I wish her well.’Īllan's grade 6 civil service head of architecture post comes with a salary of £63,465 for London-based applicants. He added: ‘Sarah has good experience in previous similar roles including at CABE and I am sure she will give the chief planner and the growing design team within the department additional leadership, expertise and support. Von Bradsky welcomed Allan’s appointment, describing it as ‘continuity for the important role for architectural expertise in the department’.
She added: ‘Having worked for 25 years as an architect, urban designer and project manager in both the public and private sectors, I look forward to using my experience to support the work across central government to deliver beautiful homes and places that are fit for the future, prioritise the government’s net zero ambitions and level up the country.’ The department, formerly known as MHCLG, is also under pressure to align the planning system with the UK’s highly ambitious net zero goals, and to find a lasting remedy to the nation's cladding scandal, which has seen homeowners in apartment blocks hit with crippling bills to remove combustible materials.Īllan said she was ‘thrilled’ by her appointment and ‘excited to continue the department’s work to ensure high-quality design in housing and placemaking’. She is now part of a government department led by a new secretary of state – Michael Gove – who is rethinking its proposed planning reforms after a revolt by Tory MPs and the shock byelection loss of Chesham and Amersham to the Lib Dems, a defeat blamed partly on local concerns over how shake-up would affect the area. Allan replaces von Bradsky, the former chair of PRP, who stepped down in the summer after two years in the job.
