Fraser is an Associate at JTP with over eleven years’ experience delivering large-scale mixed-use residential and regeneration projects across the UK and overseas. Over the past decade at JTP, he has led the design and submission of Detailed Planning Applications for more than 5,000 new homes, spanning town centre regeneration, brownfield redevelopment and the creation of new neighbourhoods at a range of densities.
Fraser was project lead for Friary Quarter, a Detailed Planning Application for the regeneration of a major brownfield site in the heart of Guildford, delivered by the Berkeley Group. The scheme comprises 471 new homes, active ground-floor mixed uses, new public streets and spaces, and the refurbishment of Guildford Bus Station. Widely recognised as a catalyst for the wider regeneration of Guildford town centre, the project required close collaboration with key stakeholders and the local authority.
He also led the delivery of Marleigh Phases 2 and 3, providing over 800 new homes as part of a landscape-led masterplan on the edge of Cambridge. Delivered in partnership with Hill Marshall LLP, the scheme focused on creating a healthy, sustainable neighbourhood, responding directly to lessons learned during the pandemic through access to green infrastructure, walkable streets and community-focused placemaking.
Other notable projects include Channels Phases 3 and 5, part of a new neighbourhood in the Essex countryside near Chelmsford. The 240-home scheme took a contemporary interpretation of the Essex barn vernacular and was completed in November 2023, having won a Housing Design Award in 2021. Fraser also played a key role in JTP’s winning entry to The Sunday Times Resilient Home design competition, A Home for All Seasons, which explored integrated responses to climate resilience, flooding, energy generation, thermal comfort and social infrastructure.
More recently, Fraser was project lead for Great North Leisure Park, Finchley, for Arada, a major mixed-use regeneration delivering over 1,500 new homes, ground-floor mixed uses and a new Finchley Leisure Centre with an outdoor lido, creating a new health and wellbeing-led destination for North London.
Fraser brings to every project a passion for creating high-quality, inclusive places rooted in JTP’s core principle of Collaborative Placemaking. Developing a clear narrative and articulating a compelling vision have been central to securing planning approvals across his portfolio.
Alongside his project work, Fraser is Chair of JTP’s EDI Group, helping to promote equality, diversity and inclusion within the practice and the wider construction industry. He is also Chair of LGBT+ Architecture, a charity that advocates for greater visibility, inclusion and support for LGBTQ+ people within the architecture and built environment professions through mentoring, events, research and industry engagement. Fraser mentors emerging architects, is a member of the JTP Pacemakers, ran the London Marathon for Blueprint for All in 2023, and is a registered beekeeper.
