 Derek Scott, the founding Partner, graduated from the Queen’s University of Belfast in 1991 with a First Class Honours Degree in Environmental Planning and in 1992 with a post-graduate Diploma in Town and Country Planning.

Prior to entering private practice in 1996 he served periods of employment with the Planning Service in the Department of the Environment (Northern Ireland), Kilmarnock and Loudoun District Council (now East Ayrshire Council) and Gordon District Council (now Aberdeenshire Council). He is a member of both the Royal Town Planning and Irish Planning Institutes.
