We have used Simon for many years now. Most recently he played a key part in us obtaining a positive outcome at our appeal for 9 houses in Weyhill, standing up to the questioning of the Inspectorate and the LPA. He is very knowledgeable and always on hand to give advice, highly recommended.

Purpose Social Homes has successfully worked with Simon on numerous Section 106 affordable housing and open market residential development projects, and we have always found him to be knowledgeable, professional and pragmatic. He has a thorough understanding of the planning and development process, communicates clearly, and consistently provides practical, commercially focused advice. Simon is proactive, reliable and a pleasure to work with, and we would have no hesitation in recommending him.

As a planning consultant, working on a wide range of residential projects across the UK, the economic viability of projects has been brought sharply into focus as a result of persistent increases in the cost of building over the past few years. Simon has been on hand to advise throughout these turbulent years, and has a sharp understanding of the ways in which development viability influences and impacts upon planning applications – particularly with regard to the provision of affordable housing.
Over the last couple of years, Simon has advised me on projects ranging from 191 flats in central Portsmouth, through to three houses in the rural South Downs National Park. He has a proven track record of significantly reducing, or indeed removing altogether, affordable housing liability on development projects of all shapes and sizes.
Simon is always happy to pick up the phone and explain things in plain-English – which is invaluable for planners and developers alike.

We have used Simon for many years to assist with viability assessment services on a range of developments, he provides a professional, expedient service with a good knowledge of the development process.
