Lin Cousins (MRTPI)

Lin  is a town planner by background and worked in both the public and private sectors before helping to set up Three Dragons in 1996. With Three Dragons, Lin has worked across the UK and has a broad portfolio of assignments, specialising in affordable housing delivery, planning research, rural housing and Self and Custom-build development.

In her role as project director, Lin regularly leads policy studies into the way the planning system delivers mixed communities, both on large-scale urban extensions and new communities as well as in rural settings such as national parks.  As an innovator, Lin helped design new ways of addressing planning issues such as the development of Three Dragons Demand Assessment model for Custom and Self-build housing and the Three Dragons commuted sum calculator.

Lin regularly gives conference presentations and works with local authority officers and councillors to develop best practice.
