The Legal Services Board (LSB) has brought in a former chief executive of Cheshire and Kent County Councils, Sir Michael Pitt to succeed David Edmonds CBE as chairman when his second term expires on 30 April 2014.
Pitt joins from the Planning Inspectorate, the executive agency of the UK’s Department for Communities and Local Government. The agency was formed in April 2012 on the abolition of the Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC), of which Pitt was chair, and he was named chief executive of the Planning Inspectorate on its formation.
