David Scane is a Director in the SEC Newgate Local Advocacy team heading up the Housing and Local Planning team.

 

With over a decade’s experience of planning and development communications, David has led the communications on projects from skyscrapers in Surrey, to cemeteries in the London Green Belt, from floating homes in Sussex to logistics hubs in the Midlands, and from mansions in Hampshire to petrol stations in Somerset.

 

During his career, David has regularly appeared in the industry press providing his thoughts on the topics of the day. He has appeared on live television, taking part in topical debates and has moderated lively SECNewgate panel discussions.

 

Throughout his career, David has demonstrated his ability as a strong public speaker when addressing large rooms of people (often to audiences opposed to development).

 

His long experience means that he fully grasps both sides of the arguments on Green Belt development and would pose as a challenging but fair moderator of the discussion to generate lively debate.
