Your Rural Planning Specialists

Her postgraduate training includes a PG Dip in the Conservation of Historic Gardens and Cultural Landscapes, and a Masters degree in the Conservation of Historic Buildings, both from the University of Bath. She is a full member of the Institute of Historic Building Conservation as well as the British Institute of Agricultural Consultants.

Extracurricular activities have included serving on the CLA Policy Committee, and Business and Rural Economy Committee; she chaired the CLA Kent Committee, as well as the CLA’s Planning Working Group and Equestrian Working Group. Judith also served on the Conservation Committee of the Gardens Trust and is a trustee of the Toll Rides Off Road Trust.

Away from work, Judith has never grown out of ponies and this four-legged addiction has led to all sorts of interesting ramifications including breeding sports horses (yet to win Badminton), riding as much as possible including some competing, and trail hunting.

Judith is a passable cook (we all like eating at The Rural Planning Practice), loves walking with her dogs, and continues to lust after a doctorate on a topic related to the Enclosure Acts and their economic and visual impact.

Jo enjoys using the latest in computer technology to achieve her clients’ goals, whether these relate to private homes and leisure facilities or commercial operations, such as agriculture and equestrian businesses.

Christina lives in rural Gloucestershire with her family and menagerie of animals including horses, dogs, chickens, and bees. Away from work, as well as being a taxi driver to her three children, Christina enjoys riding and is lucky to have some amazing countryside to explore on her doorstep. Having grown up on the island of Anglesey, she likes to return to the coast whenever possible and enjoys most water sports.

She is also a member of her local amateur dramatic group, taking to the stage when she can (but is unlikely to win an Oscar anytime soon). Christina also enjoys trips to the theatre to see how the professionals do it.

Sascha is client focused and commercially aware and particularly enjoys providing high quality planning advice and good customer service to a range of clients including householders, landowners, developers, local authorities and housing associations.

She has lived in Kent all her life and is perfectly placed to understand the specific needs and aspirations of clients in the area and to find planning solutions to meet these.

Sascha has been a chartered member of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) for over ten years and has supported many planning graduates in gaining their professional accreditation and finds this aspect of the job particularly rewarding.

Away from work, Sascha enjoys renovating houses, entertaining family and friends and walking in the countryside.
