EXPERIENCE
Pauline’s training in natural sciences, and her early experience of urban river valley planning and large scale land reclamation whilst working for Greater Manchester Council, has underpinned a career in which she has successfully worked for a wide range of clients on increasingly large scale development plans and landscape masterplanning.
Whilst working as consultant to the Highways Agency she was responsible for the client’s quality control of landscape impact assessments for trunk road and motorway schemes undertaken in accordance with Highway Agency guidance.
In 1989-90 Pauline successfully provided landscape planning and expert witness services for clients promoting the new settlement project in Cambridge (Cambourne). Pauline then had particular responsibility for landscape strategy and planning liaison for our Cambourne clients, producing a number of strategic documents including: The Cambourne Landscape Structure Plan, Landscape concepts for Cambourne, and Landscape Management Options for Cambourne.
Since 1989 Pauline has regularly prepared and presented expert landscape evidence to Planning Appeals, Local Plan, UDP and LDF Inquiries on environmentally sound site planning for new developments, including housing, business, landfill and mineral extraction sites. Since 2001 she has increasingly been appointed to coordinate multi- disciplinary teams preparing masterplans, planning applications, and environmental statements, offering our clients considerable skills in project management.
Throughout her career, Pauline has maintained links with the world of landscape education, through studio teaching and examining. She has fulfilled the role of External Examiner for the Undergraduate course at Leeds Metropolitan University (1993-1997), for the Diploma year at Sheffield University (1998-2003), and the postgraduate courses at Newcastle University in 2004.
