quality in conservation and urban design

I was commissioned by the Northwest and Northeast Regional Development Agencies to conceptualise, plan and market their regional design reviews. I was also pivotal in setting up the Northwest centre for design excellence, Places Matter!

I am a member of the Integreat Yorkshire and North Staffs design review panels.

I work with local authority officers and scheme architects in assessing development proposals; helping to ensure designs are high quality, locally apppropriate and welcomed by the local planning authority. Together we look at all aspects of design that are included in the design and access statement, including layout, plan form, appearance, movement, access, landscape and community safety. I offer one-off support on major schemes or a regular service at a discounted rate.
