The DP9

Approach

We Are Different >

Planning can be perceived as a rigid, linear process, simplistically whether criteria are met or not. DP9’s approach is different, we advocate a more inclusive, effective process. We marry our in-depth knowledge of the planning system, both current and emerging policy and legislation, with our clients’ objectives and an understanding of political and public consensus. It’s the cohesion of these elements that deliver the positive outcomes DP9 has become known for.

Building

Relationships

Trusted And Valuable >

Building mutually beneficial and respectful relationships is at the heart of DP9’s approach to successful planning. We are fully committed to our Clients and the successful delivery of projects depends upon our relationships not only with them but also with all stakeholders at every level, whether that be industry, government or community. Our ability to listen but also challenge respectfully and appropriately where necessary, yields us results.

Our Clients

Commercial To Charitable >

DP9’s clients are primarily large scale commercially focused with projects located predominantly in and around London and the South East. However, DP9’s Client list notably also includes schools, universities, charities and cultural institutions. In addition, DP9 completes a significant amount of pro bono work for good causes.

Driving Positive

Change

Impacting Communities Positively >

We are proud to be part of a wider team that helps deliver beneficial change on our landscape and in our communities. Delivering successful outcomes that meet the needs of all stakeholders helps us achieve this ambition. DP9 has been recognised with a number of industry awards as a result.
