Partner at Barton Willmore LLP, the UK's largest independent planning and design practice, focusing upon developments across the South of England and Wales.Planning is the creation of places, the delivery of new communities, small or large. The common focus upon "process" wholly misses the point - it is merely a means to an end - the end being a place where people can live, work, enjoy and thrive. So ..... Keeping your eye on the place to be created ..... why it is needed ..... what problems it resolves ..... what opportunities it creates ..... and ultimately pride in creating something real and changing peoples lives for the better.
