In his time at Bromley Council he was involved in a range of town centre renewal projects, planning policy development and the preparation and adoption of Development Plan Documents for the planning authority.

As well as managing his own individual case load, Joe has also coordinated the project team in a number of larger scale, more complex projects including urban extensions.
