Beacon now open in London
Beacon Planning, one of the country's leading heritage planning consultancies, opened a London Office on 3 January 2012. Over the past few years Beacon has worked in London and the Home Counties on a wide range of projects, from major redevelopment sites to private houses. We also have excellent links with developers, architects and project managers in the capital and opening an office seems to be a logical way to better serve our clients.
The Director of the London office is Lee Melin, a planner with experience of working for major consultancies in the capital (Turleys and RMJM) and, until recently, the head of the planning team in the Chelmsford office of Bidwells. The London office will offer the full range of Beacon services in an integrated and coordinated way to deliver successful outcomes.
