Howard Elliott has over 30 years' experience of the competing interests in the countryside, drawn from a research background in land resource evaluation, some 13 years service as a senior officer of the National Farmers Union, and from private consultancy involving a wide range of rural planning and environmental issues. He has worked extensively with public and private interests in commissions concerning the assessment of the impact of urban developments and infrastructure proposals on agricultural and other rural resources; rural projects related to the development of the rural economy and conservation and recreational initiatives, and the appraisal of related policy frameworks; and individual agricultural and rural planning proposals, principally relating to commercial and residential developments in the countryside.
