DPP appoints planner at Cardiff HQ

Planning consultancy DPP has appointed Osian Roberts as principal planner in its Cardiff office to tackle increasing workloads in the residential sector.

Roberts (pictured) was previously a principal planner at Geraint John Planning and has also worked at Bridgend County Borough Council and CDN Planning.

“A great deal of my experience is in the residential sector, which fits well with DPP’s growing workload, but I will also be involved in regeneration and commercial property," said Roberts.

Chief executive Gareth Hooper said: “Osian's expertise in the residential sector is key for us as we expand."

DPP’s Cardiff office is currently working on a 1,200-home scheme in Poole, Dorset. In addition to its Cardiff office, DPP has offices in Manchester, Leeds, London and Newcastle upon Tyne.
