Assistant Planner Huw’s work involves preparing the full range of material to support planning applications. With a keen interest in heritage, much of his work involves historic and listed buildings in urban as well as rural areas, including those within the Green Belt. This also includes proposals which seek to retain and enhance the historic fabric of buildings whilst balancing new aspects of development to bring buildings either back into use or up to current living standards.
Huw is a strong advocate of successful placemaking and has worked with our team on social housing regeneration schemes in Wiltshire and Gloucester. He also conducts planning research for our individual homes clients, presenting key information about the site and its constraints. Huw also advises on any potential barriers to development and how best to navigate them, helping to ensure a successful outcome for our clients.
After completing a BA in Urban Design, Planning & Development at Oxford Brookes University, Huw gained an MSc in Urban Regeneration with the designated heritage pathway at the Bartlett School of Planning, University College London (UCL). As part of his studies, Huw explored planning practices for urban development in historic cities and neighbourhoods. He also completed substantial research into the conservation of historic and listed railway buildings in London, seeking to enhance the effectiveness of policy in preventing the demolition of railway heritage assets.
Before joining Nash Partnership in 2024, Huw worked at land and measured survey company Atlas Surveys in Newport where he was involved in projects across the residential, commercial, education, utilities and defence sectors. In his role at Nash Partnership, he enjoys working on a range of high-quality projects which make a positive difference to people’s lives, whether they are for existing or prospective residents.
