David Schumacher

With over 30 years’ experience in transport planning and traffic engineering, in both the public and private sectors, David has promoted schemes ranging from major infrastructure projects (including new roads etc) to private development projects (including city/town regeneration schemes), major housing developments, large scale commercial developments, new health facilities and numerous sports stadia across the UK and Europe.

Before establishing Prime, David spent the last few years heading up the transport team at one of the UK’s major strategic land development companies.

Here he provided transport advice on all aspects of the planning process, from site selection to receiving planning content, giving him a unique insight into the commercial and technical pressures faced by developers operating in today’s planning systems.

David is often called upon for the preparation and delivery of evidence as an Expert Witness in relation to highway/transport issues at Public Inquiry, but his biggest strength is his ability to build relationships with clients, fellow professionals and local highway authority officers.

Outside of work, David enjoys watching a wide selection of sports including various forms of motor racing around the UK and Europe, following Haverfordwest FC (don’t ask) and walking the office dog.
