Nick is a chartered town planner and development surveyor with over 25 years' experience, gained across the residential, commercial, retail and industrial sectors for corporate, institutional and private landowners and developers. He has worked at CBRE and Drivers Jonas Deloitte. His professional experience is in three main sectors – Strategic Land / Projects, Retail / Mixed-Use and Central London. Strategic Projects / Land involves the promotion of land for commercial and residential development for landowners and developers. Retail / Mixed-Use schemes are a blend of edge of centre and town centre mixed-use schemes with food stores and other uses, often residential. This sector includes regeneration and waterside schemes. Central London focuses on projects from Canary Wharf to Hammersmith and Camden down to Wandsworth, Southwark and Lambeth.
When he isn’t working, Nick can be found playing golf (increasingly badly) and spending time re-stocking and emptying his wine cellar to indulge his passion for wine.
On behalf of L&Q, as well as strategic promoters Cirrus Land and landowner consortium G120, Carter Jonas is leading the promotion of the UK’s largest new garden community.
Working in conjunction with the local authorities across North Essex, as well as their delivery company NEGC Ltd, the delivery team is seeking to deliver a comprehensive planned new settlement under the garden community principles.
L&Q controls land sufficient to deliver approximately 17,000 homes as part of a comprehensive planned garden community, alongside requisite social infrastructure, and employment land. Carter Jonas has been assisting with an evolving strategy that has contended with the Local Plan production process, the potential use of local authority-led development corporations, and the risk of CPO.
