Supporting your ambitions

Peter helped Dunsfold Airport Limited with the promotion of the first new settlement in Surrey for 100 years.  He used his experience of promoting major developments to help shape the planning strategy for the proposal and then advise throughout the journey of the scheme.  This included a call-in of the application by the Secretary of State and defending the scheme from challenge in the High Court.
