Anna
Russell-Smith is a Partner specialising in Planning

Anna has 10 years experience in planning and development across London and the South East. Since joining Montagu Evans she has become both a Chartered Surveyor and Town Planner, allowing her to provide commercially focused planning advice to deliver complex and challenging development projects.

Anna works with both private and public sector clients on a wide range of instructions, each with its own unique opportunities and challenges. Anna’s role is not only to be part of and work with the wider design team but also to project manage the planning process to provide her clients with advice which balances planning risk against the programme and financial pressures.

Anna’s responsibilities include strategic planning strategy advice, the co-ordination of project teams, reviewing and inputting into design development, preparation and submission of planning applications and appeals, day-to-day management of projects, negotiation of legal agreements, advising on planning strategies for the implementation of schemes and proactive engagement with interested parties.
