DPDS Ltd

At DPDS, we believe that the future of our built environment is what we make it today. Since our founding in 1985, we have been dedicated to creating a legacy for future generations through thoughtful town planning and imaginative architectural design. Based in the heart of Old Town Swindon, we bring over 35 years of local knowledge and technical excellence to every project we touch.

The Power of Our 'One Team' Approach

What truly sets us apart is our multidisciplinary structure. We don't just look at a project through a single lens; we integrate the skills of town planners, architects, surveyors, urban designers, and environmental specialists under one roof.

This collaborative environment allows us to:

• Maximise Development Potential: We identify opportunities that others might miss by looking at the planning and design constraints simultaneously.
• Streamline the Process: By managing everything from inception to completion, we reduce the friction often found when hiring separate consultants.
• Deliver Practical Solutions: Our designs are not just attractive; they are cost-effective, practical, and grounded in planning reality.

From Householder Extensions to Strategic Land

We pride ourselves on being as comfortable working with individual homeowners as we are with major housebuilders and local authorities. No project is too small for our attention, and no development is too large for our resources.

Specialists in Heritage and Complex Planning

Navigating the complexities of listed buildings, conservation areas, and HMO conversions requires a delicate touch and a deep understanding of policy. We have an impressive track record of delivering successful schemes in sensitive environments, including notable projects such as Kingshill House in Swindon and Calcutt Farm in Cricklade.

Whether you are seeking advice on Permitted Development rights for a home renovation or need a comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment for a commercial site, we apply the same level of creative thinking and professional dedication.

Why Homeowners and Investors Trust Us

We are an independent consultancy that balances commercial soundess with environmental awareness. Our reputation is built on being approachable and professional, providing the strategic advice needed to turn a vision into a reality. We don't just provide a service; we act as your project co-ordinators, navigating Section 106 negotiations, local plan representations, and feasibility studies to ensure your project moves forward with confidence.
