Wain Estates appoints planning manager

Warrington-based strategic land company Wain Estates has appointed Matt Grant as senior planning manager to strengthen its planning team.

Matt brings 12 years’ experience across the public and private sectors and joins from a national housebuilder, where he worked as a planning manager.

In his new role, he will oversee a portfolio of strategic land sites across the UK, supporting landowners through the planning process.

Matt said: “I’m thrilled to be joining the team at Wain Estates during what is an extremely exciting period in the strategic land world. 

“The Government’s reforms to national planning policy have provided what may well be a once in a generation opportunity to boost housing delivery on sustainable sites across the country. 

“I’m looking forward to assisting the business in taking advantage of this opportunity and delivering on its growth targets.”

Wain Estates planning director Neil Lewis added: “Matt’s experience strengthens the team as we continue to grow our strategic land portfolio across the UK. 

“With a strong planning team in place, we’re well positioned to respond to changes in planning policy and work closely with landowners to secure permissions and maximise land value.”
