Planner goes client-side to Story Homes

Housebuilder Story Homes has hired from Indigo Planning to help boost its land acquisition capacity in the North West.

Siobhan Sweeney has joined the land and planning team at Story’s headquarters at Ackhurst Business Park in Chorley, as part of an ongoing recruitment drive.

Story Homes currently has eight sites underway in the region across Central Lancashire, Fylde, South Lakes, Ribble Valley, Lancaster and Wyre.

Sweeney said: “The business is in a strong position with substantial plans mapped out for the future, and acquiring the right sites is crucial to ensuring the business continues to grow.

“I am looking forward to getting stuck into project managing sites that are already going through the planning process and seeing houses delivered.

“Having become very familiar with Story Homes I am very pleased to be working for the company. The homes are of a very high quality, offering much more than your standard new property, and the business has a great ethos.”

Sweeney is one of nine new members of staff to have recently taken up positions at the Chorley office.
