The Chair's Award (presented to an individual who has gone over and above providing support and mentoring in a professional or personal context to others within the planning industry)
Lisa Chandler
Lisa was the Energy Projects Manager at East Suffolk Council and led on both the off-shore wind and Sizewell C NSIP proposals. Lisa tragically passed away suddenly from a stroke on the 24 January this year, aged just 44. Until that day, Lisa offered incredible support to the Head of Planning and the Council on these significant projects. She importantly mentored and assisted her team in providing them with the skills to carry out their roles and continue these projects in her absence.
