I head up property and planning stakeholder engagement for the south west and the Midlands, in particular for clients who have schemes at the pre-planning application stage. I look after an exciting range of projects, including several which aim to provide much needed housing. Our team works to ensure that clients have the most effective engagement strategy in place from an early stage. Getting the messaging right, and forging positive local relationships, helps secure the best results, not only for clients but also for communities.
