James Jamieson

James, from Glasgow, graduated in 2007 with a degree in Town & Regional Planning.

He is currently employed as Development Planner for W.A. Fairhurst and Partners, Glasgow. His duties include general development planning work, including submission of planning applications for residential, commercial and industrial proposals throughout Scotland and NE England. His work tasks also involve preparation of Master Plans, design statements, site appraisals, Flood Risk Assessments, landscape work and transport appraisal of possible greenfield land release.

He says, when asked about his time in Dundee: "I really liked the fact that the department was so personable and staff were always approachable. The wide variety of the coursework was excellent and the field trip in Malta was an obvious highlight. Sometimes I wasn't too sure why it was necessary to study some modules but once I started work with Fairhurst it became clear. Overall I enjoyed my time immensely, and look back on it with fond memories!"
