Our Plymouth office covers South West Devon and into Cornwall, giving Avalon a genuine local presence across some of the region's most protected landscapes — including the edges of Dartmoor and the South Devon AONB. The team works across planning and heritage advice for developers, landowners and homeowners, with particular strength in agricultural and rural conversions alongside city and coastal projects.

Local planning authorities we regularly work with:

  • Plymouth City Council
  • South Hams District Council
  • Cornwall Council

Jonathan Finch

Jonathan Finch
Planning Director, Plymouth

Jonathan joined the Avalon team in November 2021 bringing with him over 12 years of planning experience gained in both public and private sector, including a long standing role providing strategic planning advice to the Mayor of London. As a chartered planning professional who has worked across a wide-ranging portfolio of development projects, he has extensive experience of working collaboratively and pragmatically with developers, landowners, architects and local authorities to successfully deliver well-designed schemes that optimise planning outcomes.

He joins us from the London office of a national planning consultancy, where, in addition to driving forward complex, residential-led, mixed-use schemes across the capital, he has worked closely with a number of leading Housing Associations and their residents to develop and deliver, long-term estate regeneration proposals of varying scales.
