Place given to woman, journalist's intended (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

planned

'intended' is the definition.
(planning is a kind of intending)

'place given to woman journalist's' is the wordplay.
'place' becomes 'pl' (abbreviation used in postal addresses).
'given to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'woman' becomes 'ann' (woman's name).
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'pl'+'ann'+'ed'='PLANNED'

(Other definitions for planned that I've seen before include "Intended or designed" , "Thought through in advance" , "Laid out; intended" , "-- 9 dn; -- obsolescence" , "Arranged in advance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
