Planning and Approvals capabilities in high demand
MRA’s Planning and Approvals team is going from strength to strength.
“With the introduction of the PoEO (Waste) Regulation changes in late 2014, we have seen a surge in clients seeking to ensure their regulatory house is in order. We have successfully completed a number of development and licence applications for new and existing waste businesses over the last 12 months”, said Sheelagh Laguna, MRA’s Planning and Approvals Manager.
In order to support the increasing client need for planning services, MRA has recently appointed David Schumacher as Senior Environmental Consultant. David is an expert planning consultant with seven years experience in environmental assessment and project management.
“David’s experience and drive are a great asset to our team as we expand our client offering in the regulatory space”, said Sheelagh.
