I am currently undertaking my placement year with P&DG as part of my MPlan Urban Planning degree at Loughborough University.

I first joined the team for work experience in January 2025, returning to gain more in-depth, hands-on experience with live projects.

Since starting my placement, I’ve supported the team across a variety of projects, from change of use applications to commercial sites and master planning. This has given me the chance to apply my academic knowledge in practice, learn from colleagues, and begin to shape my own interests as a future planner, particularly around heritage, sustainability and land promotion.

My input into these applications is varied and helps to aid my growth and understanding further. This may range from monitoring applications that are awaiting approval or support on elements of an application. This wider variety of work allows me to continuously learn and apply my knowledge.
