Katie has an aptitude for solving problems. She loves to challenge herself with complex or nuanced sites that might, at first glance, look to have the odds stacked against them, like a Green Belt allocation or a tricky planning history.
Her knack for detail and interest in case law means she’s always hot on the latest changes to planning law and regulations – and we know it changes a lot.
Katie’s experience spans the sectors, though her particular passion is for education projects. A chartered town planner (MRTPI), she is diligent, responsive and passionate about planning, managing planning applications of varying scale and complexity through to determination and beyond. She manages large multi-disciplinary teams and takes a collaborative approach with clients and others – clients often report that Katie feels like an extension of their own team.
Katie is currently working remotely from Perth, Australia, so has become an expert at thinking eight hours behind when on Teams calls to the UK and shifting her working day to match.
When she returns to the UK she anticipates that she’ll miss her morning dog walks and sea swims with the “pod squad”. The dog walks will, of course, continue. Perhaps she’ll keep up the open swimming in the brisk Irish Sea, too. We’ll have to wait and see.
