A new year means a new location for our Sheffield office. Planning & Design Practice are pleased to announce that our Sheffield team have moved into a new home! After 2 and a half years at the iconic structure that is Park Hill, we have moved to Westbrook Court on Sharrow Vale Road.
Moving from one listed building to another, Westbrook Court is a converted snuff mill, constructed in approximately 1833. It offers a great example of re-using historic buildings for modern purposes, with the character of the building remaining true and prominent.
As our team continues to grow, we needed a more spacious environment that will adapt to our needs as we continue to expand in Sheffield. New flexible workspaces, as well as additional space to grow, means that our future goals can be met from our new home. It was important to not just meet our current needs, but ensuring that we’re prepared for the long term as we enter this new chapter.
The location of the new office is also a big plus point. Sharrow Vale Road is one of the coolest streets in Sheffield, with plenty of independent businesses and a lively neighbourhood feel throughout. Being in an industry that is so focused on how people live and interact with the places around them, having the opportunity to be situated amongst one of the coolest streets was too good an opportunity to pass.
We also have another reason to celebrate, with our colleague Emily Anderson becoming a fully chartered member of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI).
Emily says:
“I am pleased to say that I have successfully passed my RTPI Assessment of Professional Competence and am now a fully chartered member of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI).
This follows being a Licentiate member for the last two years after I graduated from my Master’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning at The University of Sheffield. During these two years, I have had to keep a log book of all the projects I have worked on, and how these met the competencies set out by the RTPI.
I would like to thank Jon Millhouse and all my other colleagues at Planning & Design Practice for their help and support for this.
Now that I am fully chartered, I hope to continue expanding my planning knowledge by attending a wide range of CPDs, and focusing on planning for health in the future.”
