"The way to achieve progress in the built environment is through improving people’s quality and enjoyment of life with better homes and workplaces.

Progressive placemaking must commit to an agenda to bring sustainable change and growth and protect what we value about both the built and natural environments.

I want to use my professional skills to make a difference, planning for all our futures.

I feel fortunate to be part of a progressive placemaking movement, working with developers, investors, housebuilders, infrastructure and transport providers and public bodies to deliver change and improve things.”

Stephen is the founder and owner of Sevo, a progressive planning consultancy with a varied portfolio of transformative projects delivered for a purposeful client-base. Working with his dedicated planning team, Stephen leads complex projects including new-build housing, mixed-use regeneration, leisure and retail.
