About Reeve Brown
Who we are
The Reeve Brown team is committed to minimising risks and maximising rewards for every one of our clients and their land.
Our team contains professionals with a uniquely diverse range of skill sets that provides us with the ability to tackle all aspects of the planning and promotion process with unparalleled insight and efficiency.
The team includes Chartered Town Planners, regulated by the RTPI and offering the security of professional indemnified advice from the outset of our discussions with landowners. We work closely with our architectural design partners to ensure our schemes are design led from the earliest stage.
The Reeve Brown team work with a large but closely knit team of specialist sub-consultants to manage report preparation for areas such as ecology and trees.
The planning and development team is led by Jonathan Brown and Sam Lees, both former solicitors who are passionate about delivering outstanding advice to clients. Our approach emphasises the need for sensitive, well-designed and well-planned residential development that enhances the lives of existing and future residents, as well as high quality commercial development to support our business clients. We believe that promoting sustainable and deliverable sites are an important social cause by contributing towards solving the UK housing shortage.
