I am an experienced economist, specialising in economic impact assessment and business cases for new developments, settlements and infrastructure. I am a expert in Green Book compliant economic case making. I’ve written business cases for Freeports, bids for Levelling Up Fund, assured Towns Fund business cases, evaluated Community Renewal Fund project, and prioritised funding for the Shared Prosperity Fund. I have also led businesses cases for devolved funding (North Wales Growth Deal) and the NHS.I have worked on the social/economic case for Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (Heathrow Expansion, Lower Thames Crossing and London Resort), town centre regen schemes (including Lewisham Shopping Centre and Battersea Power Station), new settlements / urban extensions (Cambridge East) and individual sites (including office, residential, Private Rented Sector (PRS), hotel and leisure schemes, and mixed-use developments). I have specific expertise in economic appraisal of transport infrastructure and how it changes potential patterns of development. I have written economic assessments / business cases for proposed transport infrastructure in both the UK and abroad. This includes the impact of station location on the economic case for HS2 in the UK (including Stoke-on-Trent, Leeds and Sheffield), as well as transport infrastructure in Toronto, Auckland, Sydney and Scandinavia. I have a detailed understanding of Government Appraisal and Guidance, including Green Book, Magenta Book, WebTAG and MHCLG (now DLUHC) Appraisal Guidance.
