A planning consultancy with a base in Norwich has increased its team by more than a third, as well as opening new offices in London and Cambridge this year.

Lanpro has added 11 new recruits to its team in 2018, who will be working on town planning, urban design and landscape architecture.

Ian Douglass, head of planning, said: 'We are pleased to welcome our newest recruits who bring with them a wealth of experience and knowledge to support the business. As a specialist firm of planners and designers it's important we continue to offer the very best service within our field.

'By strengthening our workforce it means we can continue to grow the business as we have done over the last 10 years.'

The business now has 35 people on the payroll, with offices also in Colchester, Retford and York.

Its Norwich office is based at Brettingham House in Pottergate.
