Simon Harth

I am a founding director of the Society of Land Referencers and an experienced land referencing and infrastructure-consents professional. I have supported major UK infrastructure and development projects, helping project teams understand land ownership, occupation, rights and the people affected by change. I am particularly interested in digital transformation, professional standards and embedding land referencing early in project development to improve decisions, strengthen engagement and deliver better outcomes for people and places.

A central focus of my work with SoLR is strengthening collaboration across the specialist land referencing community. By connecting practitioners, employers and the wider infrastructure sector, we aim to build a stronger professional community, support clearer career pathways and encourage shared learning across organisational boundaries. I believe this collaborative approach is fundamental to raising the visibility of land referencing and demonstrating the value that skilled, professional land referencing services bring to projects, clients and affected communities.
