Isabelle Adaway

Senior Planning Consultant


Having always lived in Kent, I am passionate about securing high-quality development locally, which positively contributes to the area and its surroundings.

I joined Hobbs Parker’s Planning Team with over eight years of professional experience working as a Planning Officer in the Planning Departments of two Kent-based Local Planning Authorities. My time in the public sector was spent working within Planning Policy, Development Management and Strategic Applications teams. These roles enabled me to build up an extensive knowledge of the local area and provided an opportunity to work on a variety of projects, including residential, commercial, retail, and educational schemes.

Alongside working, I studied Property and Planning at the University of Westminster and graduated back in 2020.

Outside of work, you’ll find me spending time with family and friends, playing badminton and attempting the occasional bit of baking!
