Simon joined Hankinson Duckett Associates in 2000 after qualifying in London. He has experience of a wide range of projects, including working with Moira on evidence for Inquires into England's two new National Parks. The New Forest Inquiry decision was particularly rewarding, with the Inspector agreeing almost entirely with HDA's recommended National Park boundary. Lately Simon has been carrying out a number of landscape character based capacity studies to a methodology recently developed by HDA, in particular for Districts in West Sussex. These studies form part of the evidence base for each District's LDF and will inform their planning policy.
Simon performs a number of roles within the company. These include overseeing HDA's IT capabilities; design and production of HDA's marketing material, including the website; and recruitment.
