Trevor Nicholson

My background is in Property Development, having joined Hamptons International in 2004 as Director of Kent and Thames Gateway and later CBRE London as Director, Head of Placemaking.

Previously as a shareholder of Farmer Internacional SA in Palma, Mallorca, I directed design, funding and sales on an ambitious overseas scheme,102 waterfront apartments project in Betlem, GDV £14m.

Professional experience

My experience of large-scale urban regeneration schemes in SE England and relationships with the DCLG, SEEDA, and English Partnerships has enabled me to establish a valuable in-depth knowledge of the land and new homes market.

I have worked closely with architects and consultants such as Ove Arup, Will Alsop, Glenn Howells, Gardner + Theobalds and Barton Willmore from the early stages on Masterplanning, Residential and Educational Placemaking.

Particularly important in these major housing projects was the early primary and secondary education provision. The developer’s obligation to deliver was typically tied in by the Planning Consent via a Section 106 agreement.
