With clients varying from property developers, plc’s, land owners, affordable housing providers, lobby and interest groups to private individuals and householders, Ken has strong opinions about good planning practice and development control and is well known for his straight talking, no nonsense approach.

Planning can be a difficult and frustrating business, however, with their methodology and expertise, Ken and his team of chartered town planning consultants aim to make the journey through the planning process as painless as possible whilst achieving the best results for their clients.
