Rooted at our core is a collection of highly experienced and committed professionals who are focused on successful team working to deliver optimum results for our extensive and varied client base. Founding members of Planning and Design Group (P&DG) have been delivering planning, masterplanning, heritage and urban design projects together since 2004. In December 2012, Richard Hall established P&DG following 15 years as an owning Director of planning and urban design consultancy, Andrew Martin Associates, before becoming the Director of Planning for Capita PLC for a further 4 years.
Within only a few months of setting up P&DG, previous colleagues joined with Richard, notably fellow Directors, Bob Woollard and David Peck, both with immense experience of planning in the Public and Private sectors.
These initial, strong foundations and well proven working relationships resulted in substantial development of the business to encompass all areas of the planning and development industry. From the early days, P&DG has been able to successfully tackle nationally significant projects alongside simpler, everyday projects advice that can sometimes be solved in one phone call.
