A little about me........ Bill Cotton MRTPI
​
I'm passionate about creating amazing places for people. With over thirty years in the business, I have been fortunate to have gained experience in all aspects of Placemaking - from Planning, Transport and development, through to Economic development, Visitor economy, Cultural development, Climate change action and the Environment. I've worked as a Place Director for the last Twelve years in Oxfordshire and Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole. I've delivered big projects and led wide-ranging Place directorates.

Services
I offer a personal and bespoke service - helping you overcome your current challenge.
Developers
I can help get your project "over the line" with the Planning Authority - by undertaking a review of key barriers to success and how they can be overcome. I take a "tough love" approach to identify the changes which will make the difference.
Place makers
Have you thought enough about how your project adds value to the local community, to the local economy and to the environment? Community investment plans, credible climate change action and social inclusion proposals will make the right impact.
Change makers
Developing a new concept or project? Writing a funding bid? Setting up a new organisation or public-private partnership? Let me bring my experience, connections and energy to help maximise opportunities.
Place Directors
Could you use an extra pair of hands?
A major project which needs mobilising?
A service review that needs undertaking?
A tricky regeneration problem which needs unlocking?
Place professionals
Would you value a "critical friend" to help review your priorities, projects and people? Lets create thinking time, clarity and decisive action.
Chief Executives
Do you need an experienced Place Director to step in for a few weeks or months to maximise opportunities for your Place, mentor the team and help recruit a permanent hire?
