Nina Pindham Appears on Front Cover of The Planner Magazine
Cornerstone Climate, Planning and Environment, Public Law and Judicial Review
We’re proud to share that leading environmental and planning barrister Nina Pindham has been featured on the front cover of the May/June 2025 edition of The Planner, the official magazine of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI).
The in-depth feature, titled “The owl and the barrister”, offers a rare insight into Nina’s journey from her wild and nature-filled upbringing in Nova Scotia to becoming one of the UK’s most respected voices in planning and environmental law.
Written by journalist Simon Wicks, the six-page spread covers everything from Nina’s early influences – growing up with a meteorologist father and a veterinarian mother – to her passion for biodiversity net gain (BNG) and her newly published book on the subject, A Practical Guide to Biodiversity Net Gain.
The cover image, featuring Nina with a barn owl, perfectly captures her natural affinity with the environment – an image as striking as it is symbolic of her career-long commitment to sustainable planning and environmental integrity.
