Oxford: Carter Jonas continues to expand

Leading UK property consultancy Carter Jonas has appointed two experts in its Summertown office in Oxford.

Clare O’Hanlon MRTPI has joined its nine-strong planning and 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.  O'Hanlon will provide Carter Jonas' private and public sector clients with planning permission management and submission, as well as appeal and general planning advice.

Christopher Rhodes MSc MRICS has joined the consultancy's 11-strong rural team as senior surveyor from a firm of surveyors in Wiltshire, from which he brings an enormous breadth of rural experience. Rhodes will focus on estate management for a retained client in the Cotswolds while specialising in rural property asset valuations for private individuals, finance providers and institutions.  His appointment strengthens an already well-established and respected valuation department in 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 and 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.”
