Consultancy advances north with city centre office launch

National planning, design and development consultancy, Marrons, has opened a new office in Sheffield as part of a strategic expansion into the north of England.
The new team will be based in Cubo, Carver Street, in Sheffield’s city centre.
It will include Megan Wilson, an experienced planning director who has worked across the north of England throughout her career and during her time with Marrons.
She specialises in housing land supply, housing needs and navigating the local plan process.
Wilson will be supporting the allocation of sites through the local plan process and preparing planning applications for residential-led development proposals, including those on complex brownfield sites and land within the green belt.
She said: “We are thrilled to be expanding into Sheffield. This is a fantastic opportunity to bring Marrons’ resources and expertise to South Yorkshire and beyond.
“Sheffield’s growth potential and the increasing demand for housing and development solutions make it an ideal location to launch our northern expansion.”
Also supporting the expansion is planning director Jenny Keen, who brings substantial experience across residential, commercial and retail sectors, with a focus on unlocking greenfield sites, rejuvenating urban areas, and revitalising town centres.
Brian Mullin, head of Marrons, said: “Due to our excellent track record for successful planning applications, we are seeing a growing demand for our services in the north of England.
“Expanding into Sheffield was a logical step to better serve our clients and the public sector.
“We are committed to investing in South Yorkshire and look forward to growing our team and capabilities here.”
