Why choose me
As a planning lawyer, I help housebuilders secure planning permissions and build homes. I work with national and local housebuilders, land promoters and landowners looking to sell land for development.
Developer clients need fast, commercial advice. I take time to understand their business priorities and deliver urgent guidance when needed. Known for excellent client service, I’ve built strong relationships with local authorities, who are the key decision-makers in planning.
I enjoy the practical side of planning law because you can see the results of your work once homes are built.
I advise on section 106 agreements for applications and appeals, affordable housing, pre-acquisition due diligence, highway and infrastructure agreements, Community Infrastructure Levy regulations, biodiversity net gain and nutrient mitigation.
Outside work, I enjoy trips to the beach, keeping up with my three sons and coffee and cake.
