Expert Witness
James has acted as Expert Architectural Design Witness at Planning Inquiries, Compulsory Purchase Inquiries, Negligence and Copyright Examinations. He has acted for major housebuilders, developers and for private individuals to help unlock complex and difficult planning situations so that development can take place.
James will always start forensically examining the situation to see if an appropriate and cost-effective alternate solution can be found, only going to Inquiry as a last resort. Often an impasse has been reached in the planning process which with a fresh input, can be overcome. Sometimes an Inquiry cannot be avoided, and James is highly experienced in preparing and giving evidence clearly and concisely.
