He has experience in the promotion of large retail, commercial and residential and mixed use schemes advising clients on schemes across England including logistics hubs, retail stores, build to rent (BTR) and other residential development and very large scale brownfield regeneration. He has a specific interest in large, commercial-led development in Central London, including the regeneration of Victoria and various projects across Westminster, Camden and the City of London. Giles has worked on several very large infrastructure schemes under the DCO and other regimes.
