Keeley Mitchell

Keeley joined the planning industry within the public sector, and has developed her career producing local planning policies. In 2020, Keeley co-founded the Neurodiversity in Planning network, to raise acceptance of neurodiversity within the planning industry, and to raise awareness among planners and other related industry professionals on the impact the built environment has on neurodivergent people, and as a result, the importance of considering neurodiversity when designing and planning for new places. Since the network was founded, Keeley has been involved with a number of planning events and supported the development of resources and guidance, with the aim of promoting inclusive placemaking and increasing the positive outcomes this can have on neurodivergent people.
