Henry Adams extends Planning team

Henry Adams LLP has appointed Zachariah Denton who joins its planning team alongside Peter Cleveland and Ellie White.

Zac brings over four years of experience working at Arun District Council’s planning department and is currently undertaking an Apprenticeship at London South Bank University to become a Chartered Town Planner.

The Henry Adams planning team is based at their Chichester offices where they operate alongside the company’s specialist teams in development land, valuation, agricultural and commercial property, as well as residential & new homes sales. 

“I initially chose a career in planning as it’s an expanding sector with dynamic and interesting work,” said Zac Denton, Planner at Henry Adams. “The right opportunity opened up at Henry Adams where the planning section is growing rapidly.

“There’s a wide variety of applications with so much happening, so no two days are the same. As a result the work is very varied and since joining Henry Adams I’ve enjoyed everything so much. I’m looking forward to building on my planning experience and to getting involved with the huge variety of projects while supporting the planning team here.”

Peter Cleveland, Partner & Head of Planning at Henry Adams, said, “We are delighted to welcome Zac to the team. His experience at Arun District Council and his understanding of the local area will be invaluable to the team and our clients.”

Henry Adams has previously appointed apprentices to their specialist departments, including Chris Locke who joined the company in September 2016 to undertake an apprenticeship in town planning. Chris now works within the successful development land team as a land manager. 

Peter added, “We are working on a number of significant projects and are aiming to submit applications for up to 1800 homes across the region over the next 12 to 18 months. The support of an experienced and enthusiastic planner like Zac will enable us to continue to provide our high level of service to each of our clients and their forthcoming projects.”

Zac lives just along the coast in Worthing and when he’s not working or studying, he enjoys the outdoor life of hiking and running, and is a keen motorsports fan. He can be reached on 01243 533633, 07557 511112, or via email on planning@henryadams.co.ukand zac.denton@henryadams.co.uk.
