 I am a specialist planning solicitor with long experience in local government as well as private practice experience.

I am qualified in Scotland, England and Wales and I am ideally placed to advise on the planning aspects of any matter, from residential to renewable energy projects, in England and Wales as well as Scotland.

My role is help you address issues relating to all aspects of the development consenting regime whether that is under the Town and Country Planning Acts or the Electricity Act at the pre application, post application and appeal or further procedure stages. I have experience in the drafting and negotiation of planning obligations, appeals as well as called in and recovered appeals and public inquiries in England and Scotland.
