Bidwells' are pleased to announce the introduction of a new Planning Team to their Ipswich office with effect from September 1, 2007.

The team will be headed up by Helen Adcock, who has moved from Bidwells' Norwich office.

The introduction of a permanent planning presence to the office follows a sustained demand for proactive planning expertise, coupled with extensive growth anticipated in and around the Haven Gateway.

The expansion of Bidwells' Planning Team into Ipswich means that there are now more than 40 planners, landscape architects and urban designers within the team - which makes Bidwells' planning team the largest in the Eastern Region.

The planning team are already working on a number of significant projects in the area; including mixed use redevelopment proposals at Stoke Quay and a new university building on behalf of University Campus Suffolk (both of which are located on the Waterfront at Ipswich); the development of a 6.62 hectare site for residential use at Hayhill Allotments in Ipswich and the redevelopment for residential and retail uses of the former Blue Circle Cement Works at Great Blakenham.

John Spice, who is the Partner in charge of Bidwells' Ipswich Office said: "We are delighted to be able to offer our clients this additional service. The introduction of a full time Planning Team to our Ipswich office means that we will be able to provide an even fuller integrated service to clients in the future".
