Architectural firm Broadway Malyan has launched a UK planning consultancy called Nexus Planning.
The new consultancy has a 20-strong team of planners and regeneration experts based in central London, Manchester and Weybridge, UK.
It is led by current Broadway Malyan director and head of planning Roger Tustain. Director of planning Adam Ross and director and UK residential design expert Peter Crossley will join Tustain on the board.
Tustain and Crossley will remain main board directors of Broadway Malyan.
Nexus Planning will operate independently from parent company Broadway Malyan but both will work in partnership on some projects.
Tustain said: “Independence will enable us to focus on developing a broader and deeper service offering across a wider range of sectors, while continuing to work alongside Broadway Malyan in the context of the government’s housing growth agenda and town centre regeneration initiatives, which require high levels of design expertise.”
The team recently secured planning permission for an £80m mixed-use town centre regeneration scheme in Northwich (pictured), including a cinema and supermarket on behalf of Cheshire west and Chester council.
