I was delighted to welcome back Paul Higgs to the Rodcast.

Paul was last on the Rodcast in 2020 on episode 15. If you have not listened to it please give it some of your time as it discusses Paul's amazing career from being Head of Land at Barratt Homes (The UK's biggest House builder) to his own business. https://shows.acast.com/rodcast/episodes/paul-higgs-development-land-and-planning

Biophilic design and why it is important.

Common mistakes developers make.

Managing expectations of timeframes on development deals.
