I work directly with clients, offering bespoke, candid, expert advice to help them navigate complex challenges in the widest range of development scenarios, with optimal strategies to deliver their commercial goals. My approach is hands-on, ensuring that every client benefits from my strategic insight, commercial outlook, and meticulous attention to detail.

I embrace vast experience in investment, development and occupational real estate markets, within the planning legal framework and best practice, always seeking to derisk, and crafting innovative solutions. In short, clients can expect a dependable planning advisory partner, tailored to their unique needs.

With especial expertise in the sophisticated Central London market, I advise accross all key property sectors, including: offices, residential, hotels, retail, leisure, industrial, institutions, and mixed-use developments.

Prior to setting up my practice in 2002, Property Week described me as a “heavy hitter” – reflecting the breadth of high profile development advisory work, including the London 2012 Olympic Delivery Project, disposal of the NHS Estate and a vast array of corporate real estate activity, sharing the burden of client pressures, delivering effective planning solutions, and above all getting results.

I’m robust and responsive. A strong team player. Communicative. Calm. Decisive. I deliver thorough and creative approaches to problem solving.

If you have any development planning scenarios in mind – a concept, potential project, planning problems – please just pick up the phone or email me – I’m there for you!
