Nottingham planning consultancy Locus joins Marrons

A Nottingham planning consultancy has become part of the Marrons group.

Heritage specialist Locus has joined the Midlands, London and South West-based planning, design and development consultancy, adding a new service line to its portfolio.

Locus is made up of a four-strong team that specialises in planning connected with the historic environment.

Projects it has worked on include the conversion and extension of a Grade II listed former hospital and church into luxury apartments in Lincoln, and archaeological assessments for a 93-unit housing scheme in North East Derbyshire and a seven storey student scheme in Nottingham.

The Locus team is made up of heritage partner Adam Partington, principal heritage planner Tom Street, senior heritage planner Robert Templar and assistant heritage planner Brixie Payne, and the office will work under the Marrons brand.

Adam Partington, who leads the team, said: “We are really excited to be joining our colleagues at Marrons.

“The merger will augment the design and planning service already offered by Marrons, to create a multi-disciplinary team that offers our clients a truly integrated service when planning with heritage assets.”

Marrons – which is part of legal and professional services group Ampa, which includes Shakespeare Martineau – recently announced it was now offering architectural services, with the addition of a new team in Bristol.

Marrons head Brian Mullin said: “We are delighted to welcome Adam and his team to Marrons.

“We have been working successfully with this team on many projects for several years and Locus’ reputation for expert advice and excellent client service strongly aligns with Marrons.

“Adam and his team bring a depth of expert knowledge towards supporting our clients in complex planning matters.”
