James joined Quod in 2015, having gained valuable experience working for other multi-disciplinary consultancies on a wide variety of planning projects.

James is a Chartered Town Planner (MRTPI), a member of the National Infrastructure Planning Association (NIPA) and is currently working towards full membership of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

He is involved in a wide range of development proposals at Quod, working on logistics, residential and employment led planning schemes, and also has significant experience and expertise in taking a number of Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) through the Development Consent Order (DCO) process.

James holds a master’s degree from the University of Manchester in planning, with a focus in real estate (MPlan).

Outside of work, James is a season ticket holder at Fulham FC, is a keen (perhaps seasonal) runner, and enjoys spending weekends exploring London with friends and family.
