With over 25 years in the sector, he has gained a deep understanding of the technical, regulatory and contextual challenges that shape successful housing delivery.
He brings strong cross‑sector knowledge and commercial awareness; working closely with local authorities, developers, operators and housebuilders to align design ambition with value and deliverability. Colin offers strategic insight into how design decisions affect viability, programme and long‑term operational performance.
As a commercial lead across HTA, Colin ensures projects meet client objectives while navigating wider sector constraints. His pragmatic leadership balances design quality with practical outcomes, housing strategy, delivery and policy.
At Greenford Quay in Ealing, Colin led a multidisciplinary team to secure planning permission for a 2,000-home build-to-rent neighbourhood in a single application. At Meridian Water, he played a key role in shaping proposals for the first phases of the 10,000-home scheme, delivering approximately 300 homes in Phase 1A and obtaining detailed consent for Phase 1B, which includes 700 homes alongside commercial and community spaces.
