Joined in 2007 as an Assistant Planner and progressed to Senior in 2010. Working for major developers and retailers (including Tesco) to secure planning permission for development. Providing strategic advice and solutions to the issues caused during planning and pre-development.

Working for the most part in the plan processing department, it gave me a great grounding in Local Authority Planning and understanding of all of the processes involved.

Enabling local authorities use GIS to it's full potential, working on projects and providing tailored advice so that the systems and software could be fully utilised.
