Head of Cambridge planning, Andy Moffat and a management group will oversee the department, while the team continues to operate from its Cambridge and Chelmsford offices, as well as those in Norwich, Peterborough and Lincoln.

“In reality our teams already worked very closely together – but the merger allows us to fully utilise the skills and experience we have at our disposal and gives us the best platform to make the most of the opportunities that face the region,” said Andy.
