Scott Wilson acquires Llewelyn-Davies masterplanning & urban design team

A 12-strong team that previously formed the “core” of Llewelyn-Davies' planning and urban design practice has joined Scott Wilson. The acquisition will bolster Scott Wilson's existing development services division. Commenting on the move, Scott Wilson's group managing director for UK and Ireland, Jerome Munro-Lafon said: “The team has been closely involved in shaping UK government planning and design policy over the last 20 years... The new team’s cutting edge reputation is therefore in line with Scott Wilson’s recent shortlisting for the RTPI’s Planning Consultancy of the Year.” The 12 new additions will be based in London and Belfast and will be led by Dr Patrick Clarke, along with two senior directors, Simon Gray and Ben Castell.
