Dan joined DLA Town Planning in October 2024 as a Geography with Business graduate from the University of Nottingham. This followed a stint of work experience the previous summer where he learnt more about the industry.

He has assisted on many applications through his time with DLA so far, such as proposals for new homes in Hemel Hempstead, planning work for Gerrards Cross Golf Club and appeal statements for proposals in the Green Belt.

Dan began a Degree Apprenticeship in Town Planning at London South Bank university in September 2025 and is looking forward to becoming a chartered planner in the next few years. He also assists with the marketing and social media platforms.
