the team.
“His strong foundation in public sector planning and clear enthusiasm for strategic policy will add real value to the work we do across the country.
“Andrew brings the kind of insight and mindset that aligns perfectly with our collaborative approach to planning and development.”
