Stephen has spent his entire professional career in conservation and historic buildings, in both the public and private sectors of the profession. He worked for the precursor of English Heritage prior to joining the Frizzell Partnership, which he took over in the 90’s. Known as a pragmatic and tenacious problem solver, he has dealt with many complex and sensitive issues in conservation, from delicate and highly specialised repairs, through to new build additions on sensitive sites, conservation area appraisals, legislation and planning matters, and matters in relation to major regeneration and development.
