Over the 35 years that DWD has been established we have gained a breadth of experience across the UK and as a result are well placed in dealing with Local Planning Authorities and other decision making bodies.

Whatever the size of a development project, or aspiration for sites when purchasing land or buildings, it will only be realised once planning permission is secured. Our planning consultant team's work can range from assisting with smaller applications, such as discharging planning conditions and changing the use of individual units, to larger applications such as large power stations and urban extensions.

Having a strong planning consultancy on board from the outset can also ensure that valuable due diligence is undertaken. This involves understanding a site's planning history and identifying any restrictive conditions, as well as undertaking important checks to spot any potential show-stoppers and helping to de-risk the future stages of a project.

The driving force behind our planning consultant team are our people who are either accredited by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) or the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Both of which are organisations who are responsible for shaping policy and setting the highest professional standards.
