Steven is a Masterplanning and Urban Design Associate Director at MCAU, bringing 17 years of invaluable experience in supporting both public and private sector clients. Prior to joining MCAU, he spent 12 years at Barton Willmore (now Stantec). He has a proven track record of progressing masterplans from concept through to detail and delivery.

Steven has collaborated with many of the UK’s national housebuilders, developers, and government bodies at both national and local levels. As an experienced masterplanner and urban designer, he has led multi-disciplinary teams to shape commercially-minded yet imaginative design proposals.

Steven’s expertise encompasses mixed-use environments, major regeneration projects, employment, and residential developments, including large urban extensions. Key career projects include the residential-led regeneration of several edge-of-city sites such as Pendleton in Salford (approximately 650 homes) and Jackson Brickworks in Manchester (approximately 400 homes). He has also supported Homes England on urban extensions in Runcorn and Preston, and provides creative design solutions that help transform social housing estates across the UK.

As a Chartered Member of the Royal Town Planning Institute, Steven not only prepares technically robust design solutions but also responds closely to the planning policy framework.
