I am a Chartered Town Planner with over 12 years’ experience gained in different public and private sector roles in Edinburgh and the North-East of England. I take great satisfaction in contributing to the success of a diverse range of development projects across residential, mixed-use, infrastructure, educational, and industrial sectors. I am passionate about sustainable development and high-quality design; with a particular interest in how to deliver these within our historic environment.
Collaboration
Securing planning permission relies on excellent collaboration on projects from a wide variety of disciplines, so having so many technical experts in-house at Cundall is invaluable. Our collaborative drive and nature guarantee the best solutions for our clients on projects and major development schemes.
Excellence
I love how excellence is proudly celebrated at Cundall. I have always felt encouraged to develop my skills and explore my interests since I joined. I am currently on the University of York’s Conservation of Historic Buildings postgraduate degree course, which is helping me to specialise my planning expertise and support the team’s reputation for providing excellent advice.
