What should you expect?
MY APPROACH
- Clear and realistic advice - If I don't think the prospects of delivering your aspirations are very good then I will make this clear from the outset;
- Pro-activity - I will keep you regularly updated; you shouldn't have to call me to find out what's going on;
- Commercial awareness - As I've worked for developers, I fully appreciate the importance of keeping costs down;
- Opportunistic - I will always look for opportunities to optimise development/site values;
- Attention to detail - The 'devil is in the detail', so it's important to get it right.
Persistence - When dealing with local authorities you can often get stonewalled by the case officer, so it's important to be persistent; taking any issues to a higher-level, if necessary, to avoid costly delays.
