Property consultancy Montagu Evans has appointed specialist Scottish adviser Nick Haynes as partner in its historic environment and townscape team.

Nick was deputy head of listing at Historic Scotland (now Historic Environment Scotland) where he worked for 15 years before establishing his own consultancy. He is also a well-respected author, having published a number of books specialising in Scottish architecture.

At Montagu Evans, he will spearhead the partnership’s heritage consultancy activity in Scotland, as part of its Scottish planning team – one of the largest in the country – to provide commercially focused heritage and townscape advice on a wide range of planning and development projects.

At the same time, he will work with the firm’s 25-strong Historic Environment and Townscape team across the rest of the UK, helping to bring forward major projects.

Nick is the second senior hire for the team so far in 2022, with James Keogh, previously urban design principal at the Greater London Authority.
