Mark is a former Chief Planning Officer and now leads his own independent planning consultancy, Silverback Planning Solutions. Known for his pragmatic approach, Mark focuses on finding workable solutions within complex planning contexts, drawing on a deep understanding of how local planning authorities assess and determine applications. Working alongside The Architect Studio, he helps shape clear, robust planning strategies and is particularly valued for his ability to translate complex planning arguments into clear, persuasive advice.
