Professor Emeritus of Town and Regional Planning
- Profile
-
I am Emeritus Professor of Town & Regional Planning and the former Senior Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University when, for a nine year term, I was responsible for academic planning, HR and capital projects, a position to which I was appointed after serving as Head of Town & Regional planning (the department's former name) and also as the Head of the Department of Landscape.
Over the last four decades I have had a large research programme on the supply side of the private rented housing sector and the use of the planning obligations to secure affordable housing, infrastructure and capture land value. My work has received research grants of over £3.5m and I have over 250 publications including books, research reports, journal articles and other output.
My latest book, co-authored with the late Professor John Henneberry and Professor Christine Whitehead (LSE), Planning Gain, was published in 2016 and won the RTPI Award for Research Excellence. A recent paper co-authored with Professor Christine Whitehead 'Capturing development value, principles and practice: why is it so difficult?' (in Town Planning Review, 90(4), 2019) won the Sir Peter Hall award for research with an impact on public policy.
I am also very active in the world of policy and practice which brings me into close contact with policy makers in the public, private and not for profit sectors in housing and planning. I am currently a member of: the Royal Town Planning Institute’s (RTPI) Trustee Board and Chair of its Education and Life Long Learning Committee; a member of the board of the Architects Registration Board; Chair of the Construction Industry Council’s Housing Panel and a council member of the Academy of Social Sciences.
In past years I have been Chair of The Conservation Volunteers (one of UK’s major green charities); Deputy Chair of the Orbit Housing Group (one of the UK's largest not for profit provider of affordable homes), a director of Orbit Homes Ltd, of the Board of Trustees of Shelter ( the national housing and homelessness charity), independent chair of the review of governance of Rotherham council (appointed by the Commissioners on behalf of the Secretary of State), Trustee of the Coalfields Regeneration Trust (which is funded by the UK governments to secure economic and social regeneration of the former coalfields), Chair of Sheffield Homes Ltd, an independent member of the board of the National Tenant Voice, Chair of the RTPI Accreditation Board, a member of the National Housing Federation’s National Council, Chair of South Yorkshire Housing Association, Chair of the RTPI Housing Panel, a member of the RTPI Research Committee, and Chair of ConneXions South Yorkshire.
My overseas experience includes research, teaching, and expert advice in China, South East Asia, and North America. I also helped establish the South East Europe Research Centre (a joint initiative of the University of Sheffield and CITY College Thessaloniki) and chaired its Steering Group.
I was appointed CBE in the 2014 New Year's Honours List for services to housing and the governance of charities. I was elected a Fellow of the RTPI in 2001 in recognition of my distinguished contribution to planning research. In 2004 I was elected as a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in recognition of my standing as a social scientist and my contribution to public policy. The RTPI honoured me with its Distinguished Service Award in 2021. The University of Sheffield conferred the honorary degree of DLitt on me in 2013 in recognition of my research and public service.
