  • Each member of the PDI team has a genuine interest in planning and politics.
  • PDI retains strong connections to Westminster and we are fully appraised of all emerging policy.
  • We have helped deliver planning permissions (or resolutions to grant planning) for in excess of 12,000 new homes, on over 450 hectares of greenfield and brownfield land.
  • This includes 43 hectares of commercial space; 9 primary schools and a secondary school, as well as numerous hotels, supermarkets, care homes and retail parks.

“We worked very closely with PDI on the new community at Chesterton in Cirencester. Throughout this process Jeremy and his team were energetic in their pursuit of the key local political issues and insightful in their analysis. This ensured we were able to address these issues in our strategy and most importantly communicate clearly with the main stakeholders”
