Matt Fox
Senior Associate
Matt advises public and private sector organisations on all consenting matters for large scale energy and infrastructure projects, working from inception to delivery to ensure that such projects are consentable, fundable and deliverable.
Matt assists clients in securing consents that will meet their desired objectives for a project.
Starting with advising on appropriate consenting strategies, utilising his experience on projects across the range of different available planning regimes in the UK, Matt works with project teams to advise on consultation strategies, stakeholder engagement, project development matters and ensuring that application documentation (and the approach to key issues within them) is robust and able to survive the scrutiny of the planning process.
Matt also has significant experience in guiding projects through examination and inquiry processes, with particular experience in the Planning Act 2008 process, working on some of the largest projects in the UK, with his current focus particularly on projects seeking to deliver the transition to Net Zero.
Matt’s practice also includes assisting on project delivery, advising on the interface between the consenting and contracting processes.
