A Partner at JTP, Josh specialises in residential design across all scales and densities, including large scale strategic communities in sensitive landscape settings, as well as complex urban brownfield sites. In all instances, he seeks to create places that are contextually responsive, memorable and allow happy, healthy communities to flourish.
Josh’s portfolio includes leading the JTP team on Weyside Urban Village, transforming the former sewage treatment works into a thriving 1,500 neighbourhood alongside the River Wey. Phases 1 and 3 have been designed to Passivhaus standards with a range of bespoke housing typologies designed for the client, Guildford Borough Council. Elsewhere he was also Partner for proposals for 200 homes at Bridge End Farm which form part of the wider site that will eventually deliver up to 2,000 homes.
More recently, Josh has led JTP’s work at the Former Wisley Airfield with Taylor Wimpey for the first phase of 459 dwellings ranging from apartments to five-bedroom family homes powered by a low carbon energy centre using heat pump technology. This followed JTP’s earlier design coding work over several years and planning approval in 2025 for the Wisley SANG café and community centre for the surrounding country park – a landmark building that will mark the entrance to the first neighbourhood.
In more urban settings Josh’s experience includes the regeneration of complex brownfield sites such as the former Arthur Street Estate in Erith. Built in the late 1960s, Arthur Street had since fallen into a poor state of repair and suffers with antisocial behaviour. The regeneration of the estate has now created a new high-density neighbourhood that references historic Victorian street patterns and provides new public open space and 320 homes, of which 80% are for affordable rent and shared ownership.
Josh’s other work includes a high-density, new urban quarter at the heart of Woking. The project is focussed around the creation of a new pedestrianised open space in the town centre which is animated by over 26,000sqft of non-residential mixed-uses and 929 new homes arranged across 4 towers of up to 34 storeys. An array of residential facilities have also been carefully curated to address people’s changing behavioural patterns, whilst still allowing the new community to grow and evolve.
Within JTP Josh leads the practice’s innovative housing group and is also one of JTP’s sustainability champions, helping to broaden our collective knowledge and disseminate this shared learning throughout the practice, as we strive to embed sustainability at the heart of every project.
