Carter Jonas, a leading UK property consultancy, has appointed two experts in its Summertown office in Oxford.

Clare O’Hanlon MRTPI has joined its nine-strong Planning & Development team from South Northamptonshire Council where she worked for six years as major projects team leader, specialising in large scale planning applications. Prior to that she spent six years as senior planning officer at Cherwell District Council. She will provide its private and public sector clients with planning permission management and submission, and appeal and general planning advice.

Christopher Rhodes MSc MRICS has joined its 11-strong Rural team as senior surveyor from a regional rural practice firm of surveyors in Wiltshire from where he brings an enormous breadth of rural experience. Christopher will focus on estate management for a retained client in the Cotswolds whilst specialising in rural property asset valuations for private individuals, finance providers and institutions. Christopher’s appointment strengthens an already well established and respected valuation department within the Oxford office.

Mark Charter, head of Carter Jonas’ Oxford office said: “We are bulging at the seams in Mayfield House! We are now more than 75 people working across Commercial, Planning & Development, Residential and Rural. Our clients need us more than ever and with these two recent great appointments, we can continue to give them the best possible advice.”
