He has experience of both promoting and objecting to major infrastructure projects, particularly rail, electricity and harbour projects under different consenting regimes. This includes development consent orders (DCOs), transport and works act orders (TWAOs) and harbour revision orders (HROs).
Lee has extensive and practical knowledge of the statutory DCO process in particular, having worked, over the past five years, on the successful promotion of four DCOs. This involvement has ranged from initial design, consultation, preparation and submission of applications, as well as a wide range of responsibilities relating to the examination, including hearing management and general case making, leading to the gaining of consent and delivery of the project.
