Having been an integral member of the planning team that secured permission for a major greenbelt development for one of the UK's largest banking institutions, Mark has an enthusiasm for planning and all the challenges it presents - both urban and rural.
It is no exaggeration that gaining the right planning permission can be a life-changing experience for some clients and when you are involved with multi-million pound developments, the pressure is on. Mark's experience at the sharp end of planning spans economic development, tourism, heritage, residential and more.
As Head of our Scotland planning team, he leads on some ground-breaking projects to release economic and employment potential, as well as embracing sustainable development and green growth areas.
