With the introduction of new governance arrangements for the Council in July 2001, he became Cabinet Member for the Environment. In May 2003, he became Cabinet Member for Planning Policy and Transportation, a new portfolio that allowed him to continue to develop his interest in promoting outstanding streetscape design and the enhancement of the public realm.  Subsequently he added responsibility for Housing Policy to his portfolio.

In early 2009, Daniel Moylan was appointed Deputy Chairman of Transport for London by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson.

Twenty years ago he founded Egan Associates, a provider of specialised training services to leading financial institutions in the U.K. and overseas.

Daniel Moylan is interested in recapturing London’s reputation for outstanding, classical streetscape design; he wants to create barrier-free environments and to experiment with the interaction between design and behaviour in the public realm, to see if design can encourage decorous conduct and responsible autonomy amongst road users. His achievements were recognised by election as an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 2008.
