Nigel joins tor&co’s expanding Bristol office and team of architects. With a deep interest in place making, gained over many years in the industry, Nigel brings a wealth of practice, delivery and regional experience across Bristol and the South West.
“I am delighted to be working with tor&co at this exciting stage in its history, especially as it also involves contributing to the success of projects across all of the offices.”
Making sure that housing projects foster strong, healthy and sustainable places is our priority, so today tor&co is proud to launch its New Communities Credentials.
For more than 40 years, we have been a leader in planning and designing new communities. We promote and masterplan new settlements, the growth of existing towns and the regeneration of urban neighbourhoods. Around 96% of our planning applications in this sector win approval.
From inception to delivery, from initial site appraisal to environmental statements, landscape and heritage assessments and design codes, we turn constraints into opportunities and local concerns into understanding. Have a closer look at tor&co’s communities work
Our journey to deliver successful outcomes for clients takes another step forward with the board’s appointment of leading planning professional Simon Prescott as chairman.
A charted town planner and advocate for spatial planning, Simon joins following the opening of our new Bristol office and at a time of renewed national and local focus on strategic planning, housing delivery and placemaking.
His appointment reunites him with managing director Jacqueline Mulliner. Simon and Jacqueline first studied town planning at the University of the West of England in Bristol.
“This is a great time to join tor&co,
“The team has a strong track record, great clients and a clear commitment to supporting partners committed to vibrant places and sustainable growth.”
A track record of success
Simon brings more than 30 years’ experience in strategic planning, land promotion and development to his new role. He spent 17 years at Barton Willmore, serving as equity partner between 2009 and 2022. He has led major regeneration schemes across the region, including urban extensions at Taunton, the former Cadbury site in Keynsham, and Bath’s Foxhill redevelopment.
“Simon brings valuable experience and knowledge at a time when places across the country need good planning and thoughtful design more than ever,” added Jacqueline.
“His appointment reflects our commitment to helping clients succeed by securing and delivering sustainable development and building on our track record.”
