The Professor of Planning & Environmental Law at the 51cg has been appointed to the Board of Scottish Natural Heritage.
The Secretary of State for Scotland has approved the appointment of Professor Jeremy Rowan-Robinson to the Board of SNH for a three year period starting on 1 April 1998.
Professor Rowan-Robinson - formerly Head of the Department of Land Economy and now with the Faculty of Law - has specific expertise in the legal arrangements governing the use, development and management of the countryside. He is a consultant with Paul and Williamson Solicitors on planning and environmental law matters and is a former legal adviser to the Lake District National Park Authority. He has published widely on the subject of planning and countryside matters.
Professor Rowan-Robinson says:
“The current discussions about access to the countryside, the decision to introduce national parks and the wider debate about land reform make this a particularly interesting time to be involved and I look forward to making a contribution.”
Born in Edinburgh, Professor Rowan-Robinson is a keen hill-walker and has climbed extensively in Britain and abroad.
