Planning consultant

Fergus Davies

My role at Commercial Shift is a Planning Consultant who works closely with the Head of Planning and the design team.

My daily tasks fluctuate throughout the week making this a rewarding and ambitious role to be in. These daily tasks can include:

  • Preparing and submitting planning applications, appeals and reports

  • Liaising with councils and local authorities on a daily basis

  • Working on feasibility research and planning policy analysis

  • Ensuring project alignment and collaborating with designers

  • Managing a variety of projects throughout the country

  • Using a variety of software and AI tools to create high-quality work

With a diverse background in this sector, I have been involved in the land/planning sector for the past eight years. Before my career pathway, I graduated from the University of East Anglia with a degree in Ecology & Natural Sciences back in 2016.

I have been very fortunate to work on a variety of infrastructure projects throughout the UK over the past few years and have built an excellent portfolio on client contel. Recently I have taken a more pivotal movement towards Planning operations and client strategy.
