Cindy is an Associate at JTP with over 19 years of experience delivering residential, mixed-use and masterplanning projects across the UK. She has particular expertise in early-stage promotion and vision work, creating clear, compelling narratives that shape the identity and long-term success of places. Her work spans local plan promotions through to Outline and Detailed Planning Applications.
Her legacy projects include Dickens Yard, Ealing, a high-density mixed-use urban quarter of 700 homes, which has since become a vibrant and integral part of the town centre. Cindy’s long-term masterplanning experience includes Kings Barton, Winchester, a five-phase development delivering 2,000 homes. Over the past decade, she has overseen several phases, including mixed-use elements such as a food store, community centre, nursery and public house that form the heart of the neighbourhood. Cindy has also worked on the award-winning Weyside Urban Village Phase 1, Guildford for Guildford Borough Council, delivering 81 Passivhaus-standard homes within a landscape-led framework of connected green spaces and pedestrian-focused routes.
Cindy has extensive experience in residential refurbishment, including the award-winning St Clement’s Hospital in Bow, a former workhouse infirmary and the UK’s first urban Community Land Trust (CLT). The scheme delivers over 200 homes within a sensitive setting of Grade II listed buildings, creating a sequence of public spaces and new pedestrian routes through the historic workhouse gardens. She also led the Detailed Planning Application for the refurbishment of the Village Centre at Fort Halstead, a former military site with a Grade II listed building adjacent to a historic Fort, where the design celebrates innovation while reflecting the site’s military heritage.
More recently, Cindy has focused on greenbelt and greybelt applications. She has led the successful greenbelt planning approval for Little Chalfont Park, Buckinghamshire, providing up to 380 homes alongside retirement living, care facilities, a primary school and a community hub set within a generous Valley Park. She also led JTP’s first greybelt planning approval at Hill Farm, Kings Langley, delivering 150 homes with over 50% affordable housing, extensive public open space and a minimum 10% biodiversity net gain. A key component of this project was the integration of an alternative educational facility, responding to the needs of children who face challenges in traditional learning environments. She has also led the recent submission of Bournes Green, a greybelt application in Southend-on-Sea delivering 2,000 new homes. The masterplan includes a new public park, the largest of its kind in Southend, forming the green heart of a comprehensively planned new neighbourhood with strong connections to the wider town.
Cindy currently supports JTP’s Health and Wellbeing Working Group, established in response to RIBA 2030, Architects Declare and the Climate and Biodiversity Emergency, focusing on the creation of healthy homes and communities. Her wider research interests include food resilience, exploring how neighbourhood design can address food poverty through community growing spaces, orchards, and shared indoor facilities such as community kitchens.
