One of the UK’s largest planning consultants has gone in to administration.

DPP will continue to trade as a new company retaining its name. It has seven offices in London, Newcastle, Belfast, Bedford, Cardiff, Leeds and Manchester. At the end of last year it closed its Edinburgh and Glasgow offices.

A statement issued by the company said:

“As of 6^th August 2012 the company trading as DPP Consulting Ltd has been put into administration. The business and all its assets will now be trading as a new company retaining the title of ‘DPP’. Moving forward the directors and professional staff of the former business along with the existing income stream will move across to this new company.

“Maintaining the high standard of customer care and delivery to clients that DPP is renowned for across the industry remains our top priority during this time. Our professional team will continue to operate and service clients to its existing capacity across our specialist planning, heritage and sustainability areas and via our new company will deliver greater flexibility and closer director-led service to our clients.”
