George Machin has been promoted to senior planner at Savills Nottingham, having gained full membership to the Royal Town Planning Institute this month.
He will continue to work with director Nick Grace at the Fletcher Gate property firm.
Since joining Savills in June 2008, Machin has represented a range of clients including institutional landowners, utility companies, plc house builders and private developers.
He obtained planning permission for an 80-unit housing scheme in Kegworth, North West Leicestershire, and a 150,000 sq ft car retail showroom in Derbyshire.
Nick Grace, head of Savills’ Nottingham planning team, said: “George joined Savills at a difficult time in the economic cycle and immediately grasped the need to be focused on our clients’ needs. His knowledge of the local residential market has allowed him to give practical and commercial advice at a time when that focus has been paramount to clients.
“The promotion is thoroughly deserved. There are few planners in Nottingham that are as commercially aware and I believe this sets George apart from the rest.
“George also works closely with the rural, commercial and development teams at Savills Nottingham to ensure our clients get the best advice possible.”
