She has provided planning advice for a wide range of clients including J Sainsbury, Commonwealth Institute, British Red Cross, Marsh, Leicester University and Mitchells & Butler (formerly Bass).

She prepares detailed statements in support of development proposals as well as Design and Access Statements which are required to accompany most types of applications. Sally also addresses Planning Committee meetings on behalf of clients and undertakes negotiations with officers of the Council, including Section 106 obligations. Where appropriate, she acts on behalf of third parties in respect of development proposals.
