We are particularly proud of our track record of securing planning consent for valuable community facilities on behalf of both public and private sector clients – from village halls to libraries and pre-schools.
It is especially important that these projects are informed by full public engagement and DHA has extensive experience of planning and executing public consultation through a variety of media, to ensure that the end product is fit-for-purpose for generations to come.
DHA's multi-disciplinary team will guide you through the planning process from start to finish, enabling you to minimise risk and deliver optimum solutions for your community
